The problem with the food industry is how to get an acceptable quality goods (good quality control with the quality control records to prove it) in the quantity needed (shipping and delivery on time - every time) to the people in need. There is nothing wrong with either type of meat.

Some people just are not in the market for the high priced stuff. But keep in mind there are far more hot dog sold than high priced steaks.

The last three T-bone steaks I have had were at a Waffle House. Not the best, and most tender; but, at about $12 it is a good meal. I have also had a T-Bone steak recently at The Savoy Grill in KC for about $44.00; with tip that is about 4 times the price. It is all meat. What makes one 4 times the price of the other?

Something must make it worth more!

I agree. Something must make it worth more indeed.

I prefer more expensive steaks this much is true.

I am an epicure, and thus I would rather go without a steak than to eat one that is not a quality cut of meat; delicious with flavors exploding inside my mouth.

If I were going to go to a place like Waffle House / IHOP / Denny's, I would most likely get a Denver omelet, extra crispy hashbrowns and two strips of bacon. I do not eat at places like this often as I do not really care for breakfast foods that much.

Yes, I am picky about what I eat, but picky in the way that the food choice has to be exactly what I want it to be for the restaurant I am dining.

I would love to take a mini-vacation to Atlanta so I can eat Chicken and Waffles (Midnight Train) at Gladys Knight & Ron's Chicken and Waffles. That chicken looks like something to die for lol.

However if I were going to Vegas, I would dine at Prime Steakhouse located inside the Bellagio hotel where I would be staying. There I would order the Bone-In Rib Eye (medium rare of course lol) and White Truffle Risotto.

I am actually a very well-rounded individual who gets along with any race, culture, social status and gender.

I can sit next to a homeless man at church who smells of urine, and the next night find myself mingling at a party with bigwigs whose cufflinks are worth more than my life lol.

It's All Good...

Salmon on the grill tonight

Yes, some meat is better than others, but Capital Grille can take an average piece of sirloin and make it taste better than a filet from Applebee's. So, I'd have to say how the meat is served is as important as its grade. Make sense?

I'm surprised by how many people on here just don't seem to get it.

As I read through some of these comments, I had to reconsider my position, or at least think about it.
Yes, a bone in ribeye can be a very tasty choice, by I prefer my bone in a filet any time. A filet is much more lean and tender, very juicy, and nothing tastes better. The memory of a great filet will stay in my mind forever, whereas I may forget about the bologna or hot dog in a couple of hours.

I guess you can find a hot dog while driving down many a street, but a great filet can be a rare find. Once I find one, I just want to keep going back for more and more.

Filet? Having a bone in a piece of meat is always better. The bone in adds flavor when it heats up.

Less fat is better; the closer the bone the better the meat.

Oh, I think most of us got the jist of your analogy but the comments is what made it an interesting read. All the threads lately have been rather 'deep' topics so it was nice to see humor thrown into the mix.

Of course there is something to be said about variety, Veal, filet mignon, ribeye. So many many variations set out in a buffet for your taking. Perhaps dedicating a meal a week to the filet and allowing the rest of your week to discover the various other flavors the world has to offer.


Obviously I very much understood what you were saying

I'm glad I wasn't the only person who didn't see his post as highly metaphorical.

Personally, I've given up processed deli meats, and ate so much bologna as a kid that I swore I'd never purchase it as an adult. There are certainly so many more varieties and cuts that one should have a lot of fun sampling before he gets back to bologna.

People eat Bologna?
