Best Steakhouses

[AdamaNation]

I'm old, love steak and have traveled to and eaten steak in just about every major city in this country. Trust me : it is Peter Luger's and it isn't close.

Would Wolfgang’s be close?

If you are every in central Florida, head to Manny's Chop House. Great steaks! Locations in Davenport, Lake Wales, Winter Haven, Lakeland and Kissimmee.

They know how to do a rare steak.

Arthur’s is great for what it is and make no mistake I like it - my family lived in Bernardsville so have been there many, many times.

But it’s not quite in the league of the places that are in this thread.

My son and I went to the UCF game. He made reservations to Linda's La Cantina (Orlando). Fantastic steak. They offer a pound, 1.5 and a 2 pounder. Spoke to my son last night to make sure I had the right name. Excellent steak. I have no idea of the appetites of the Boneyard, however, let me say the next time I will take the salad, and that is it. No sides for me. It will go to waste. I tasted my side of spaghetti and Marinara sauce. *shrugging shoulders* no big deal. In fact one bite and that was it. I have photos on my cell phone like some on this thread. I need to figure out how to do it. In addition, I have had a few good steaks at Texas Roadhouse. Even Longhorn. Linda's has a great house wine. Salad was great. Cannot wait for our next game in Orlando.

Yup. My dad’s steaks coulda been used to resole his shoes.

Get to the Boneyard on your phone. In the box where you can post (says "Write your reply...") you'll see "Post Reply, "Upload a File" and "More Options" on the bottom. Click on "Upload a File". Then click on "Photo Library" and click on the picture you want to upload to the post. Then click "Post Reply" after you write your post and that should do it.

That doesnt work for everyone. Im blocked from uploading files here. I dont know if thats me or it is the case for a lot of people.

I just upload to imgur and photo link.

Any remember Hilltop steakhouse off Route 1 on the North Shore?

Not saying it was the best, but it was certainly unique (and it was very good at its prime, fell off at the end).

How's the diet going by the way? Yours is very similar to what I did to go from 240 to 207 in 8 weeks. I quit at that point, partly due to boredom. I'll pick it back up to get the rest of the way to 185 at some point. I've been pleasantly surprised since. You'll gain some pounds back just in water weight, once your body stores glycogen again. But for me it's been only 4 pounds (including through the Easter holiday) and fairly stable as long as I avoid going crazy, especially with beer.

Steakhouses? I'm not that picky. Fogo de Chao in Sau Paolo Brazil was great. Some places in KC have been great. Palm in Boston was very good. Ruth's Chris in San Francisco was very good. Capital Grille in Boston made me ill (I think from claustrophobia). Lately I like the steaks at Incontro where I live in Franklin, MA.

I come from a family that were ranchers in the Kansas Flint Hills. So we always like a good steak.

My wife wants her BBQ'ed anything well done. After I cook her steak I have to call Forensics to identify it. Even at a restaurant it is embarrassing. She will surgically remove every 1/16 of inch of fat. She will take a slice and go to work on it. What is left on the fork is a small finger fingernail size.I want to hide. Her platee has a small pile of fat on it. Now the rest of my family? Additional 7. When it is steak time they are like vultures picking on their prey. The bone is clean. I think my wife is an alien.

I saw the svelte wonder this past weekend (his non-Dead band is awesome btw) and can confirm that it is going well. Already Joker-ready.

I eat at Abe and Louis in boston and had a great meal.
In Tampa there is place called berns which is good.

Had lunch at Abe’s and Louis - agree, food real good but I did not realize it was a steak house. Chief needs to pay attention.

I've noticed this. My wife likes things rare. Even she recently sent one back, because it was purple and cold in the middle.
I used to be medium rare, but go with medium now. The downside is the occasional place that thinks medium is well done.

Honestly that looks like someone took a giant dump in a filthy dive bar toilet and didn't flush.

Sorry you cant go there.

Things will get better for you.

Never heard of "medium-rare plus" before. That sounds like what I am looking for.
