Texas Restaurant Now Named On 'Best Steakhouse' In America List

Texas is known as the beef state because everywhere you look there are numerous breeds of cattle grazing in pastures along road sides, and being loaded up onto semis or train cars en route to be processed into our favorite protein. My personal slab of choice is a ribeye, and if it is on the menu there's a 60% chance I order it every time.

We all know the price of beef has really taken off in the past few years to the point that many people have given up on considering it for at home dining, let alone attending a restaurant where the entire menu is known for featuring steaks. My personal take when it comes to to a steakhouse is they better make it better than I do at home, and being familiar with the wholesale price for beef, they better not try to mark it up beyond what I consider reasonable.
