bzzzz wrong

ok ok there's a tiny amount of fat in a filet BUT real men know that's a "ladies" cut of beef


"Rib-eye: A boneless cut from the eye of the prime rib with excellent marbling and a one-quarter- to three-quarter-inch ribbon of fat running through it. Typically, rib-eye is the most flavorful steak. For an extra punch of flavor, look for a bone-in rib-eye (called the Delmonico at the Capital Grille).

New York strip (sometimes called sirloin): A dense, slightly chewy cut, it boasts more tenderness than the rib-eye but maintains a good deal of flavor. The bone-in version is sometimes called a Kansas City strip. This is the most popular steak at the Palm, which also offers a 36-ounce double cut for two.

Filet mignon or tenderloin: The most tender, least marbled and mildest flavored steak. Steakhouse sources say it

Abe and Louie's is the only place I've found the bone in filet so far. It was good, but not as good as the filet from Ruth's Chris I've had. I liked the Morton's filet better than the A&L's as well. I only eat my steak rare...not med rare I haven't had a filet at a good steak house that lacked flavor. It's hard to trade so much tenderness for a bit of flavor, but I will humor you Steve and pick up a delmonico and give it a try. I've done the porterhouse at Mortons and found I enjoyed the filet side much more than the NY strip. I get NY strips at Costco to cook at home and those have a side strip of fat on one edge. They are mighty tasty....but still I prefer the filet. Charleys did offer the Kansas City strip...they had a nice presentation and some lovely cuts.

wow you just listed some of the best steak houses i know - LOVE ruth chris'

TheToon

Best damn steak house there is!

Ray K.

yeah I have to agree on Ruth's Chris....Smith and Wollensky's has been so inconsistent. Morton's is great, but Ruth's Chris is just a little better. I've been to one in Philly, 2 in DC, and the one in Boston and they all just rock. We are taking Jen's mom there soon as a gift. I can't wait.

Lobster and steamers! YUMMY!!!!!

They have to be, by far, my favorites!

So lobster lovers when are we all getting together for a cruise and a lobster fest????

TheToon

I've actually been giving some thought to the same thing. The North Shore is beautiful this time of year, and lobsters and steamers at Woodman's in Essex sure wouldn't suck.

Well if you all want to do that, my +1's grandfather is a lobsterman. If we want to do that i can get a pretty good price on them
