Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 By the way, I think this needs to be said. Putting butter on your steak is cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricojes Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Fwiw, I've been to a few places that have been on Man vs Food and they are usually terrible. Just because they are places that serve humongous servings doesn't make them good. For example, The Silo has "The Haystack" and it's absolutely crap compared to good steak subs in the area. This one is apparently pretty good, but they have other steaks as well. Like I said, i haven't been there, just going by a friends review. I think it closed for a bit and then re-opened under new ownership, at least it was open this summer. And damn about the haystack, I wanted to try that!

plenzmd1 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Also, just thought i would post this. We have been eating a lot of Flat Iron steak at home when we have red meat. It is usually $6.99 a pound at the Kroger. Do an hour marinated in Olive Oil, Fresh Rosemary, Fresh Garlic, mustard powder, salt and pepper. Grill directly over a mesquite chip pack, slice across the grain...wow is it ever tender and extremely flavorful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) I never have a problem paying top dollar if the food and service are on par with the price. I have heard nothing but good things regarding both at Russell's. I was up in Detroit and went to a place recommended by a customer. Andiamo's maybe, but I enjoyed a nice 20 oz steak, w/sides and "soda" for under $30. Edited November 10, 2014 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordio Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The chopped sirloin at Ponderosa never fails to disappoint. Just kidding. Chophouse is overrated. Have went there 4 times now & I think it sucks. EB Greens is good but for a steakhouse around here my money goes on either Russells or Kennedy's Cove on main street in Clarence. I could make a steak better then any of those places though & for a fraction of the price. That is why I rarely go out to tghose places unless it is a special occassion.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 I wouldn't consider it a "steak house" but I have seen them serve pretty straight up monster steaks. They do a porterhouse with bone marrow and confit potatoes for two, where the steak is so huge that it comes out on this huge cutting board. But I think they are more known for their creative gastro-pub fare, like their mussels and quirky sandwiches and flatbreads. I would still recommend it-- but not as a pure steakhouse. perfect Unfortunately my favorite ever steak place is now closed. It was Lucia's in Olean and their porterhouse would come out hanging over the edges of the plate. Perfectly cooked and the best butter sauce I've ever had topping it. Damn I miss that place. that sux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality of the meat is the most important part of a good steak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 butter poach their steaks You're going to Hell. Sweet baby Jesus that sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 You're going to Hell. Sweet baby Jesus that sounds good. If anyone wants to try the best (IMO) butter poached steak, check out Michael Mina's Bourbon Steak restaurant. There are a couple in CA, one in Florida, one in Phoenix, and one in DC. I ate at the one in DC...have a buddy who is friends with Michael. Incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you get your Steaks? The quality of the meat is the most important part of a good steak. I either usually go to Wegman's & get it right from there Butcher Block. Also Dash's on Main Street have very good cuts of meat. They usually also have bone in ribeyes which wegmans usually does not have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not Jackie Jocko... Jackie is great so is service, the steak just sucked, I could have gotten the same thing any old place. The first time I went there the steak so good that every bite tasted like the first and the flavor never faded as you chewed it and definitely was my best ever. I either usually go to Wegman's & get it right from there Butcher Block. Also Dash's on Main Street have very good cuts of meat.
