Most chain outlets (Longhorn/Outback and the like) cannot accomodate requests like that since most of their cuts are pre-done and must operate according to the chain's SOP manual. But..if you go to an independent restaurant, you're more likely to be able to ask for a custom cut. There's a great restaurant in Knoxville, Tennessee that was once featured on the Travel Channel's "Man vs. Food" called Ye Olde Steakhouse who has an "extra ounces" board, where you are allowed to order cuts pretty much as large as you like. There's a base cut and then it's so much more per ounce to increase the size of your cut. Went there a few years ago for my B-Day. Had a WONDERFUL dinner and a HUGE prime rib!
