How Much Does a Good Restaurant Steak Cost Where You Live?

[ulmont]

I dunno.  Like $15-$25 I guess.

$45 for a steak?  Jesus.

You might need to redefine "Good."  Longhorn, sure, $15-$25.  "Good"?  No.  Some places, you can more or less pay as much as you want (I've been to one steakhouse in Chicago where the Waygu steaks went into 3 digits, and I'm sure NYC has more expensive stuff).

So, I'll be alright going there, just so long as it isn't in a group, say like a battalion. 

Yeah, just don't ride your bike anywhere on the street.  You will not survive their driving.

I'm pretty sure if you're eating Wagyu in the US, it's fake.

[PDH]

Sad thing is that Laramie, in the middle of the High Plains, has no real steak house.

[ulmont]

Wagyu in the US is a Wagyu-Angus cross.  It's actual Kobe you can't get.

A filet at Harry Caray's costs $45 IIRC.

I was pretty cruel the one day that I said I wanted to go get a steak and a colleague from NJ suggested Outback.

If only there were a website where you could verify that.  We could host it at the following url:

Don't go there often, but if going out for steak here in town it would be @ Simon and Seaforts

Well if you like to waste your money, be my fucking guest.

I dunno.  It's cow meat.  It's fine.  I'll concede I'm a bad person to ask about "good" food.  I did have an inkling that the food snobs of Languish probably did not mean chain restaurant steaks.

A good steak can't be had here for any price.

At least I haven't found one yet.

Koreans are uniquely bad at western food, I've had great western food in Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines, but at best you'll be able to find something that only rates good here. They just feel compelled to Koreanize it.

Near Bragança, the typical posta mirandesa would be around 10 euros. Add a couple euros for wine, coffee and brandy.

It's the same in China, but I live in a large enough city to have restaurants owned and/or run by western staff.

To get a good steak here may be around $30 USD.  At least there's no taxes on top of it, though western joints tend to charge a "service charge" of around 10% (unlike most Chinese places that never require tips).
