A note on the Blanton's, on two occasions in the past I've gone out for a ribeye at the Capital Grille and another fine local restaurant. Both steaks were perfect, both old fashioneds were perfect, the combination of the two was otherworldly good. The sweetness of the old fashioned combined with the high heat sear on the steaks (rare to med. rare inside) was a match made in heaven.
And I like a good steak now and again, so here we are.
