Delmonico's ... Is The Best Steak House!

[In_The_Wind]

everything was perfect ...

[ohiosmith]

1. Where?

[In_The_Wind]

4. Independence, Ohio!

[johnnie]

7. Is it in the Valley?

I'll have to check it out.

[In_The_Wind]

13. Yes, it is very near the Cuyanoga Valley National Park.

The staff was wonderful!

5 different people ask if everything was alright and if I needed anything else.

perfect ...

2. I'll take your word for it.

6. When it comes to Philadelphia style cooked steak ...

I am a cynosure ...

You Can Trust Me on the best places to eat beef ...

[Wapsie B]

8. What is Philly style cooked steak?

I know of the cheesesteak sandwhiches but other than that :shrug:

[In_The_Wind]

10. The steak is seared quickly on a very hot grill !

The center of a thick cut of beef will still be cool after it has been cooked.

The texture of the meat changes as it cooks ...

extremely rare is the most tender way to eat beef.

3. Hmmmm, that sounds familiar to me.

Maybe I am thinking about a delmonico steak? :shrug:

[In_The_Wind]

9. That's what I was thinkin' too ... Lilyhoney

AND ... it was very good!

5. Luke's, Wheat Ridge CO

the greatest.

[In_The_Wind]

I haven't made it that far west ...

yet ...

[leftofthedial]

27. when you do, it's right off I-70.

Easy to get to, unpretentious, comfy and outstanding.

best salad on earth and then steaks that are better than that.

11. I thought Delmonico's was in New York City.

I've always wanted to eat there. Beef aged 21 days. :9

[In_The_Wind]

15. maybe it's owned by the same family ...

my delmonico steak was 14 oz of aged prime beef ...

covered in Blackened Seasonings and smothered in Gorgonzola Cheese ...


Yummy

[GOPisEvil]

16. Oh yum!!!!

I ate at John Elway's steak house in Denver last weekend. Very tasty, but not Delmonico's.

I want their (Delmonico's) steak au poivre. :9

21. I'll make that trip soon. Maybe the spring.

:D

[In_The_Wind]

25. that's one more thing for us to discuss while we're in DC ...

by Springtime - I'll even be willing to go to back into NYC to see something besides the snow-covered mountains of home

[GOPisEvil]

29. We gotta talk to bettyellen!

She's been on me to come to see NYC. I don't wanna go in winter. I'll stay here where it's relatively warm. :)

But I hear springtime in New York is lovely! (I can save some pennies, too.)

[In_The_Wind]

30. sounds like a plan ...

or sleep on my couch ...

All of my house mates would love to meet you!

[GOPisEvil]

31. Yay!

I'm already getting excited!

[In_The_Wind]

32. remember ...

the jacuzzi ...

aged single malt scotch ...

and my house mates would never handcuff you ...

or put your hand into warm water while you're sleepin'

[GOPisEvil]

33. You make a strong case.

:think:

[In_The_Wind]

34. ah ... yes

great golf courses ...

low greens fees ...

[GOPisEvil]

35. Game. Set. Match.

:rofl:

[sir_captain]

12. I'll stick with Peter Luger's

generally considered the best steak house in the world, and I can't really disagree. And I don't even think it's as good as it used to be.

[In_The_Wind]

14. I've eaten in Peter Luger's several times.

It was many years ago but when it comes to a great steak ... I don't forget.

supper tonight was better

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. Old Homestead and Del Friscos for me!

Mmmmm..........

But I've never had Delmonicos, so I can't compare. I trust your judgment, though!

Smith and Wollensky - crap
Gallaghers - crap

I haven't done Peter Lugers, either. I really wish I had.

[In_The_Wind]

18. where is Old Homestead and Del Friscos

I'm not one to pass up a great steak ...

if it's within a day's drive from home ...

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. Old Homestead is down in the old meat district -

14th and 9th.

Del Friscos is a chain, but even so, it's FUCKING good steak. After I discovered Del Friscos - which also had a cigar bar, before NYC's law changed - that was it for me. That was our usual haunt once every week or two for dinner, cigars, lots of drinks, and massive ranting.

Del Friscos is at 6th Avenue and 49th.

Humorous aside, after 9-11, my company bought a new building, and after we moved in I could look down on del Friscos from my first office there. :-) Of course, my friends and I started hanging out there more after that.

Oh, and another humorous aside - as you can see in the image on that webpage, since that's the NYC Del Friscos, the cigar bar, where we ranted, also looked out on the FOX News Ticker which we could se perfectly, so there was lots of ranting from that. As well as the TV in the cigar room set to FOX News (no audio, though).

I really miss it - their steak is the best I've ever had, and consistently excellent, too - the staff are fucking incredible, the mashed potatoes are glorious, the onion rings are to die for...it's just damned good eating.

[In_The_Wind]

22. rich and inviting

The area where the Old Homestead is located wasn't a place for a single woman to go for supper back when I lived in the NYC area. Which explains why I missed it.

Del Friscos opened after I left the big city. Pity.

BTW ... the links are awesome, thanks Rabrrrrrr.

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. You're welcome!

They're both great places.

26. Bern's in Tampa, FL

Everything is done in house. Plus the wine list is one of the best in the world.
