$$$$=280 for two people!

This post will be a little longer.  Normally I like to just tell you if the steak is worth getting or not, you know my, "GO GET IT" thing.  But this has to be a little longer because the Feast of Men this year came down to being at either Morton's or Fleming's and you all know Fleming's won and we had the Feast of Men there.  If you didn't read that post just do a search for it on the right.
    Where do I begin with Morton's?  It's a nice place, they have a unique way ...

You know when we first moved down to North Carolina a few years ago, being the foodie that I am, I have become very fond of certain foods and places to get them at.  So when I got a taste for ribs and started asking around no one could tell me where to get some decent ribs at so I had to find out for myself.
    If you want some pretty good ribs and don't feel like cooking them up for yourself I have found a couple of places that you can get some good ones at.  The top place on my list hands d...

I revisited a second restaurant I've been to recently because I got some coupons in the mail.  The Palm has a 837 club membership and I'm a member of it.  I got my memebership free but it costs $25 to join the club and earn points everytime you eat there.  If you keep, I believe, 500 points on your card you get a free lobster tail for your birthday.  If it were steak we would be in business.  
    I told you before that I got the Prime Rib and it wasn't to good.  This time I got the 24oz Ribey...

I've been away for awhile sorry, but I went back to LorngHorn Steakhouse.  I haven't been back in over a year. But this time I went I got some Prime Rib.  They didn't have it on the menu before when I went.  I was with the who family this time usually when I write and give you a price it's for two people.  There were five of us this time, all three kids came. My wife got the Ribeye and I was tempted to do the same but since I haven't had their Prime Rib yet I got that instead.
It was good not ...

I recently went to Old Stone SteakHouse in Belmont.  The best part of my meal was the appetizer and that was just some boneless wings.  The steak I ordered was a 14oz ribeye with it's so called "signature" butter on top was at best less than average.  Not to mention this was the smallest 14oz steak I have ever had.  I had a 10oz ribeye at the Hard Rock Cafe that was bigger than this.  No flavor except for the butter on top, it would have been very bland without it.  I didn't have time to ask ...

My lastest place of critique was the Capital Grille in Charlotte.  Let me suggest you bring a sweater because it was cold.  But when you go it may be alright since they will probably be warming it up inside since it's cooling down outside.
    Anyway on to the meat.  I ordered the ribeye called the Delmonico Steak a bone in ribeye cut.
They use a sweet vinigerette on the steak and seal the flavor in with a type of crushed, almost to a powder, mushrooms and sear the outside of it which locks in ...

I've been to Ruth's Chris Steak House in Baltimore MD and here in Charlotte and they've got their act together.
    Both places I ordered the Ribeye, and again everything was a la carte and can get pricey but the Ribeye was worth every penny.  They don't mind giving you a man size portion even if your a little guy.  I appreciate the swollen stomach when I go.  Just like Flemings Restaurant I have nothing bad to say about their Ribeye.  You can't go wrong with it, tender, juicy and hefty when i...

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 th...

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...

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...
