It honestly bothers me to buy a steak at a steakhouse. - musubi Oct 14, 12:44 32
- I rarely do as well, but that's because I get steaks from the farm. - Reagen Oct 14, 12:51
- Not all steaks are created equal (nor all burgers for that matter). -- nm - Don Homer Oct 14, 12:46 3
  - They're not, but my steaks are awesome. (nm) - musubi Oct 14, 12:49 2
    - Your butt steak is not the topic of discussion -- nm - oblique Oct 14, 12:57 1
      - Regardless, it is awesome. (nm) - musubi Oct 14, 12:59
- you can cook steak at home for 1/10 the price, but the really good steak houses get amazing cuts that you still would pay a fortune for at a butcher, - Andie Oct 14, 12:46 18
  - Don't get me wrong, like I said, I understand the dynamic. But the fact that it's a beverage just *feels* bizarre to me. - musubi Oct 14, 12:48 17
    - I feel the same way as you do about most steakhouses - that I can make them at home. But I can't blend scotch, or age port 40 years. -- nm - Roger More Oct 14, 12:49 16
      - well, you *could*, but whether it would be worth the effort is a completely different matter. -- nm - znufrii Oct 14, 12:52 15
        
        I'm doing my best to hang onto the Macallan 18 that Diva got me a few years ago. - Mel Profit Oct 14, 12:55 14
        
        My friend does this with his yearly birthday present to himself, a bottle of the aforementioned Bushmills 21 Rare. - znufrii Oct 14, 12:58 9
        
        When we finally get a grown up place where I can store things like this I'm going to buy a bottle and put it away. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 14, 12:59 8
        
        this reminds me, one of these days I need to throw a whiskey party - znufrii Oct 14, 13:02 4
        
        count us in. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 14, 13:04 3
        
        hopefully I can find a free weekend before I leave for Philly. - znufrii Oct 14, 13:06 2
        
        when do you leave for Philly? -- nm - Roger More Oct 14, 13:07 1
        
        January, exact date tbd. -- nm - znufrii Oct 14, 13:08
        
        ...and then next to where I store that bottle, I'm building an enormous ball pit! -- nm - Mel Profit si Oct 14, 13:02 2
        
        I hate you Chewie. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 14, 13:05
        
        This made me laugh way too hard. (nm) - musubi Oct 14, 13:03
        
        Jealous. That's some good shit. The 15 is darn tasty, too. - TWuG Oct 14, 12:57
        
        dude - we can get more. -- nm - Diva Oct 14, 12:57 2
        
        but it won't be as old! -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 14, 12:59 1
        
        heh -- nm - TFox Oct 14, 12:59
- Ruth Cris was easily the best steak I have ever eaten. -- nm - Beaker Oct 14, 12:45 7
  - It's probably my least favorite of the high end steakhouse chains. -- nm - pmb Oct 14, 12:49 4
    - i've only been to one once. i remember my steak tasted like butter. literally, butter. it was delicious though. -- nm - Andie Oct 14, 12:51 3
      - Pretty sure that's because Ruth's Chris literally cooks it in butter. - musubi Oct 14, 12:53 2
        
        Yup. Big dollup of butter on top. -- nm - pmb Oct 14, 12:57
        
        that's basically every steak in France, FWIW. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 12:54
  - Been to Mortons once. $99 coupon for a four course meal. Delish! -- nm - lileve Oct 14, 12:46 1
    - they got a throughly nasty review of their san fran place, totally trashed them -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 14, 13:28
exactly. sometimes splurging on something you really like occasionally is just fine. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 14, 12:43 1
- my example holds with this as well :) -- nm - Beaker Oct 14, 12:44
I was going to use the $1500 escort vs the $5 crack whore example but yours works too -- nm - Beaker Oct 14, 12:43
