    @nolaegghead I have a standing rule that I can only spend three days in NOLA. Any more and I'm pretty sure I'd self destruct.

    The trip can be equal to or less (=<) than three days, but I think the threshold of debauchery can vary between several hours to a week or more.  My scientific observations conclude it can be managed. ;)

    If you are still looking for ideas, I always recommend a standing rib roast/prime rib roast over beef tenderloin. Much more flavor, imo.  Very easy to do, bones separated and charred for shock factor, tender, fat infused buttery meat for the meal, and a good blend of med-well on the edges to med-rare in the middle, if you have guests with different temp preferences.  Pairs really well with roasted potatoes topped with garlic and drizzled with a little meat gravy.  You can even add a nice, strong cheese to the top of them.  Add a salad and a nice green vegetable side and you have a top notch meal that is sure to impress.

    I agree, over tenderloin, the standing rib roast is more of a treat.   I was responding to a question by the OP on how cook a tenderloin.  It's all subjective, obviously, so the more options the better, I would think.

    Another vote for short ribs with a mustard sugar glaze. The are easy, really show off the egg and relatively unusual. I did them for a party of 8 last year (all pretty sophisticated eaters) and got raves. And they'll set you back about $40.
