That depends!

Back in my bachelor days, I stopped at a local family owned grocery store, with a real butcher on site. He bought 1/2 a cow at a time. He was just about my age and he to was single.

One Friday night I had a hot date and I had invited the lady to my house for a steak dinner. I asked the butcher "if you had Christie Brinkley coming to your house for a steak dinner, what steak would you serve?" He reached into his display, and said this porterhouse. It was huge, and plenty for two people.

My date was impressed, and things went well that night, but she was just another fish in the sea, and I kept looking for Mrs. Right, who turned out to be Mrs. Carrera many years later.

On another occasion I asked about a steak, and he asked if Christie Brinkley was coming back. I said no, she was great, but just nuts. This lady is she is not a supermodel, just a nice 6, but I still want a great steak!

He would on occasion call me over to his counter and tell me, "this steak has to be thrown out tomorrow, and it is aged to perfection right now" He would sell it at 1/2 price or less. So I was "forced" to eat a perfect steak that night.

I really miss that place. And no, I never dated Christie Brinkley, but a few pretty cute ladies while fishing in the sea of ladies. Now happily married to Mrs. Carrera for 34 years.
