Regarding the Kansas City Steaks, they are pricey. They charge $120 per pound for USDA Prime filet mignon, as compared to $35 per pound at Publix. I have never been disappointed with the Publix steaks. You can definitely tell the difference in tenderness between USDA Prime vs USDA Choice.
They do have excellent marbling.

My two brothers both got to very expensive dinners and on their businesses' expense while meeting with customers but I never had that opportunity. Law librarians usually ate at rather inexpensive places. So I never got to one of these very fancy steak places.
