The Gallery Restaurant/Charlotte

September 17, 2009
Okay people, keep in mind that I want a great tasting Prime Rib or Ribeye, it comes from the same cut.  Any place I mention that I don't specifically write "GO GET IT," is not going to give you the wow factor you want.  I want you to have a wow factor when you eat a steak that I recommend because that's what I want.  The places that I say "GO GET IT," are going to be the places that, if need be, you will save up for just to go to once a month.
    The Gallery's Prime Rib was pretty good and the price tag for two people was under a hundred including desert so that wasn't bad either.  The presentation was great when it came out but I've had better here so those are going to be the places that get the "GO GET IT," seal of approval.  I'm talking awesome steak here!  Unfortunately The Gallery doesn't get that.  I will say try it but if you only want the dancing taste bud feeling then keep following me.  God bless
 

Bentley’s on 27th/ Charlotte

September 17, 2009
Bentley’s on 27th has a great view and the view of my Prime Rib was great until I tasted it!  It wasn't horrible and I haven't had a steak that was so bad that I wanted to spit it out.  But in my search for the best Prime Rib ever, I want sparks and I want whistles.  I also want my money back because for the price I paid for my meal, I didn't get any of that when I tasted it.  By far it was plan and needed work.  Now I know you pay for the view.  But if everything I order for a price of ove...

Tha Palm Restaurant/Charlotte

September 17, 2009
These next few blogs I'm going to get to the point.  Everybody has a different way of looking at restaurants.  As far as atmosphere goes that all depends on your mood, romantic go some place quiet, rowdy, go some place where you can get loud.  Then it depends on your pocket, some people can never eat at certain restaurants other just won't!  Your service is up in the air because I've had good and bad experiences at expensive and budget places.  It all depends on who you get and what type of m...

Great Steak!/The Friar's Table, Buffalo NY, 2008

September 7, 2009
My last post told you about the best Prime Rib I've ever had.  But I have to say that this place almost dethroned it.  The Friar's Table in Buffalo NY, was a great place to eat.
    At this Feast Of Men meeting there was a lot of people there.  The four F.O.M members were there as well as other guests that were invited.  As they say "The more the merrier," is a true statement because we had a good time.
    The atmosphere was a laid back one as we laughed and joked with each.  No problem being ...

The Best So Far!/Shula's Steak House, Baltimore MD, 2007

September 7, 2009
On our endless search for the best Prime Rib in the US we find ourselves at Shula's Steak House in Baltimore Maryland.  This Feast Of Men meeting only involved two of the four F.O.M members due to inclement weather. But I assure you that the other two members would agree, when I tell you that this was the best Prime Rib that we have had to date!
    There was two sides, of Shula's the sports bar side and we were on the other side with the suit and tie people.  It was nice, the atmosphere was q...

Charlie Brown's Steak House, Middletown NY, 2009

September 7, 2009
The title Champ is here, is based on the FACT that I won the challenge of eating the most out of 4 others who took part in this yearly event. Although this is NOT an eating competition, we end up judging who has eaten the most after we all have concede and weight the remaining portions left on our plates.
We voted on Middletown, NY for our 2009 Feast of Men event to be hosted by Eddie Loren Williams. He chose Charlie Brown Steak House, a well known steak house with a fresh salad bar.  My overa...

Surprise!/Dakota Steak House, Latham NY, 2006

April 3, 2009

    The F.O.M meeting held at Dakota Steakhouse in Latham NY only involved three of the four members. We didn’t have prior reservations to this restaurant so we weren’t sure that they would be able to accommodate the F.O.M. But we took our chances and spoke to the hostess to see if they had 150 oz’s of prime rib laying around in the kitchen. To our surprise we got the last of it. One of the steaks came in two 25oz pieces. You got to get it how you can when it’s at the last moment.

Where it started/Red Osier Landmark, Stafford NY, 2005

March 30, 2009

Our first few FEAST OF MEN or F.O.M meetings were held at the Red Osier Landmark Restaurant located in Stafford NY about four or five miles east of Batavia NY. They have what is called a Call Cut which when we went they listed it as a 72oz prime rib. Now they list it as four or five pounds of prime rib.

So for our first few times going I thought the place was great. It had a nice atmosphere good place to take a date or if you want to take family out for a nice dinner. Nice soft music playing...

My First Encounter/Red Osier Landmark, Stafford NY, 2003

March 24, 2009
My name is Chris and for me it all started on March 5th 2003. See that's my birthday and on this particular date I woke up to a crapy start. Its wierd how you can wake up beside someone and still feel lonely. Well my best friend saw how pitiful I looked and invited me to go out to eat with his family. He told me that his wife was taking him to a fancy restaurant in Stafford New York. He said since she's buying me dinner for my birthday I'll pay for yours. Me being the food devourer I am, I co...
