If you want a tender filet mignon, buy it at Publix. They sell USDA Prime filet mignon under their Greenwise label. You can also buy them at Sam's, but they are not as good as the ones at Publix. None of the steak restaurants in the area sell a USDA Prime filet, except Ruth Chris near Orlando. That includes the Chop House, Mark's in Ocala, and Prime 3 in Leesburg. It amazes me that the top steak places do not sell a USDA Prime filet.
