Many moons ago, as an expense account guest of a man I did a lot of business with, we'd hie over to Ruth Chris Steakhouse and launch into steak nirvana. They don't make a drug as good as a great aged steak and this place provided that bliss!!

The staff would provide almost blanket size linens to cover us with to keep the steaks from spattering us as they brought out the steaks out still sizzling...oh man, I think I'm gonna cry...those days are long over...

Now, as for me and Longhorn Steak House. I will never eat there again! (nor did I the first time)
The wife and I visited one in south Houston (now closed) several years ago. The wife ordered a steak med-rare. After several minutes the server came back to tell us the they were out of "med-rare". Puzzled, I ask him if they were pre-cooked and ask how they could possibly be out of med-rare and not medium (mine)?
He told me they just are. I thru 5 bucks on the table for the drinks and left.

My wife has high standards for steaks. She blew up a steak house in El Paso over their poor steaks and how I cooked a better steak over an open campfire at the Grand Canyon.
I realize this was probably a stupid occurrence, maybe an employee playing a prank on a newbie, but wasn't funny on our end.

Thanks for the review.

If it's high quality great, but if on par with "The Outback Steakhouse" I'll pass as bland old shoe leather is hard to chew...

Thanks!
