The Rat Trap

[QUOTE=Camera3;2491554]Who would have thought this would be a tread -- talking about steaks and restaurants.

I do miss Barney's. That was some cut with a fork steak. But my favorite steak of all time, and it was from a chain, go figure, was the Kensington Club at Steak and Ale.

That 3-cheese potato sounds tempting. I guess I have to go fight the crowd at Universal to try that out.

Between you and me, I really do not go to Ruth's Chris unless the client insists. You are right on Morton's. I go there all over the country plus the others in that chain.

Vito's Chop House on I-Drive has some awesome steaks. I worked there many, many moons ago as a server. Every single night I heard two-three diners say it was the best steak that they ever had. Their bone-in Ribeye is incredible. They are expensive but not quite as high as some of the other restaurants that have been mentioned.

Bring in your own bottle of wine and you only have to pay a small corkage fee.

They are way better than Ruth's Chris Steak House. You can take that to the bank.

Another superb option is Vines on Restaurant Row. The steaks (Japanese Kobi beef) are incredible and so is the talent of women in their bar. Bring your wallet and bring it heavy because their per person check average is nearly two hundred bucks. Yeah, no shit. The amazing wine list is what drives up that per person check average. You can go there during Happy Hour and get half price drinks and half price bar appetizers. That does makes it quite affordable if you're not doing a full dinner. The parking lot is full of Bentleys, Ferrari's, Jags, etc. A Mercedes parked there is considered a poor person's vehicle.

I go by the Sentinel's suggestions and runner up for steaks was Stefano's Grill, this is a mom and pop and has the best steaks I have ever had. Very under the radar but they win awards left and right because its amazing food. Scratch Kitchen says everything about a place in my eyes.

[QUOTE=JustAGuy5;2491265]On the topic of steak houses, because I love them. Ruth's Chris is one of my least favorite. Each time I've had a negative experience.

For a chain steak house in Orlando, I'd recommend The Palm. Yes it's in the touristy hard rock hotel but drinks, steak & service have always been on point. Their 3-cheese potatoes are to die for! You can also go down to the bar in the hard rock after for some drinks and sometimes live music.

Second from The Palm on the topic of chains, I'd recommend Morton's. Especially if you love onion bread, their bread is awesome!

For the best steak I've had in Orlando, visit Christner's (used to be Del Frisco's).

If you're looking for a little more unique cuisine outside of the typical steakhouse offerings, check out Bull & Bear at the Waldorf Astoria.

Outside of steakhouses, my new favorite restaurant is hands down Highball & Harvest at The Ritz. Especially if you love all varieties of whiskey, this is your place to go!

Now I'm hungry![/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Swaganna;2488222]Once upon a time a sweet granny was taking her best friend to work, surprisingly they noticed a news van parked across the street and they had a crime scene van as their company right next to them. Grandma swag and Queen beotch thought something must have happened. Shortly after Queen Beotch noticed a nerdy AA come out of van and to her surprise walked right to her place of employment where he tried to spark a conversation and was really Interested in knowing if she liked to party. Can we say stuck on stupid. Seriously the corruption is getting old.

Swag out.[/QUOTE]Savanna who was that dirty nasty meth mouth beitch that I saw in your parking lot yesterday trying to pretend to be your friend. Who was that?

By the way I had a fun time with you yesterday in Daytona! But that meth ho was sickening!!

[QUOTE=AncientOne;2491365]YragYrag your incredibly brilliant posts including posters of the losers we love to hate. Grandma Swags and Sissy Chrissy. Have gotten under their skin! Keep it up even if it means you will soon displace me as # 1 on Sissy Chrissy list of mongers he hates most![/QUOTE]Hey AncientAss, where you been pussy? I am seriously beginning to think that you are GAY as well. You constantly suck GAY MIDGET balls like he is your hero. LOL. You are still my number one beitch asshole! I like to think of you, GAY MIDGET, pimp bishop and Just Jenna as a bed bug that no matter how many times they are squashed they just keep coming back! CTFU! Savanna is a female AND has more brains and intelligence than you clowns! PORKY aka Just Jenna is among the worst of the worst. My job will not be complete until I warn every monger in Orlando about her FAT ignorant ass! She is pure scum! Just like all of you.

Checkmate.

Is on my grill at home. Secret marinade to add a touch of smoke and a seasoning to die for. Did I mention I cut straight from the loin to the grill? Can't get any fresher than that. Cooked to a perfect medium rare topped with sautéed red onions and mushrooms in a garlic butter sauce. It's like having a dream with dahlia but for your palate. It's damn good.

Most every chain has frozen steaks at some point. Just sayin. Peace out. That would be fun a bbq with some choice fine ladies of this board. Hmmmm have to think about this one.

Best I've ever had is at Berns in Tampa. They are ranked top 10 in a great deal of food shows and publications. The dessert room is also amazing.

And a huge ass wine cellar. Best steak tartar I have ever had.

I wonder if the gentleman from Crime Hills will drive his Yugo to Daytona to pick up the lady and drive to Tampa for that world class steak? Round trip is about seven hours in the car. I hope the AC works.

Morton's have been my go to place for steak and a nice red wine. I also agree with the gentleman who mentioned Vine's as a very nice spot. Great food and drinks to go along with a very good live band. I always bring out my luxury vehicle from the garage whenever I go there.

Enjoy this. It says it all.

'K' Restaurant in College Park, kick ass dining. I dine here regularly. I've also indulged in their Beef Cheek, Elk and Duck all top notch.

Though be warned the filet is $38 bones, so bring your coin, though still alot cheaper than my beloved Wagyu.
