Ruth's Chris - no longer dry aging

    A wet aged steak will appeal to a broader palate than a dry. 
    That is a fact. Most people grow up eating only what’s in the local store and develop a taste for it.

    On that same note some beef is actually better (in my humble opinion) wet aged. The more fatty cuts are better dry aged. The leaner cuts are better wet aged. Just my thoughts and preferences.

    Changed my mind, no need for inflammatory rhetoric.  It was funny, but I am still on probation.
    Nonsense brother Ozzie. By all means, let it rip 👍

    Ruth's chris is all about the experience and the sides. No one with a green egg should be going out to eat a great steak. Order one from SRF, Lobels, or Pat LaFrieda.  Spend $250 on a steak and cook it yourself and you can feed 4+ people on a meal that would cost $1000 to eat out. 
    I am with you 100 percent!  I have had steak dinners at some of the best steakhouses in the country, many of them expensed, and am often disappointed.  Like someone else said, though, the sides usually are fantastic.  The one exception for me is Cattleman’s in Oklahoma City.  That place is a magic, and unforgettable, but maybe that’s because it’s in my hometown.

    Btw, you guys should give the Gibson’s Steakhouse seasoning a try.  I inquired about their seasoning the last time I was in Chicago and discovered it was available on Amazon.  Use it all the time on steaks, chops and salmon.  https://www.amazon.com/Gibsons-Steakhouse-Seasoning-Salt/dp/B07Y8WDX1S
    Glad you reminded me!  Totally forgot I had this:

    The good news, I guess, is if you’ve had a steak at RC since 2002, it will be the same today.
    It also proves that good is good no matter how you get there. Some folks have been eating those wet aged steaks for almost 10 years and didn’t know the difference. 
    @SGH, ok here was my response to your above comment:

     The flavor of prime beef cooked at high heat without any smoke flavor is really excellent, too. 

    I get a lot of weird looks when I say that broiling is one my favorite ways to cook a steak for exactly this reason.

    Broiling is upside down grilling.

    Not quite.  Broiling is also grilling without most (not all) of the burning fat drippings flavoring the meat.  
    This may be another candidate side-by-side taste test.

    Grilling is broiling on a grill.  So technically grilling is upside down broiling.


    Thankfully, 4 out of 5 anthropologists agree that grilling predates broiling, so broiling must be defined as a variant of grilling, rather than grilling a type of broiling.

    Broiling is top down. So grilling cannot be broiling on a grill. It can be upside down broiling on a grill, however.

    Talking heat source here.

    I’m guessing you aren’t actually a PhD candidate. 

    Just a hunch though

    So broiling is heat from top. Grilling is heat from bottom.
    If the heat source is from the side (think doner kebab or shawarma cooker) what is that called? Grilling? Broiling? Toasting? Or...?
