Lists of Bests: David Soul's "Steakhouses I have Known and (mostly) Loved"

Lists of Bests: David Soul's "Steakhouses I have Known and (mostly) Loved" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/563 A great steakhouse can be a destination in its own right .... a supremely great steakhouse can make even the worst trip seem worthwhile in balance... Not much to do but through the carcass on the grill a non-steak lover might say... but then there must be more because only a few raise to greatness.... this is a list of some of my favourites and a few that will not see me again ... although your mileage may vary on the later ... establishments that I can't see anyone appreciating .... yes there are places that bad that still stay in business somehow...don't even make the cut to get on this list....
