I think some people miss the point about the type of place LK2 is looking for. Most likely it will not have the words steak or chop in their title. Not that a great, usually expensive, steak house doesn't whet my appetite. What we're talking about is the type of place, as LK2 mentioned, where the nightly specials are the reason to go. The chef sees what product looks the best when s/he purchases it and creates some great specials from it. Yes it can be pricey but it is usually worth it. And yes I know that it's sacrilegious but since we don't drink wine (well at least my wife doesn't
) it can be a reasonable cost for us.
