We Tried 20 National Steakhouse Chains. Heres The Best One
theres nothing quite like an expensive,cut of meat expertly prepared and served,hot to your table before you head out,for a costly dinner check out this worst,to first ranking of some of the major,u.s steakhouse chains to make sure your,money will be well spent,if youre craving a delicious steak stay,far away from bonanza steakhouse this,chain tries to combine the best,attributes of a traditional steakhouse,and a buffet restaurant but instead you,get high-end steakhouse prices at,discount buffet quality bonanza,steakhouse also serves a wide array of,seafood chicken and other american,favorites that generally underwhelm if,you have to order off of the menu order,anything but the steak which is the,worst of the worst the best value at,this steakhouse is actually their salad,bar bonanza steakhouse and ponderosa,steakhouse are both owned by the same,parent company so do yourself a favor,and avoid both we come adorable husband,because the steaks are delicious tender,juicy and cooked just the way you like,them theyre great no theyre not,when you first walk into claim jumper it,looks like a great choice this national,steakhouse chain which dates back to,1977 has a fun western theme thats,centered on the california gold rush of,the mid-1800s,during those times a claim jumper was,someone who wrongfully occupied someone,elses property usually with the hope of,finding gold today if you make the,mistake of going to claim jumper you too,will feel like youve been robbed,despite the fun vibes and interesting,furnishings the food is forgettable no,matter what you order off of the menu,you wont be pleased even if you think,youll enjoy claim jumpers western,theme just watch a western movie instead,and then head to a steakhouse that is,worthy of your money,with more than 700 locations in the,united states theres a good chance that,youve been to an outback steakhouse,unfortunately that also means theres a,good chance that youve been,disappointed not only is outback,steakhouse way too expensive for what,you get compared to other restaurants of,the same caliber but the quality of the,meat never lives up to what you see on,the commercials a perfect world i would,be eating at chilis constantly,but tonight,theres no rules just right outback,steakhouse,outback steakhouse is primarily known,for its australian theme if you buy into,the hype you think that this restaurant,chain serves authentic food that,australians eat while theyre tossing,around boomerangs and boxing kangaroos,but its clear from the very american,offerings that the founders had never,traveled to the land down under prior to,opening their first location,the food youll get at logans roadhouse,isnt too different from the offerings,at outback steakhouse,the main difference is you get slightly,more bang for your buck at logans,roadhouse without the fake australian,stick that said logans roadhouse is far,from an elite steakhouse you can find,tender ribs here and the margarita,cheesecake is legitimately great but the,steaks leave a lot to be desired the,flavor is lacking and the texture is,iffy at best one cool thing about,logans roadhouse is that the restaurant,gives you a bucket of peanuts at your,table sadly following multiple lawsuits,related to slipping on peanut shells,some locations no longer allow you to,throw the peanut shells on the floor,diminishing the restaurants casual,charm now theres nothing to distract,you from the boring food,with locations all over the world,wolfgangs steakhouse is truly,international but if youre in the u.s,youll have to find one in new york new,jersey or hawaii is it worth it well the,steak at wolfgangs is a lot better than,the steak you find at most casual steak,houses its not quite good enough to,justify the price tag of about 50 per,steak while the ribeye steak is very,flavorful its just not notable enough,to be worth the money the high prices,would be easier to digest if it werent,for the fact that wolfgang steakhouses,can get uncomfortable and loud this is,not the place to go if youre trying to,have an in-depth conversation with a,date also dont get confused and think,that this steakhouse is the brainchild,of wolfgang puck this chain comes from a,man named wolfgangs wiener and while mr,zweiner has more than 40 years of,experience in the industry the confusion,caused by the name of the restaurant,resulted in a lawsuit,saltgrass steakhouse is basically the,opposite of wolfgangs steakhouse both,in good ways and bad ways offering an,extremely comfortable dining experience,with friendly attentive waiters,relatively low prices and an impressive,assortment of appetizers and desserts,unfortunately the quality of the steaks,at salt grass steakhouse just isnt,there the restaurant covers all its,steaks with a flood of garlic butter and,while thats a tasty gimmick the first,time or two you have it eventually,youll realize that the wool is being,pulled over your eyes beneath the butter,is a steak that lacks the flavor or the,satisfying texture to survive on its own,if you want to go to a salt grass,steakhouse you wont have much luck on,either the east coast or the west coast,but you can find the steakhouse,throughout the heartland if you