After church today I decided to call in a takeout order at Logan's Roadhouse. It's just me this week, so I figured I could splurge and have leftovers for several meals.

I told the girl who answered the phone that I wanted a prime rib. She said all they have is a full rack or a half rack. :screw:

She didn't have a clue that she was talking apples and I was talking oranges. Poor girl.

I ordered a big rib eye with sides. I should get two steak meals and a steak sandwich out of it this week.

One time back in the mid 70's, a bunch of us were partying at a friend's house. Someone said they were hungry. Someone else said they wished they could eat a lobster. All of a sudden, everyone was like, "Yeah", Lobs! So we called in a take out order to Red Lobster restaurant and ordered 10 Lobs to go. The bill was over $100. Back then, that was big money.

That sounds WONDERFUL! (And like what we used to call the munchies in our high state)

Prime rib is a Saturday night special at a local dive, but it only lasts me for three meals.

I quit going to Logans years ago. Hardly anyone in the parking lot at Logans which is 25 miles away. The last time I ate there I ordered cream of broccoli soup. It was cold and gooey, fresh out of the can. Never again. I mostly stay home and cook - I get what I want and no one to blame but myself if it tastes lousy. I learned how to make the perfect prime rib and never been unhappy with them.

Well, never forget the hiring rules for most companies...

So, how was her rack?
Might explain a few things.

Q: you are a male hiring manager. You have a position to fill. You have four candidates. Two are men with both the right degree and good experience. One is a woman with the exact college degree you want, but no relevant experience. The other woman has really good experience of the type you want, but no degree. Whom do you hire?

A: the woman with the better rack.

Q: you are a female hiring manager. You have a position to fill. You have four candidates. Two are men with both the right degree and good experience. One is a woman with the exact college degree you want, but no relevant experience. The other woman has really good experience of the type you want, but no degree. Whom do you hire?

A: whichever of the women you would most want to be friends with, unless one of the guys is really, really hawt, in which case you might hire him instead.

Does anyone here have one of those steak houses around where if you can eat their entire “old 96er” 96 ounce steak, it’s free?

Years ago they used to have one near where we lived. You got a T shirt or a hat and your picture on the wall of fame next to the other “ old 96ers”!

I have twice purchased what was labeled rib eye at local stores and it was tough as shoe leather. I suspect inferior quality cuts are being mislabeled and sold at a higher price.

Rib eye is a cut of meat. It could be select, choice or prime, depending on the marbling. A select rib eye will be very tough and is only good for hamburger. I add bacon when I grind my hamburger for extra fat and flavor. Choice, and of course prime, is better for steaks. Some cuts labeled choice could be borderline choice. Marbling is the key thing to look [for].

But if a store was selling obviously select meat as choice, I would be having a conversation with the meat dept. manager about labeling laws.

I think the poster said it was labeled ribeye. Probably no grade label on it. Around here no grade label automatically means select. Pretty tough stuff but it can be made good with the right cooking method. Instant Pot works well.

Meat Glue, also known as Transglutaminase or Thrombin has been used by restaurants and the meat industry for years to deceive consumers into believing they are getting a premium, solid piece of meat but in fact they are purchasing meat scraps that have been enzymatically bound or "glued" together to resemble a whole steak. Some of these reconstituted cuts are so perfectly put together that it is even difficult for expert butchers to tell the difference between it and a premium cut.

Back to the actual beef... chuck eye is a lot cheaper, if you're going to cook it yourself, and just as delicious. However, the previous conversations were pretty hilarious

Went to a catered business dinner years ago. Bossman said the choices would be prime rib or chicken.

He made the caterer do the prime rib WELL DONE. (his preference)

MOST of the busted knuckle-crowd were ready to choke him.

We had a catered meal for the employees this summer with prime rib. I was tempted to tell the caterer to cook it well done as I knew a lot of the women here would not like it red. I talked to the caterer and he said that he cooks it normal, but if anyone wanted their piece cooked more, he had a grill going right beside him and would throw it on the grill for a few minutes. That worked out well for the people who didn't like it "normal".

Sounds like a great way to keep everyone happy. Now that's rare. :)

In an eat out career that has spanned many years and states, not long ago we had the worst meal ever from a Red Lobster. And we are fairly forgiving and not picky.

I tend toward chicken myself. That or fish, but I can sympathize.

I was going to say something about bare floors being more common than carpet nowadays.

Supposedly it's more than making up for increased catting-around in reducing the frequency of certain geographically-targeted metazoan freeriders. Still would seem a bit pedoish to me.
