Petroleum Club in Midland Texas is the best I have ever had. Been to Ruth's Chris and a host of others, but this is the best. | |||

A very generous offer. Thank you. I would say I'd buy the wine, but it might be far cheaper to buy the steak.  We can work it out if it comes to that. I dunno, we've got some relatives on my wife's side in Pasadena, but, generally speaking, I try to avoid the LA area these days. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.

You can sneak in and out in the middle of the night. Either way it's still a lot safer than any block of Broad Street in NOLA. I don't drink wine anymore so you're off the hook there.  | |||

This one, Steve Fields Steak & Lobster Lounge in Plano, doesn't get the headlines of the others, but they are great. Very friendly, professional service personnel. I should have mentioned them along with Ruth's Chris and III Forks. We go to Steve Fields for birthdays and anniversaries. http://www.stevefields.com/ Another good one for special occasions is The Mercury in Dallas. http://www.themercurydallas.com/dinner/ Great steaks at the Mercury, but to be honest, I almost always find something else I want more than their steaks. The Mercury Thanksgiving buffet is stunning; a full room of tables stuffed with every kind of food you can imagine. All you can eat; and you can't eat it all. | |||

Vic and anthonies in houston serves a pretty awesome steak Mortons in san antonio (I know there are a bunch, but the one in san antonio is in my opinion the best) However, I still think I can cook a better steak than just about any steakhouse. I have become friends with the butchers at the local costco and sometimes tip them, and they will go through their eyes and get me the absolute best prime rib eye they have , often times cutting into a couple to find a really good one. I sous vide the meat with salt and pepper to 133 degrees Fahrenheit and then sear with a blow torch. Filets go to 128 and then the blow torch..... This gets you a perfect steak EVERY time. I also love A1...... on my baked potato. | |||

I was in your area a couple of weeks ago. We dined at the Queensview Steakhouse at Parkers Lighthouse in Long Beach. Beautiful view, mediocre steak at best. | |||

Good to know. I rarely have a reason to head into LB, but when I do, there's a hole in the wall diner on Signal Hill out past the Iowa. Very small place with great Mexcentic breaffy and lunch. | |||

FWIW, here is a list of someone's idea of the top 20 steakhouses in the US. Most of which I never heard of and, if I recall correctly, none of which are in NYC. Bern's and Pappa's in Dallas and Houston are near the top.I would suggest it should be viewed across a large grain of salt. http://www.bestplacesnow.com/B...r-Steakhouses/1?dv=c If nothing else, it might help direct someone to a decent steak out in the hinterlands. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.

I remember reading the best steakhouse lists in the in-flight magazines. I thought it was pretty cool to have been to some until my marketing professor said the steakhouses collaborated to make up the list and the association for their benefit.

Nothing is as bad as a bad steak. Tried steak at a Portuguese restaurant in Orlando - terrible. Place is Galletenos - I would stay as far away as possible. Grade F. Should have driven the extra 7 miles to Texas De Brazil. Mike | |||

Costco is the best meat. I should just cook my steaks at home - 1/4 of the cost and just as good. Mike | |||

Philadelphia - Del Frisco's (I know it's a chain, but ours is in an olde-tyme bank and the atmosphere is fantastic) Dallas - III Forks. Been there twice on business for a reason. Absolutely fantastic. Still, though, I'll be that guy and say the best steak I've had overall have been the one's I've grilled at home. Maybe it's the $$$ savings or the taste, but it adds up to me. _____________________________________________________ No safe queens! | |||

I agree. I know a Lebanese butcher who supplies most of the local steakhouses. He ages all his beef a minimum of 21 days, the proper way. I've got some aged as long as 35 days but I've never had a bad steak from him. And I pay the same price as at the grocery store for a nice, thick-cut steak that's not dripping wet because it's been pumped full of water. | |||

I've eaten at Peter Lugar at least a hundred times when I was in my late 20's and Williamsburg was not for pussies - and I didn't have to go in the afternoon to get a table. Their Porterhouse was better then. The Palm actually had better steaks and I preferred it to Peter Lugar because I didn't have to smell Gatsby wannabees... I've eaten Rib Chops at Maestro's at least a hundred times - pretty good stuff. Their chef used to reserve Kansas City Baseballs for me when they had to occasion to get some. I was a regular at Maestro's for years. My favorite place to eat now is Roaring Fork -- not because of any other reason than they actually have some damned fine food! They have the best damned burger on Earth and the only better burger is by me, because I buy a prime shoulder and cut the pot roast out and then grind the rest into burgers. Other than that, I cook at home. | |||

Costco meat department is the best value for $. Costco is the best retailer hands down - much better than Amazon which is second best. Costco is a welfare service for its members. Nothing marked up more than 13% - you can get 3% back via Costco credit card and executive membership. 10% markup and best return policy. If only the real welfare state ran 1/4 as efficiently.

Of the all the metro areas I have regularly dined in which include: Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, Phoenix, Denver, Chicago, Dallas, Austin, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Boston, NYC, Omaha, Detroit, Washington, DC, Orlando, and Columbus...the best has been: The Royce at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena, CA Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

The best steak I ever ate was in a churrascaria in Hermosiilo, Mexico in '07. I almost couldn't finish it because of the all the tripas. Pretty ironic in that the damn wetbacks in the Houston steakhouses seem to do nothing but fuck up any steak I order rare- always comes up mid rare, which I do not find appetizing. God forbid I ask for one black and blue (very few know what that means). I prefer mine that way as I enjoy the taste of a nice crust but do not like the taste of cooked steak at all. There are two types of people in the world: those that get things done and those who make excuses. There are no others. | |||

Our favorite restaurant is the East Side in New Britain, Ct. They have outstanding food including prime rib and many others. A primary feature of this place is the fun there! They have singing and cheers. If you like turn up your sound and hear them on their site. East Side site. Here is the Hunters Lounge at the East Side.  | |||

In the middle of nowhere in West Texas (which happens to be in the middle of everywhere) is a place called the Esplanda Land and Cattle country. I stopped there one time after scouting a deer lease because my regular BBQ joint was closed. It was hands down the best steak I've ever had. A solid 24oz ribeye, with a crappy salad and a baked potato. Nothing fancy, but the single best steak I've ever had. I've eaten at Pappas many times, and El Gaucho, The Butcher Shop, countless Ruth's Chris...none came close (maybe El Gaucho...that baseball sirloin is superb) It's in Dickens, TX if you're ever in the neighborhood. I'll make the 90 minute drive on occasion just to eat there. If I am working, hunting season is too far away to imagine. If I am getting things ready for hunting season, opening day is perilously close. | |||

I would think the more relevant question is what is the best steak? 1. Does it matter what kind of steer it comes from. 2. Does it matter what it eats, and when. 3. Does it matter how it was slaughtered. 4. Does it matter how long it has been stored before it is cooked and served. 5. Does it matter how it was stored? | |||
