A meal at Outback is not going to be as good as a meal at Baxter Street Station. By the way, they are both in the same price range. Sorry.


Is there an indie "steakhouse" in Louisville of the same price range as Outback? I'm curious. Although Baxter Station has fantastic food, it does not matter if it's in the same price range and this is a moot point.

I'm guessing Pat's is a little more expensive than Outback. . .

I think the problem here is that there's a fairly firm ratio between cost and quality for steaks. Ponderosa is cheap, but ...

If you got $30 to spend for dinner for your wife and 4 kids for a night out, Ponderosa isn't bad. I grew up eating in that and similar establishments for a simple reason - price.

I don't know if it matches dollar for dollar, but Palermo Viejo is an inexpensive and absolutely fantastic steakhouse. I would take their steaks over any other in town, and that includes Morton's, Ruth's Chris, et al. Part of my preference is because of the price point, but if the quality wasn't there, the price wouldn't matter.

I, for once, didn't really detect much aggression in Phil's post. It didn't seem to me that he was trying to "attack" anyone. Nimbus's post may have been a bit more diplomatic, but I think the message was still the same, and a valid point, in my opinion, too.

The award-winning bbq enthusiast gave his vituperative opinion of Steve's grilling method's and modems in an omniscient tone to the crowd.

A vituperative (also spelled vitoperative) is an alcoholic drink that is usually served to stimulate the appetite before a meal when joined by a gent named Vito.

Omniscient is a foul odor that can only come from one source.

In a sentence: "On my way out the door for a vituperative, I blamed the omniscient on my dog, Fido."

I will always give a tip of the o' hat to White Zinfandel.

If it wasn't for it's mass market appeal, many more Zinfandel vines would have been plowed under.

Thank you White Zin, you're a stand up guy!

Should I also be thanking Miller Lite for helping preserve those hop fields? I mean, you know, triple hopped and all. They might have been plowed under by now without all those hops going into Miller Lite.

Jeez.

I've always been a huge fan of Argentinean and Chilean rose's. They're a great deal, and they pair well with a variety of dishes, including the aforementioned turkey sandwich. :wink:
