100 South's Porterhouse is awesome. They even have a 64 oz one. I really want to order one, but I am never hungry enough to eat 4 lbs of steak, even 100 South's.

Yay for steaks. Just had one at Outback Steakhouse today. Was barely able to finish up 15oz. But the best one I ever had in my life was in Madrid, in an slightly upscale restaurant (it was our anniversary). They specialize on steaks, and all famouse matadors eat out there. A well known place among the locals.

If you are ever down in Round Rock Texas (outside Austin) there is a great steakhouse along the expressway called SaltGrass. It is in the parkinglot of a Hilton IIRC. Never saw the name anywhere else, but it was kinda decorated like a Friday's. Not sure if it is a chain or not.

3rd best steak (and by far the cheapest) I ever had, after 100 South & Al Capones. It was like $15 for a 16 oz fillet, were 100 South is like $50 and Capones $45.

You don't put stuff on good steak. That gets you killed by the staff.

Yep, same here. It was the thirty some odd ounce Porterhouse at Michael Jordan's in NYC, and it was big enough to feed three people. Good stuff!

Well I'm trying to figure out what the yellowish-tinged crust is all about--did he just pan-sear it?? If so, why is the color yellowed and not a darker maroon/brown like I'm used to? I'm thinking he pan-seared it in olive oil and that's what the yellowish tinge is.

Yeah. If you get a good steak, it's a crime to do anything but use salt and pepper before your grill it.

And I know this, MAN!!! I'm just trying to figure out what HE did to it! Sometimes I baste my ribeyes in a marinade if I'm cooking them with Indian food but normally I just use a little red wine and grapeseed oil for panfrying the smaller cuts. Larger cuts are done in the oven.

yummy goodness!. I had the "Maudeen's Center Cut Filet" the frist night (asked for 16 oz) and Filet Mignon K Bob the 2nd. Both were super yummy. I think I am going to build a house in Texas if the steak is this good in a chain resturant. I would love to go to a good steakhouse in Texas.

Quick! I'll be goin back to Texas the week after next for buisness. Where's a great steakhouse around the Dallas area?! I don't care if it is $100 for a steak, i'll pay for damn good steak!

Damn you, I just ate a few hours ago and you've got me wanting steak now. :p
