I can't wait to cook up some of the steaks I bought from a guy who pulled up in a white panel van yesterday. It was the last box available. Firing up the grill.

We think that the Outback has gone down hill serving inferior beef. The recommendations that were made in this thread are spot on as you like to say. Lopez and Palmer are both great.

Longhorn's Renegade steak is my favorite.

If you are ever in the mood for a road trip and some high dollar historical steak decadence, you have to try Bern's Steak House in Tampa. Started in 1925 amazing history on this place that you can read up on at bernsteakhouse.com. They have a special "Dessert Room" there where they have many private booths that are made from old wine barrels and have private 1950's phones to call the waiter. They have the largest dessert wine, brandy,scotch,cognac,ect list that I have ever seen , all paired with wonderful desserts if you wish. You don't have to eat at the restaurant either, you can take the elevator straight up to the Dessert Room and enjoy! A must do in Florida at least once.

Wait for a bit. There's a Texas Roadhouse being built on 441/27 in front of Sam's Club.

Awesome steaks and baked sweet potatoes.

I'm going to try it out when the interest rates come down a bit so I can take out a personal loan with a reasonable payment plan.

Steak for the same price as a small herd of Cattle I'm guessing.

I've read good things about those big green eggs. They have a smaller model too. It's on my wish list.

Tom - they make several sizes, and the Egg's reputation is well earned. If you ever think you you might cook for more than 2, I would advise you to get the large unit. It's sufficient for a good size turkey, steaks for 6, etc.

I'm with you. Just wait for Texas Roadhouse to arrive . Best steaks,and the rolls with the cinnamon butter are soooooooo good. The field is cleared so looks like no time it will be up and running.

Have been there many times and you are absolutely right!!! It is usually high on most "Best Steaks Lists".
