A good steak

[CardiffBaseball]

Since we seem to have enough upper middle class folks around here, I wanted to get some opinions about where to get a good steak in town. If there are off the beaten path places or stick to the tried and true.

Now, I have to admit I am perfectly fine enjoying a nice steak at a place like Outback, or even Hunter’s up in Oceanside. I am not really that picky. Lately I’ve thought about occasionally taking one of the kids for a special night out to something like Ruth’s Chris. When it comes down to it though I am too cheap considering I like the common-man establishments. I do recall going to an upper end (local?) steak house in Portland Or. when there on a business trip. It was a nice steak, but I didn’t feel like I was eating something $50 better.

That said I pay a little more for Tri-tip from seaside market which we have at least once a month or so. Better than any of these chain steak restaurants.

Anyway curious where Piggs go to get their fix…

I used to go out for good steaks till I realized I can do it just as well myself, Cecils or Iowa Meat Farms are a good source. When I want I nice meal out I’d try Cavaillon in 4S Ranch or Better Half in hillcrest.

I have been to Donovans twice and am pretty impressed. Made Outback look fairly unexciting. I can cook steak as well as Outback. Better, if I buy prime meat. My dad is 80 and loves steak. He’s eaten his fair share and then some. He said the T-bone at Donovans was the best he has ever had. I have to agree. Strangely, the carrots there are remarkable and the atmosphere nice but not stuffy. The filet was a bit flavorless. Go for flavor, not tenderness and you’ll rejoice. Don’t bother with the seafood. Better scallops at costco.

Never been to Ruth’s Chris. I suspect they are similar.

Theres a place in Tijuana called El Taurino. You can get a steak the length of your forearm for $10 (probably $15 now), including a margarita. It’s on 6th, I think, 2 blocks west of Revolution. Out of the way. Las Carnes in TJ is good, too.

Ask CDMA ENG. He know when it comes to food, I don’t mess around.

Rustico – I have a small framing project. You know any individual framers that could come put up some walls for me, per permitted plans? I’m looking for a good single framer (or a team of 2) that are short on work but also good and experienced. Looking for solid, not remarkable. Probably 3-5 days of work. If so, send to sdduuude a-t yahoo.com.

That argentinian place is nice, also.

The thing about steak is, a hole-in-the-wall isn’t going to spring for prime meat because it will put the cost out of the price range of their menu. So I think it is next to impossible to find a truly great steak anywhere but a high-end restaurant or buy prime and cook it at home.
