Of course I don't pay $50, but they would be worth it! Although I did buy a $70 huge, prime, dry aged ribeye at Eataly in NYC when we had a gift card. I would normally never pay that kind of money for a steak, but it took the sting out paying with a gift card for some reason. It was the greatest steak I've ever tasted!

I prefer straight medium. I don't like the texture and iron taste of the more rare ones, but I don't like how tough the meat is when it is well done.

I don't like them tough either, but I can grill a rib eye to no pink and it's still tender and delicious. Can't do that with many cuts though, from my experience...

The Bills Blog Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I'm kind of over steak. Steak is held in really high regard, but it's just not THAT flavorful. Think about how you would feel if no one had ever talked about it and you were trying it for the first time. I think it's more talked up than anything. Kind of like when people have a favorite band and over-listen and over-analyze the songs and learn to love them, without realizing that there is more refreshing music available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like steak, and will cook it every once and a while at home. I rarely, if ever, order it out to dinner. It isn't worth the price at a restaurant IMO. I'd rather opt for something just as tasty for a small price tag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will eat it once in awhile, especially if it’s at a place known for their great steaks. But I much prefer seafood, in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t believe that someone who uses the great Kent Hull as an avatar would say something so offensive and misguided. If you are ever in the NYC area, stop by and I’ll make you a steak that will change your mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that there was any breastfeeding trauma, but she did raise me recklessly as I am the youngest of six and she was just "so done" at that point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Somewhere in here there is a “separate check” suggestion. That’s fine in some circumstances, but usually not for us. We order 2-3 appetizers and some people pick, some devour, and others ignore. There’s no math for that. Just relax and split the stinkin’ check! I really wonder if this is a socio-economic (/age!) thing. If you have to worry about money more (real life, that’s fine, been there!), you watch that $$$ more. We were probably more sensitive about that years ago. I don’t really recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, I'm kind of surprised by the comments in here about bill splitting being taboo. In my experience, that's what most people do, at least around here in my area. With our friends, we just throw a card in and split it, sometimes you pay more, sometimes a little less, but it's not about the food or the money, its the enjoyment and time with people. We are all in it together, don't sweat the small stuff. In my experience, those who want to split to the penny, either don't have the money to be risking it or sometimes are just *****. If you dont have it, I get it, I'd ask the server to put the apps or drinks on me, split the rest, usually handles the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
