Twenty ounces of beef? You guys order that much beef? Do you eat it all,
or do you take it home for snacks the next few days?

Well, there's a pretty good bone in the T-bone, but no, none gets taken
home! Lot's of exercise!

I hardly ever order a steak at a restaurant. Once in a while, I'll order a
small prime rib, because prime rib is not something I cook at home. When
we eat out, I usually do not order what I cook.

When I lived in KC, back when the stockyards were still active, there were
at least a dozen restaurants in the downtown area where you could buy a
first-class steak dinner (12 ounce steak, baked spud, salad) for $2.50,
and the beef was prime. I "steaked out" my first year on the paper. There
was also a sort of diner place called "Nichols Restaurant" or maybe it was
"Nichols Lunch" where you could buy steak and eggs with toast for 99
cents.

Great hamburgers, too, at a place called Winsteds.

In my days in KC, the ballpark was downtown, within walking distance of
Bryants' Barbecue, considered the best barbecue in the world. Really.
Sometimes I'd get assigned to write a "crowd" story on a particular ball
game, an assignment I relished, because the pressbox copy boys would be
dispatched to Bryants to bring back all the barbecue they could carry.
There was always a keg in the press box.

Those were the days.


WayneB recently posted a pic of the traditional ICW stopover at Coinjock,
NC. The restaurant there offers a 32 oz prime rib that was absolutely
delicious. We stopped there a few years ago on the way to Florida and each
of us ordered the mega prime. We had leftovers for steak sandwiches for at
least half of the remaining trip.

Interesting place.
