Last week I treated my wife to a prime rib dinner at a well known 30 yr old chop house. I ordered a $60 20 oz cut that we were to split. Paid the extra plate $10 fee. I asked for medium doneness. What we got was apparently a sous vides hunk of meat that had been cut from a roast cut seared on the grill. It was rare from edged to edge. Never been near an oven. It was low grade; tough and sinewy. Sent it back and got another one even worse. Manager apologized and blamed it on the chef. I ended up ordering a ribeye steak to go cooked medium. Got home and it was rare as well. Had just been grill marked. Had to re-cook it in the convection oven. It was OK but not great. What a disappointment! | ||

Terrible. You are probably better off buying a steer for your freezer. ~Ann   | |||

That's true, Ann. I used to do that all the time when I still had my sons at home. More expense at one time but more cost-effective overall. I would buy from one of the high school FFA kids that were raising their calf. Usually good meat + helps out the kid. | |||

Randy, it is the way to go if you can't raise your own. Go custom with a neighbor who can. One could do all their meat this way: pork, beef, chicken, rabbit, mutton, cabrito, etc. MUCH better than low quality feedlot supermarket offerings. ~Ann | |||

Me and my wife have drastically cut back on eating out. Reduced quality, and increased prices has helped us realize it just is not worth it. We took our family out for my son’s birthday that was last month. Normally, it’s very good. The steaks were terrible as well as the prime rib. I ended up paying over $300! Finally decided enough is enough. We will cook for the family next time. | |||

I agree. We are done too. I did manage to stock up on some prime beef tenderloins at Sam's Club. They were short dated and marked down 35% for quick sale. They were vacuum packed and are living temporarily in my freezer.

The cost of beef these days is out of sight, but pork is still reasonably priced, down here at least. | |||

I put three sheep in the freezer today. I am set for quite awhile! ~Ann | |||

Years ago I used to eat out almost everyday. Restaurants were great and had COOKS! Now, for many years, I refuse to go to 5 star restaurants! They have CHEFS. Who glorify themselves on be fantastic at preparing food. But they still don’t know how to COOK food. From come to our house 2-3 a week for dinner. I pick the dishes. Basic dishes. Which everyone loves, and keep telling me it is so much better than restaurants! | |||
