nyc strip with the bone ON = kc strip

Just no.

Yes

That's generally true (partial bone on) but it certainly isn't a hard and fast rule at all. Seen plenty of KC Strips with no bone.

rib eye. nothing beats the 'candy' edge of goodness that I save for the very end.

Ribeyes......then everything else.

this man is wise. and most likely has a 10" wiener

Do you know how I know you buy your steaks off the shelf?

Top sirloin for me.

Okay, so I exaggerated when I said it has NO flavor. But it still pales in comparison on its own merits when compared with other cuts.

It's simply not worth the price.

:shake:

The stock yards were here, not there. The egotistical ****s didn't think they could market a steak named after some dot on their map in their fancy restaurants. Eventually the bone was removed, steak quality be damned, because it was cheaper to ship it around the country without it. After a period of time their customers became sensitive to seeing a bone on their plate and even the best of the grill guys were forced to remove it.

I've never met a butcher, especially one from the Midwest, who didn't know what a KC Strip is.

Current markets are all over the place and customers really have no clue what they're looking at anyways so they call several cuts by various names, and even make some up as they go.

The NY Strip is a re-badge of the KC Strip.

In fact, once when I was in Vegas on business I won a bet on the correct name of the strip steak.

The waiter at Ruth's Chris correctly stated that the original nomenclature for the strip was the Kansas City Strip rather than the NY Strip.

The best named version of this particular cut of meat is the Playboy Strip from Jess & Jim's in Martin City, which is a 25 ounce cut that was featured in Playboy magazine as the best steak in America back in the day.

There's no such thing as a ny strip. They don't have cattle in NYC. That's like saying a spiked drink is a Lees Summitt Iced Tea. No dice.

What did it say on the menu?

There was a time when they referred to it as the New York strip because "it was a more cosmopolitan name". They were met with enough backlash from Midwestern customers they change it back to the KC Strip on the menus being sent to the majority of their locations. I haven't been in one for several years, but I'm pretty sure they're back to calling it a New York strip. :harumph:

Back in the day Don Fortune recalled a story about the Jets visiting Arrowhead. The NY media was mingling pregame with local media and one asked "this looks a lot like te Meadowlands, did you copy the blueprint?"


Fortune replied that indeed the two stadiums used the same blueprint, and the same firm, but that Arrowhead was five years older. They didn't believe him
