Back before my old boss retired, we'd always stop by either Longhorn or Outback when we would travel to the plant. I don't think I've stopped there in 6 years now. Least steak I got at Outback looked like one of those "pieced together" ones.

Bob's on Lemmon is still the hands down best place for my money. Damn I could eat just the carrot (no ghey) and nothing else and die a happy man.

haha, you mean meat glue?
Back when we could have work dinners, we’d go to the Bob’s in Plano pretty regularly. The carrot is legit.
Yeah, that shit. It didn't look appetizing

For a chain, Texas Roadhouse is good. I'm not going there thinking I'm at a good local steak joint. Longhorn was terrible the couple times I've been to one. I haven't eaten a steak at outback since I was in college. Isn't Mortons kind of a nicer chain? I've never been. Not familiar with any of the others I don't think.

The only reason to go to Applebee's is to get thrown out or to drink your sorrows away when your son comes out of the closet.

For some reason, I always picture Urban Meyer eating at Applebee's, hoping someone will recognize him.

I could totally see that. He certainly has an Uncle Rico "living in the past" vibe to him.For some reason, I always picture Urban Meyer eating at Applebee's, hoping someone will recognize him.

That explains why the parking lot is always full of cars with bumper stickers that say something about their kid being in the high school marching band.

I used to end up at Smith and Wollensky a lot for the sake of convenience during the decade that I lived on the Upper East Side. The lunchtime burger was the real hidden gem there though.

ooh, was it a mesquite grilled burger? Steakhouses usually have those and no one thinks to order them. Got a place in Dallas that does those as a lunch special and they are pretty damn good.
