This. And I'm only 25.

Yep. Lots of restaurants do this too. They go well together, whether the blue cheese is on the salad or steak or both.

sorry waggy... if your taste buds are going south i think something else is going on besides old age.

Either way. Blue cheese nicely compliments the flavor of beef. So some high end steak houses serve tenderloin stuffed with blue cheese or offer some crumbled cheese on the side. Or just eat the salad while you're eating the steak rather than before and trade bites back and forth between the two.

blasphemy. that shit ruins the steak. If you need that it's overcooked/not cooked correctly in the first place.

Salad ain't food...

It's what food eats!


Just wait...your tastes will change about every 5-7 years as you age.

Nowadays, I can't stand many of the foods that used to be my favorites. (and it sux!)

nope its just cheaper to buy it in bulk flash frozen then to buy it every week.


Bulk? Did he say bulk...bulk beef? How many steaks can you get out of an alternator-sized piece of beef?

Seems to me like it's a good thing if you enjoy the salad more than the steak. Salad is generally cheaper
