Food and Drink Steak Paradise: What's your "go to" steakhouse? - Page 8

Stewie · 04-22-2011, 02:32 PM

I'm watching Steak Paradise on the Travel Channel and it got me to thinking. Where do you go for a consistently great steak? Plus, where did you have the "best steak ever" in your culinary adventures?

For me:

Most consistently great steak = Ruth's Chris

Best "steak" ever = Prime Rib at a restaurant on the Cal/Nev border next to Lake Tahoe. The name escapes me, but it was at a casino that Sinatra frequented.

I know prime rib isn't a steak by definition, but that meal was so good it has stuck in my mind for a decade.

I can't remember the last time I had a steak in a restaurant.

I usually grill Ribeyes from Sam's. Over charcoal.

Why? You'll just contribute additional cooking depth to the meat.

Sous vide.

Cook and then sear.

Sear first.

Back in Myrtle Beach, there was a restaurant called Divine Prime. Best steaks I've ever had.

Hereford House has the best filets in town and thats my cut of meat.

Where I live the Cherokee Steakhouse is the go to place, best affordable steak. Its more expensive the usual yet reasonable. The best chain place for me is the Texas Roadhouse.

It's near the Dillons on Highway 24. Their specialty (besides steak) is French fries and gravy.

Best steak I ever had was Ruth's Chris in Vegas. But I liked the blue cheese toping on it. So what do I know.

I also fairly regularly get the Cajun Ribeye at Chilli's. It's pretty good as a total meal (garlic toast there is really good... plus loaded mashed potatoes). Though it used to be better before they started making it a bit thinner.

Ok, forgot that I had Kobe Beef in Kobe Japan a few years back. That's the best I've ever had. But that's sort of cheating.

Heh! Yeah, but that was such a great prime rib meal it had to be mentioned.

On a business trip to the Mayo Clinic we went to dinner at a steakhouse in Rochester, MN. One of our group was a big wig from Boeing and he ordered prime rib WELL DONE. I about fell out of my chair.

Flame (literally the name of restaurant) in springfield (by the square) is pretty good for steak, but about as expensive as springfield gets.

There used to be a place called The Mint by the Keystone ski resort. Very tasty dead cow there.

I can't afford the kind of steaks that people who work in cubicles all day can afford, I have to go to Longhorn
