Did the Ye Olde Steakhouse thing today. I didn't want to bring anyone down, so I pretended to like my strip steak, but it was actually pretty unimpressive. Honestly, the only thing that lived up to my expectations was the bill, which I thankfully didn't have to pay.
However, for some reason I wasn't at all hungry, which probably impacted my opinion. I ate a small breakfast at 10 am and still felt full at the restaurant. I ended up bringing almost the entire thing home. Maybe I'll like it more tomorrow (or at 3 am when my body realizes how little its had to eat in the last 24 hours).
Oh, and naturally I only got the 12 oz. My wife seemed to genuinely like hers.
Another problem was that I ordered the steak 'medium' and got 'medium-rare' instead. Since I really wasn't planning to eat much of it anyway, I figured I could fix this at home when I got hungry. Medium-rare always arrives at the table at just slightly above room temperature, which I don't care for. The problem is, if I order a steak medium-well, it always arrives 'well done' and looking like they tried to turn it into charcoal, which I also don't like.
