I’m the opposite. I’d much rather go to Cattleman’s than some boutique place that charges a fortune for an appetizer on an entirely too large plate and then drops a check that requires a credit line.I dont get the steakhouse thing either and I will throw down cash for the high end restaurant experience. But a steak, I have a freezer of grass fed, or can go to the store and it is literally a 6 minute cook (3 min per side, rare as God intended). I go to restaurants to get things that I have neither the patience, equipment or ability to make at home.
Give me the old school diner by the stockyards please.
