Really looking forward to the reports.
Thanks fellas. Monday I have reservations for a world class place https://geneandgeorgetti.com
Sunday Iām not sure yet and will be with my coworker. Tuesday Iām going out with some Japanese counterparts so most likely it will be Japanese food. And yes, they will only eat at places run by Japanese if they choose Japanese food, which is likely. I will hopefully know tomorrow where we are headed. I hope some good food is in my future.

Just checked out their menu. āThick Cut Bacon and Bleu Cheese Dressingā sounds right up your alley.
I must say, for a place of that caliber in the middle of Chicago, the prices are not bad at all.

Well, we ordered a Porterhouse āRare+ Pittsburgh styleā at Mortons and managed to get out without an ass beating. It was absolutely delicious. Perhaps the best crust Iāve ever gotten on a steak. It had a uniform, nearly burnt and awesomely crispy crust all over. I donāt have a pic but it kinda looked like this.
Unfortunately since this was a 24 oz porter, it didnāt have the thickness to keep the inside rare and it was actually slightly overdone for my tastes, somewhere between M and MR. Next time Iām there Iām trying this steak Pittsburgh super rare. Iām so excited to try it again! Itās been a while since Iāve been excited by a restaurant steak.

Exactly I canāt believe their prime (and choice) cut prices. Iāve been going there more for that too! Congrats enjoy!
Ahh itās been a while since Iāve splurged for one of these. Mmmmmm
Joon speaking of pittburgh style, this was the wagyu ribeye cap I had the other day. I think itās posted above too. This thing was nuts. It was totally charred up on the outside yet the inside was super soft and warm so you got hot āoutsideā crispy goodness along with fatty warm tender āinsideā meat. The combo in one bite was off the charts. Whoever cooked this thing was on point! The pic doesnāt look great but I can assure you this thing was mouth watering.

Do you happen to have a blow torch? Thatās pretty much the way to go p burg on a steak at home. Nothing really will get hot enough but you can cheat with some char crust. If you decide to mess around with char methods, definitely keep a fire extinguisher around. Iām dead serious. Shit can go wrong very quickly with blazing hot temps and fat/oil. I almost learned the hard way and got very lucky.

Also, nothing like taking a fatty piece of cap and lathering it in butter lol. I got instant infused butter flavor, salt, char crunch, then warm inside with plenty of fat. That was a fun steak adventure! Sin city doesnāt play around. It leaves you tired, broke, hungry, horny, and wanting to come back for more

This should probably go in the āWhatās Cooking?ā thread, but here goes. Made flank steaks tonight topped with crab imperial. The steaks have a dab of garlic butter before topping with the crab. Sides of orzo pasta and spinach.

Greg I would like to point out TOS 4.2 Sec 57 Sub Sec A) 3rd paragraph states:
āWhen making and posting about flank steak with garlic butter thou shall invite the opposite of a āsenior - vidiviciā
Just so the next time you donāt get in trouble.

My esteemed colleague Iāll see your prime rib eye end cuts (via Costco) and raise you the two largest most obnoxious boneless rib eyes (choice) via Costco.
As much as we all know I love steak these two steaks were 4.44lbs or 2.2lbs per rib eye. Honestly as much as I love steak, this is obnoxious individual portions and Iām not ashamed I couldnāt finish. The only reason I bought these was because it was the only 2 pack of steaks they had left.
Delicious non the less and plenty of left overs.
