As for the posters who mentioned they won't go to a steakhouse because they can do it better at home, that is kind of a surprise to me. We can do most things better but it is hard or nearly impossible for us to find the best cuts where we live, plus we just don't have the equipment to do it properly. We can do wonders on our Weber grill, but simply can't duplicate what we can get commercially, steak-wise.
I'm going to have to disagree with you there. I live in Durham, North Carolina which is not a known steak area, or a haute cuisine area. Yet I can go to my local Whole Foods, get an excellent grass fed strip or ribeye, marinate it just the way I want, then cook it on the Weber. Not only that, but I can sit outside in the fading light with my Father and sip beers of our choice which don't cost us $9 a bottle. We don't have to dress up and we can take our time. I think that meat will taste as good or better than most other ones I can find.
