I recall a guy on another forum bought an A5 loin (the whole thing) to serve at a dinner party he was having, and posted pictures of the whole process they went through. It was recommended it sit out for a certain amount of time, so he had it on a cutting board, sliced into the steaks they were going to serve. The grease was running out of it at room temp.

Mmm mmm, it looked great. I want to say he spent $1500 or 2500 on that loin, I don't recall, but it was a lot. One time splurge thing just to say he did. He said it was like nothing else.
For you guys who like Burgers, Allen Brothers sells burgers made using the trimmings from their dry aged prime beef steaks, and I buy those regularly. They are well worth the money. (Yes, they're expensive vs store ground beef). Truly the best burger you'll ever have. The "Burger" is the highlight of a sandwich. Once you've eaten one, you'll get what I mean. I also have some of their Wagyu burgers, I think I got a box of 8 last time I purchased. I'm not gonna say they're 'worth the money', but they're really good also. I want to say all-in, I was around $4 and low change for each 8oz burger. Not prohibitive.
I've had their Dry aged steaks as well. They are hands down the best steaks I ever ate, but they are not worth the money. To try once and say you did, sure. But you can buy prime beef at your local store and get 85% as good for 1/5th the money. They won't be dry aged, but you can also dry age your own if you really want to do it. You just need to start with whole loins, you can't dry age cut steaks.
These are probably their best deal on burgers... I got 2 of these on sale a few months ago for I want to say $119.xx??? each... That's a lot of burgers! Pro tip, do NOT thaw them in water, the packages don't always stay sealed and you can get water in em...
