Well, some of the steaks you eat at the fancy restaurants are aged a couple of months before they make it to your plate...

Meh, eat their once. I'd rather have a McDonald's Cheeseburger then that garbage they called steak. I say good riddance.

It's a California steak house. In other words, nothing of value was lost.

They made bad business decisions and "could not attract 21st century diners." Sounds like they deserve a bailout.

Very few are properly dry aged for six weeks or more, I guess because it's too expensive to store and hang it all. Took Mr. Co-Pirate to Peter Luger's for our fifth anniversary and the steak was a total revelation.

I agree. I age my own and found that it's a least 35 days to make a difference. Most places I've seen offer a 21 day aged sirloin.

I just recently had a dry aged steak from some place called Uncle Jack's in Manhattan. it was extremely good, better than any steak I've ever had. Especially good since it's the first time I had beef in about a year.

In its heyday, the old-school establishment was known for its classic steakhouse dishes - steak Diane, French onion soup, jumbo shrimp and a 27 oz. Delmonico steak.

I love that old school steakhouse shiat. When is someone going to cash in on this as some type of authentic retro thing. We've already got foodies stuffing their faces with offal because it's "more authentic." Surely we can market this with martinis.

Ahh aged steaks... using natural decomposition to make the steak taste oh so nice... Amazing what a little rotting will do for the steak, taste-wise...

Love me some aged steak.

Bittersweet. Wasn't the best steak ever, but my ex and I used to have our anniversaries there when we still loved each other.

Sorry guys, we're waiting for the wealth to "trickle down" so we can go out to eat as much as we used to.

I'm no foodie, I'm just Chinese, but offal is usually the best parts of the animal. If you can only bring yourself to eat muscle meat, you are missing out.

Reminds me of Edward's steakhouse that closed down too.

Clearman's your next. Who wants sit in a dingy place with old ornate decorations with sawdust on the floor anymore? This isn't Kansas City.

Actually, you have them in the order that I like them. Still, they are chains and I like local eateries.

I'd say it's sometimes the best parts of the animal. I've had some good tripe (and some bad tripe) and everyone likes sausage, but for me fatty muscle meat on the bone like pork chops or fish cheeks is preferred.

Well, yeah, but having good versions of the food and bad versions of a food comes with the territory of eating food. However, as far as flavor goes, a well-prepared offal dish will usually have much more flavor than the fatty muscle meat.

I don't know. According to the penchant of some farkers at this site, they'd eat anything as long as it's over 60 and has some connection to sex appeal (in the past).

Old does not equal good. What typically happens is a decline in quality. They also left their prime spot on the PCH. I have seen many places move and lose their customers.
