Rumack: What was it we had for dinner tonight?
Elaine Dickinson: Well, we had a choice of steak or fish.
Rumack: Yes, yes, I remember, I had lasagna.

Pick one of the other two that your wife does not pick.

Then the two of you can share and enjoy two different tastes.

How long have you been married?

You order the same thing. That way if it sucks, she's as miserable as you. If it's good, you eat both of them.

You're welcome. :D

Stop at BW-3s before you go. Eat there, and just spend all night at the party drinking free booze.

Give your wife yours so she has four. Get her drunk, then take advantage of her.

I have a choice of dinners at my wife's year end party. Help me out.

Who is doing the cooking? The chicken might be the safe choice.

Take advantage of my wife? Are you kidding me? The last time that happened we ended up with kid #2. :eek:

Klang- The hotel is doing the cooking, Renaissance Houston Hotel. I expect a half dollar sized portion of steak.

The Renaissance you say? Goode Co. BBQ's right up the street :D

Steak is always best, but filet mignon is a woman's cut. No go there.

Fish is a good choice, but grouper is overfished and may not be sustainable. Every year, we divers see fewer and fewer of the big guys out there, and it is quite sad. No to grouper.

That leaves stuffed chicken breast. Definately a safe choice, as long is it is cooked well and doesn't carry any salmonella. :D

Chicken. See how easy that decision was? :cool:

We see it in the grocery store here occasionally.

Kemah markets, where you can find any overfished species your heart desires, snapper, grouper, etc.

mmm, ceviche de dorado y corvina.

All the sadder.

Don't really know why anyone would want to eat them anyways...they live long lives near shore on reefs, and are loaded with mercury and who knows what else. There are plenty of safer and more sustainable seafood out there.

We do good on grouper hear in Texas. I'm sure the grouper they are serving has already been caught! In fact the new state record warsaw was caught this past October. Just a tad over 300#

I've been seeing it at our new HEB. About every other week or so. Supposedly fresh even.

Yep...and they will keep on catching 'em as long as people keep eating 'em....or until they disappear.

Warsaws are a bit of a different story. They are fairly sheltered because of how damn hard they are to catch...especially with a speargun! :eek:

The one being served up to you at a restaurant is not likely a Warsaw. Much more likely to be a Black or Goliath. Divers in Fla. used to have a hard time finning for 10 ft without bumping into a 200# goliath. Now, they are almost nowhere to be found down there.

I am all for seafood, and I fish any chance I have. But there are some species out there that are used very irresponsibly. Groupers generally fall into that catagory.

Still have to be carefull to read the signs to see if it's fresh or not. A lot of times they're not. Central Market has a great selection of fresh stuff. Just not real convenient from where we live.

Goliath Grouper are protected in the Gulf of Mexico and not just off the Texas coast, catch and release only. Off the Texas coast we catch Gag, Warsaw, Scamp, Snowy.

What the hell is the matter with a man eating filet mignon??

OK, they're small, just get 4 or 5 of 'em. Don't even season them, sear 'em and chew 'em.

Prime rib, every Christmas, (scares my sis-in-law to see the plate-sized slab of goodness), NY strip, Porthousetbone, all great, but filet is the best.

Did I just step outta some carnivorous closet that I didn't know about?

Don't get me wrong. Filet mignon is good, and I do enjoy searing one up on the grill for one of the ladies to enjoy. I may even, in a moment of weakness, eat one in the privacy of my own home. But in public? Welcome to the world outside of the closet. Let me get you a sirloin. :D

while we're at it lets talk about the manliness of drinking Old Crow over Glenmorangie. hair on chest, etc etc.

filet mignon vs. hamburger. you can keep the burger :gomer:

While I would be lying if I said I don't appreciate a good hamburger from time to time, the question isn't filet vs. hamburger. Sirloin, porterhouse, ribeye....all good manly cuts. Filet is very good....for the ladies. :gomer:

If you are a man and you must eat filet, try cooking up a tenderloin roast instead...same cut, much more manly... :D

The simple fact that you are so acutely concerned about your perceived levels of "manly" in relationship to individual cuts of beef speaks volumes.

Now that, my friend, is taking this to a whole new level of personal....

But I digress. It is time to make a peace offering.

So next time you are in Chicago, give me a holler and I will make sure to have a veil cutlet all ready to go on the grill for ya. :laugh:

Funny you should mention that.

Last New Year's Eve I was actually at a restaurant that steadfastly refused to 'create' a vegetarian entree. They had a 'fixed' menu...something like 10 dishes, all with either meat or fish.

I suggested combining a few of the available side dishes (pasta, vegetables, etc) together to make a 'meal'. They didn't want any part of that. The only thing they were willing to do was give me a side salad and a cup of soup (French Onion) and charge me the same amount as the lowest priced entree on the menu ($18.75).

Probably not going back this year.

French Onion?:eek: Really good French Onion soup starts off with cooking down a cow to get some serious consomme. It used to be that you could go to the butcher and get shin meat for making consomme. Well now days with the advent of centralized slaughterhouses it is damn near impossible to get. You need a lot of the stuff too, a gallon of consomme requires about 10 pounds of beef.

Judging by the quality (or lack thereof) I'd say that this French Onion soup came from a box rather than a bovine, but nonetheless that's good to know as I wasn't aware of that myself.

That is just absolute crap that they did that. We've talked about it so often in my menu planning class about making sure to have vegetarian options on a menu or have the ability to come up with a dish real quick. And how the vegetarian option should look just as good or better than the meat/fish/whatever option.

Or any soup for that matter. Most soups are made from beef or chicken stock.
