bills_fan Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I was wondering, Why would you go to a nice steak house, and order a Rib eye? Why not a Filet? Because a filet is generally a tender cut of meat, but rather tasteless. Especially compared with a nice dry aged bone-in rib eye. Mmmmmm....my fav cut. Leaving the bone in the rib-eye gives it more flavor when its cooking. If you want to taste 2 different cuts in the same steak, order a porterhouse, sirloin and filet. Taste the difference for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had porterhouse, sirloin and Rib eye's....etc. IMO, none of those compares to a good Filet. Anything you cook, WRT flavor, is dependent on how you cook them.

Chef Jim Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Best thing about being a Chef is that I can cook a steak just as well, if not better than any steakhouse and enjoy a great bottle of wine for a hell of lot less. And the best part is I don't even have to put on any pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfanmiami(oh) Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Harry Careys in Chicago Expensive, but good. Service was excellent, the waiter was great, and he even took a pic of all of us at the table when we asked him too Also owned in part by Marv Levy 858751[/snapback] I had a pretty damn good filet when I was there a couple years ago. We were there for my fraternity's formal weekend and stayed at the house of blues right next door. Never having been to Chicago and having none of the natives with us at the time, we figured Harry's would be a good place for our first meal. We were expecting an overpriced sports bar kind of place, and were quite surprised when we opened the menu. We said ahh screw it and all ordered steaks, drinks, etc. Needless to say, the bill for our table of 8 or 10 was pretty impressive. By halfway through the next afternoon, I was borrowing $ from my girlfriend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also expecting a sports bar kinds place. Its nice, but definitly not a cheap place. WE looked so out of place cause we were dressed in normal clothes, most of us ready for a ball game. We sat upstairs (probably to keep us out of view of the regular customers, lol) We went to the same one downtown, but there was another in the hotel across from where we stayed (the Sheraton across from O'Hare) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