look,hard enough,charlie palmer steak has locations from,the golden state to the big apple all of,them luxurious but unless you know,exactly what youre doing youre not,guaranteed to be satisfied by your meal,for starters you need to know that the,seafood at charlie palmers steak is,actually better than their steak their,yellow fin tuna tartare citrus marinated,wild baja prawns pan roasted sea bass,and halibut are all great choices if you,do go with their steak be sure you add a,sauce like horseradish cream blue cheese,fondue or roasted garlic shoe otherwise,if you order a steak without any sauce,youll be met with a piece of meat that,looks really good but lacks flavor,mortons the steakhouse claims to have,the best steak anywhere and at one point,in time that may have been true however,these days youre taking a gamble,sometimes the stakes are outstanding but,other times theyre so rubbery that,youll have a difficult time swallowing,unfortunately the prices are the same no,matter what you end up with if youre,headed to mortons the steakhouse order,the filet mignon which it offers in,three different sizes starting at six,ounces if youre lucky youll get an,amazing steak that you will talk about,for the rest of the week but if you get,a steak that has a rubbery texture all,you can do is eat as much as you can and,take the rest home for your dog fido,will be thrilled,blackrock bar and grill is an,interesting concept and while this place,is unlikely to become your favorite,steakhouse its unique enough that you,should try it at least once in your life,at blackrock your meat is served on a,volcanic rock thats been heated to,755 degrees its a novel idea but not,the strangest thing a steak has been,served on what is that thing,once youre given your slab of sizzling,meat youre in charge of the rest of the,cooking the best part of the experience,is that every bite of steak promises to,be as hot and as juicy as your initial,bite on the other hand if you wanted to,cook your own food wouldnt you have,just gone to your kitchen instead,blackrock bar and grill isnt a place to,kick back relax and get lost in,conversation it promises to be a,memorable dinner but youll be,responsible for most of the heavy,lifting,with only eight far-flung locations,shula steakhouse stretches the,definition of national chain but its,worth mentioning nonetheless shoeless is,the creation of legendary miami dolphins,head coach don shula you might think,that a football coach knows a thing or,two about filling up hungry people who,love to eat and youd be right while,this steakhouse offers a fine dining,experience the portions are large and,the steaks are worth the money youll,spend if you go to shoelace with a big,appetite order the 48-ounce porterhouse,and theres no way youll leave without,feelin

youve arrived at smith and wollensky on,the Las Vegas Strip james smith from in,this corner and joined by the WBC,heavyweight champion of the world Berman,stubborn he takes on Deontay Wilder,January the 17th on showtime,championship boxing right down the,street at the MGM grand welcome champ,good to see you let itll be here,different kind of an atmosphere for,anything right lets start out and,talked about since were at smith and,wollensky and its fine dining here,youre a heavy way you dont have to,worry about you know making weight or,anything like that but how do you handle,your diet in you know when youre,training for a fight as compared to when,youre just normally hanging out and not,having to train actually I do i do have,to make weight I got my own my own,weight that I want to be at the fight so,uh like any anything at your own scale,yeah right so like any other smaller,weight light weight or do make weight,how was your life changed since becoming,WBC heavyweight champion of the world,would have been the major changes for,you major change not much I really lucky,to keep it keep myself on the low key I,would say a major change in the boxing,world people that actually watch boxing,or spend time aha in front of TV,obviously they recognize me I get that a,lot,but personally at home or and Im alone,or I dont I just keep it simple i just,keep it where I always same remains like,like like like before the title and,theres that time you know were,actually even where resided and in Las,Vegas sometimes I even forget I got the,belt and when you go up the stairs the,first thing you see is develop so,sometimes like oh yeah Ive noticed that,Ive seen you waiting to go to your seat,and you stand in their non non chalant,tell us about some of the things that,have been special your travels with,people things that youve done as the,first Haitian heavyweight champion of,the world well yeah when did one of the,first thing that was to be kind of like,the person no friend to the president so,thats very special you know I got his,personal line his office cell phone you,know thats I mean el Presidente right,so you know thats special to me and,probably wanted a special moment that I,had was looking like a few weeks ago at,WBC convention you know there was a lot,of Legends out there pretty much all the,best fighter that they ever fought in,boxing and there was they work in an,award and just for me to share the stage,with these these are