Filet mignon is the most popular steak ordered in restaurants. I have read several steak house menus in the area, and, if you want a USDA Prime filet mignon, apparently, you need to go to Ruth Chris in Orlando, where all of their steaks are USDA Prime. Or, you can buy an 8 ounce Prime filet mignon at Publix or Sam's Club for about 15 dollars and cook it yourself. I like the local steak restaurants including Longhorn, but, when I go, I always order something other than a steak. I can't see paying 3 times as much for a steak of a lower quality beef than I serve at home. I remember about 10 years ago Outback starting offering a few higher quality steaks, but it didn't last long. Apparently, people weren't willing to pay the price.
