I've actually never been to a "good" steakhouse. I've been to many steakhouses, mind you.

I hear people gushing about all kinds of great steaks they've had at various restaurants. I just sit there nonplussed and silent. I believe the average person doesn't know good meat from the hole in their ass.

Edit. I think one of the big things was that I had no shortage of steak growing up. In some weird bipolar way, we did not have a lot of food and we did not have good food, but my father was obsessed with the idea that he was a big success and that meant steak on Sundays.

Our family could not afford the steak, and instead of doing it right, my cheap father would always cook 2 steaks for 5 people which we would then have to fight over.

And even though he was a terrible cook, and most of the stakes were done wrong, I learned by having to go back to the barbecue with my steaks over and again, how to cook them.

So I think I'm just completely bored with the idea that just going and getting a steak is a magic thing.... like you can just go get one at the store