fighters it was,pretty special for me it was I was a,moment,uh probably wont forget I mean to me,seemed agler and Leonard Tyson miles de,piensa Duran and Holyfield and Zuma,nearly and everything about you are a,lot of good roads and about you Im on,the stage and Im getting what they,getting so it was that was pretty,special it was pretty um gonna happen at,the right time also like probably like a,book about a month before the fight so,it gave me a low little tap on the,shoulder and you know that was well,appreciated this is there a moment that,i cant forget and we all cant forget,about what happened to haiti I think,its been its been four years now i,think since the earthquake how are they,doing over there Id really pretty good,pretty good theyre building a lot,theres a lot of resorts now you know,that that allowed the country in the,cities to create jobs and you know to be,back on their feet so this is a good,thing you know theres this to distill a,lot of works the work to be done but so,far so good marcin a lot a lot of things,better things and its going to a better,direction right now do you plan on going,after the fight any time or any time,shows yes I am good good thats got to,be so important to the to the people,over there today to anybody over there,with what youve accomplished your style,I was always breaking down some film the,other day and youre a mixed bag I mean,I saw some Jersey Joe Walcott I saw some,Larry Holmes I saw some tommy hearns,with the left down ive seen some some,mayweather in contemporary it described,the berman stubborn style the way I see,it is I could adapt myself to any,when the only when its time to box then,our box when its time to get it to my,you call it our all the brawl or when,its time to be in my my defense and,like me like a turtle yeah you know I,could do that as well but as depends on,whos in front of me and who Im,fighting makes it difficult for your,opponents because against areola you did,something ever everything you baited him,you fainted him you languished on the,ropes which I dont like to see,especially coming on the 17 but it all,worked and right what is uh areola was a,fight that I had to get out of my,comfort zone mmm I was fine because,there was a way to fight him which both,fights i prevail,people assume that me putting my hands,down its the way I fight maybe it wasnt,I realized the type of fighters pretty,aggressive and likes to put his,opponents in the rope and at some point,he get careless because they are,enrollment and he unleashed a lot of,punches and already care about his,protection so thats true thats the,reason why we use the that tactic stain,on the ropes with him and kind of beta,baiting him at right and then hes not a,fire that that knows how to react to a,right hand you know we seen that when,you fought Walker and when he fought,Molina he got hurt a couple times with,other fighters and it was it was the,right hand and this is what I picked up,now when you want to talk about Deontay,Wilder this is going to be uh like night,and day well well get to that well get,that in just a second but the only time,you and I forgot to do its name but I,watched the fight where I thought it was,a horrible stoppage the one fight that,you lost and I me because you were you,know you were bitching and moaning right,after the stop is you werent hurt you,you basically but that would that was,was that a situation where hes just had,a bad habit of a plan around that day or,no you know at that time you know I,blame myself for this and I always will,I think I the time I was 12 12 and 0,with well knock out and,I was knocking anybody out before the,before the fourth or fifth round and um,and a lot of people was asking me you,know you need to do more rounds and you,need to you know so that got to me which,I shouldnt I shouldnt happen but it,got to me and good learning experience,though yeah it is is at the time you,know the first round I dropped him and I,didnt jumped on him right away like I,always did with my other opponent and,taught us to you know stop the fight so,I didnt and I then let him loose and I,think I performed in the fourth round,you know I was in the rope and he was,throwing punches coming with a right,hand I wasnt there I think you werent,even want like you as as we were,exchanging I dont know the referee saw,something or whatever he stopped the,fight but you know at the time you know,it was I was really,mad and disappointed and I couldnt I,couldnt blame I cant even blame him or,the referee because that was my mistake,yeah it was my responsibility to make,sure that uh if its one round if its,30 seconds of the first round and thats,dust outside is you know I shouldnt,listen to other people or people thats,telling me that I needed to do more,rounds but you know after after that,that are lost I learned a lot really,asked myself after that if this is what,I really want to do things have to,change a couple of different things I,mean a lot of I was just a good lesson,for young fighters that you can actually,learn from a lot but you know sometimes,when in a world title and at the,impressive manner which you did it,sometimes it automatically makes a,fighter twenty-five percent better from,the get-go right because I its funny,you said that because as soon as I,entered the gym and I started doing,shadow I felt I felt be doing the shadow,and and exercise I felt different,different when it comes to feeling good,feeling stronger feeling it you know so,how much of that too is up here you know,mental
