Actually, I think only the Ruth's Chris in Orlando dry ages the meat. The others wet age the meat.

Someday, I will build myself an enormous meat locker so I can dry age steaks to my heart's content.

All I have to do is persuade my wife...

I'll have to go with Bob's Steak and Chophouse in Plano. Wonderful Steak. I had a good t-bone there a few weeks ago and an absolutely fantastic New York Strip steak there last year. Very tender & tasty. The funny thing is, the NY strip steak was the only one on the menu that wasn't prime. Go figure.


Bob's is the #2 rated steakhouse in America according to this.

That list has Spencer's but no Ruth's Chris. BOOOO. I have had both and Ruth's Chris is far better. Why am I obsessed with Ruth's Chris?

I have to 2nd SeattleUte ... the Metropolitan Grill in Seattle is fantastic. That said, I have found that all steak quality is regional, even chains. Outback here in Texas has much better steak than elsewhere (though it's still not great). Texas Land and Cattle and Saltgrass steakhouse are decent chains here in TX.

My list:

1. Metropolitan Grill
2. Bob's Steak and Chop House
3. Better chains (TLC, Saltgrass)
4. Home (sorry but you just can't get the aged, prime meat for home)
