so please tell me what a KC strip is...
is it just a new york strip renamed regionally?

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.

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

Feel free.

I was born in Kansas and grew up around there and KC area.

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.

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.

It said NY. And that's when I told my distributor that it wasn't really a NY, but a KC strip. He said "Bullshit" so I bet him dinner plus whatever wine he/I wanted on it.

He asked the waiter what the real name of that cut of meat was called and the waiter, without hesitation, said "It's a Kansas City Strip."

It's hard to beat the pairing of a Latour and a decent steak.

(Though I can't even imagine eating steak now that I've switched to full vegan. ****ing meat is gross.)

When you die of a heart attack while in the process of letting cancer ravage your body, you'll still be happy to have in your possession that man card.

And, in actuality, it really doesn't have to be about the increased cancer rates and shit like that.

It really should be about the single most precious natural resource on the planet - clean water.

It takes approximately 2,500 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef. That's ten ****ing tons. Think about that the next time you have a steak. Ten ****ing tons of water for one pound of beef.

But yet, it takes one gallon of water to produce one pound of cricket protein.

Global sustainability. With 7,000,000,000 people on the planet, it's downright selfish and morally corrupt to be eating a food source that requires ten ****ing tons of water to produce one pound of food.

Here is the problem. You don't **** the meat before eating it... cuz you're right, that would be gross.

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.