Chain Restaurant Steaks, Ranked From Worst To Best
top quality stakes can be a pricey,proposition so its best to do your,homework before dropping some major coin,this is our ranking of chain restaurant,stakes from those unworthy of making the,cut to the absolute height of bovinity,where does your favorite rank,outback may boast the most locations of,any steakhouse in the united states but,more often than not quantity isnt an,indicator of quality that sadly holds,true here sure a meal at outback,steakhouse is easier on the wallet than,dining at glitzier competitors but the,cuts are generally subpar the wiser,investment is to pay a premium elsewhere,or even go the diy route and grill your,own if you do happen to find yourself at,outback beyond an order of the,obligatory blooming onion the slightly,above middling bone in ribeye is going,to be your best bet it weighs in at an,impressive 18 ounces and comes with two,sides so youll definitely be leaving,full of food and likely some regret,if you were to rank the 250 plus items,on the cheesecake factory menu the steak,selection would fall toward the bottom,of that list but if youre desperate to,scratch a beefy itch stick with what the,exceedingly popular chain does best and,get saucy the steak diane fits the bill,with ho-hum medallions of beef swimming,in a pool of mushroom and wine sauce,laced with black peppercorns dont,forget to reserve some of that sauce to,lay it on to the accompanying scoop of,mashed potatoes the old school classic,is likely named after the roman goddess,of the hunt and is traditionally served,tableside though you wont be getting,that kind of service here while the dish,has been prepared by everyone from,gordon ramsay to guy fieri this,rendition is not exactly fine dining oh,i didnt tell you youre banished from,the cheesecake factory,chilis originated in the lone star,state so its only appropriate that they,offer the full fajita spectrum from,carnitas to shrimp but steak is the way,to go when choosing this tex-mex,preparation style which dates back to,the 1930s back then the campfire kissed,beef quickly became a favorite among,mexican vaqueros and its no surprise,that the dish would eventually spread to,the masses presented on an extra hot,serving plate the grilled strips of,steak and vegetables are served,traditionally with mexican rice black,beans and tortillas on the side you get,sour cream pico de gallo salsa and,shredded cheese for plenty of make your,own taco options its the best steak on,offer at chilis which isnt saying much,the spread is satisfying but doesnt,quite rise to the cast iron sizzle if,youre here and in the mood for beef,place your bets on a burger,when it comes to the cult of cracker,barrel singling out the must-order menu,pick is a contentious subject we like to,sing the praises of the country fried,steak which is the best of southern,comfort usda choice beef is tenderized,and flattened deep fried then smothered,with creamy sawmill gravy filling right,well wait theres more youll also be,getting two to three sides because it,wouldnt be a visit to cracker barrel,without some macaroni and cheese and,dont forget about the cherry on top,your choice of a scratch-made buttermilk,biscuit or corn muffin if you happen to,have a hankering for a heavy duty,breakfast youre in luck the country,fried steak is an all-day affair but,whenever you choose to chow down,remember that youre tinkering with a,carb and sodium bomb with this in mind,have your server on standby armed with a,water pitcher and brace yourself for a,lengthy post meal nap is it delicious,yes does it satisfy your hankering for a,juicy steak not really which is why,youll find it so low on our list,the marriage of seafood and cheese is,the culinary equivalent of maria and,tonys doomed romance in west side story,add an entire steak to the equation and,youve got a recipe for disaster and yet,applebees somehow just barely pulls a,seemingly incongruous trio off with one,of the chains most popular offerings,the shrimp and parmesan sirloin lets,start with the steak which is a grilled,half pounder of top sirloin as for the,quality the beef is graded usda select,which is a step below choice in other,words when it comes to marbling and,juiciness the verdict is meh luckily the,nicely charred exterior swoops in to,save the day next the parm which is,folded into a warm lemon butter sauce,unlike a dad joke the cheesiness is more,than welcome finally a six pack of black,and shrimp tops things off with a hint,of peppery spice and lets not forget,the side pieces garlic mashed potatoes,plus some steamed broccoli to temper all,that guilt is it the surf and turf of,your dreams not quite but for the price,it does the trick,since steak is so costly it rarely shows,up in the world of fast food so when it,does of course we simply must rank it,chipotle not only offers steak but,actually makes it taste pretty darn good,at least as far as fast food state goes,according to the