Be warned - Jim's are smaller steaks, about 8 inches, and are typically higher priced than most places else. We always talk about CPM here (at least the mileage runners do), well the CPI (cost per inch) at Jim's is just too high for me.

$7 for 8 inches = $.875/inch...unacceptable.

My favorite steak (from Del's of course) has a great CPI of $0.4375/inch. Makes my mouth water just thinking about those bad boys!
