You order a steak. It's not cooked they way you ordered (1 Viewer)

Seems like Luger is mentioned a bunch of times in this thread... While I know it is a great steak, I think you can find a better steak at a handful of steakhouses in NYC. Also getting a reservation there is the biggest pain in the ###!! You have to book it like 6-8 weeks (if not more) in advance. I think the brand name plays a factor into this as a lot of people coming to NY want to get a steak at there.

Personally I prefer these steaks over Luger, prob a few others if I put more thought into it, but def below:

BLT Steak

Quality Meats

Strip House

Dylan Prime

Other than a few year span about a decade ago when the consistency of meat quality was not quite there, Luger's, imo, is just that much better than everyone else (that I've tried). Not sure just what it is as there are the replicators out there (i.e. Marc Josephs) who do the same type of preparation etc, but the meat itself at Luger's melts in my mouth and has more of a natural buttery flavor than anything I can compare it to.

Usually I'm the guy going against the grain (because the general consensus is usually stupid since we are a nation of idiots), but I can't here. Strip House is one of my fav experiences, but it was a little overly salty the couple times I've been.

Not sure why, but I find the Capitol Grille steaks lacking in taste at times. My biggest issue with them is a lack of potatoes (hashbrowns, lyonaisse) that are almost, nay, ARE a necessity with a good cut of meat.

No way

Way.

It's better than Morton's ( they wet age but have better sides for me), way better than Ruth's Chris but I prefer Palm both for the steak and overall experience.

That said Lugers is still my fav and by a good margin. But that's limited to NY.

I'm speaking to the potato bit.

To what end? That it's not a necessity? Come on, no one is proud to call themselves a "meat and asparagus guy"

And only a fool would be proud to call himself a "meat and potatoes guy."

I think it is a matter of preference and what a particular restaurant specializes in... If a steakhouse he frequents has some awesome asparagus, I see no reason not to pair it with a steak... The meat is heavy enough. But then again, can't go wrong with potato either.

I know if I'm going to Del Frisco's they have an amazing Cauliflower and Brie, have to get it, Strip House has Goose Fat Potatoes, need those, etc. etc.

Y'all are taking this WAY to seriously.

Although that doesn't make you vegetarian steak eaters any less of a wuss.

Wuss? I guaranty I can eat more streak that you. So suck on that, sweet cheeks.

As chain steak places go, I prefer Flemings.

Maybe Christo likes eating meat with balls.

I had one very meh experience at the Flemings in LA Live, and a considerably better one with what appeared to be a revamped menu that included dry aged offerings that had not been available when I first went there.

The Flemings I went to in San Diego was very disappointing. The one near my house in Livonia, Mi is like 20/20. I think when we talk any chain restaurant, the ownership and management plays a huge role.

There used to be a place in Anchorage that did this. Club Paris. I think it was 72 oz. If you could eat it it was free, If not you paid market value for it.

Is there a stipend for health care costs?

I love steak, but that seems like work. I want to enjoy steak. Not labor through it. :X

I saw someone try it one night. Not sure they finished a third of it. Looked like they were going to need an ambulance as it was. Couldn't imagine what eating the whole thing would do to the average person.

Is the 72oz steak any good at least or is it like eating a tough rubber doormat?

Big steaks are good a juicy. There is a local steak place that makes a 36 Oz Sirloin for two. Sirloin is definitely not the best cut, but that is a good steak.

I think even if it was the best steak you have ever eaten, after about 24 ounces it will all start to taste the same.

I lived in Amarillo for many years. I never tried the 72 oz steak, but the steaks in general there are not very good. I think once long ago it may have been decent, but it's a pure tourist trap kind of place now.

This. Why people like to take enjoyable things and make them a miserable experience is beyond me.
