This thread is making me hungry, it’s a good thing I’m sitting in a great restaurant waiting for my lunch. Best Asian Chicken salad in town, (IMO), but can’t stop thinking about steak.
My dad was a steak eating guy and lived during the time when people ate more steak. He was a very particular eater, (passed down to me), and frequented places like Charlie’s and Murray’s in Minneapolis or The Lexington Room in St. Paul. He was fairly well traveled and had been to many of the famous places in other cities, including NY; he claimed that the best places in the Midwest were as good or better than anything in NY. He also liked to emphasize that the streaks at the famous NY places all likely came from the St. Paul stockyards or Kansas City.
Anyhow, he liked to buy the best ribeye from Lund’s, (awesome high end grocery store in Mpls.), and cook them on his Weber grill. He used to say that the best steak house in town was the 1400 Club, his street address.