mexican chain the,responsibly raised beef is sous-vide,marinated overnight in chipotle adobo,and then finished on the grill though,the results can be a bit chewy the,flavor is there and for less than ten,dollars its quite a value order it in a,burrito with white rice black beans,cheese and roasted chili corn salsa for,a satisfying on-the-go meal,fun fact according to nbc its legal to,eat roadkill in many states but texas is,not one of them with that said you can,rest assured knowing that the roadkill,served at the root and toot and downhome,eatery texas roadhouse is free of big,rig tenderized armatillo beef is the,meat of choice here its served up as a,chopped steak which is essentially a,bunless hamburger the juicy mega-sized,disc of fresh ground chuck is topped,with melted jack cheese along with a,sauteed duo of mushrooms and onions the,complete package is at least visually a,hot mess so yeah it definitely lives up,to its billing but looks can be,deceiving and the meaty monstrosity

How A Michelin-Starred Chef Makes The Perfect Burger
so its a snowy wintry day in midtown and fifty first Street,im here at Salvation burger because April Bloomfield brand new with,hamburger specific restaurant April got her start new york about 10 years ago,the spotted pig and its been argued that she wanted Michelin star based on,the shore trip and she sells out,she went on to create new yorks most beloved lamb burger at the breslin and,now shes opened the spot which is dedicated to handlers,this really is a Supermax book I mean you have controlled every aspect of what,ends up on the players totally every aspect from finding the farm,were thirsty has been grazing to going to visit slaughterhouse and then hiring,a fantastic but youre shuttling guests to grind the meat for us in house so,Ive been dreaming about this project for a long long time,at least six to seven years,Being able to control my own blend and just have direct contact right there.,If theres a problem or I want to do something on the fly,,I have somebody there thats just as passionate as me.,that can kind of get us away from it.,These are all of our New York strips and rib-eyes right in here like the one that,erica is cutting up right now is eight week dry aged.,so it gets like a peep your flavor a little funkier you know.,all the flavors condense dense and becomes a lot more tender.,so we just grind that up and put it in the burger and then you can see right here like this is the leg but,basically what we do is were doing a completely whole animal blend.,So its something that nowhere else in the city is really doing.,every burger has every part of the animal in it. You know one day I might be really fatty,,one day it might kind of not have the same consistency that youre looking for,but when youre taking care of all of that back end…,April can say I wanted taht more fatty i wanted less fatty.,Depending on the season the flavors are going to change a little bit.,So that kind of tweaking can just be really exciting especially for someone like April who really cares.,Tell us about the about the cooking process itself, because that is quite unique.,-Yeah you know its been a couple of dreams of mine has been to,be able to cook up over wood. And you know the woods gonna impart teeny, teeny,bit of flavor. Which is you know perfect for this type of burger.,So check this out. that this is a little bit of aged beef tallow.,-Oh lovely! so youre going to get some of that flavor in there too.,-Yeah. going to get a little bit anything to layer that flavor, you know?,This one Im going to show you is a little French onion style.,Its just some caramelized onions with a little taleggio, actually.,Its just a perfect burger!,Look at that! That is amazing, thank you.,Look at this thing. So this is the namesake – this is the Salvation burger.,And I mean it looks…,I love the primal aspect of this hamburger.,Its just its really just cheese, onions, beef in a bun.,What else do you need?,Here I go.,Wow you get that beefy, steak-like flavor, the smokiness.,the onions have a sort of thyme flavor. The cheese adds this creamy, viscous blend to everything.,But the meat itself its really hearty. It tastes like a short rib or steak.,Im going in again.,And that bun! Its got like a quadruple layer of crunch.,Its a crunch on that then you have the tenderness, the airiness of the inside of the bread.,Then you have the snap and crunch of the maillard reaction on the burger itself.,Then you have the juicy innards and then its all repeat again on the bottom.,Its just this is a great great hamburger.,So Im impressed, I mean I knew I would be. April is a incredible chef and,shes obviously put a decade of burger knowledge and expertise into this thing,I think that shes knocked it out of the park. This is what the Salvation burger should be.,theres nothing quite like a full English breakfast whether it be fuel for,a hard day of Labor a company meal to ward off a dreary day or a cure for an,epic hangover,the meal is a celebration of breakfast it is breakfast as feast in New York,British chef April Bloomfield is reforming the way that people feel about,English food and in my opinion shes serving up one of the best versions of,the breakfast anywhere on earth,yeah
