I think their steaks are the pinnacle of carnivorosity.

Ruth's Chris would have had to beat them to be worth the 200 mile trip and 50% markup.
I've been to the one in Peoria, very very good.

When I was working for Solar Turbines (owned by Caterpillar) the running joke was always "First Prize is a 1 week trip to Peoria, 2nd prize is a 2 week trip..."
