Harken back with me to those first great days of being out of college, working, and single. Well, maybe the first year or two.

I decided to take my first trip to Chicago – because I could! My first dinner in the Windy City was memorable only because of how poor it was: a sausage at Michael Jordan’s Restaurant. The sausage was cold, which seemed to match the ambiance of the nearly-empty dining room.

My second dinner would be exponentially better: steak at the restaurant of legendary Cubs broadcaster Harry Caray. I decided if I was going to have a steak, I was going to go all out with something I’d never, ever ordered before: a porterhouse. With grilled mushrooms. And a glass of red wine.

The porterhouse was tender, juicy, had just the right amount of pepperiness, and most importantly, was delicious!

In the years to come, I would not indulge in such a decadent dinner by myself. Now married with two kids, it’s out of the question! But for one glorious night, the steak was the show!

By the way, the reason I went to Chicago was for, of all things, the annual Chicago Pinball Expo show. Chicago is the birthplace of modern pinball and where they still manufacture machines.

Chicago: come for the pinball, stay for the steak!

Funny, thinking about steaks. Growing up, it was all about having them since that didn’t happen too often. As I got older, it became the fact that I could have them whenever I wanted. Now it’s about what the steaks actually represent: To us, it’s a good excuse to try any number of types/cuts of steak, good wine/beer, and superb company with our friends! There’s nothing like throwing some steaks on a BBQ and enjoying friends for the evening. While steaks are not the only meal we entertain, it’s by far our go-to main-stay just because everybody so enjoys them. When my best friend & I head for the dog shows (sorry, girls weekend, the hubbies are home!), she knows I’m going to be cooking steaks each night. So consider it an excuse for us to relax, kick our shoes off, and enjoy the people we like to share our time with. Did I mention that we BBQ year round and knock the snow off it this time of year! So if we won, we’d call up a good set of friends and enjoy an evening of food, drink, and talk. And if not, we’ll wish the winners the same, and go see what steaks I can pick up locally for ourselves. Happy Holidays to all! And to Snake River, I’m soooo glad I stumbled on you and am looking forward to working our way through your product line!

I can’t even remember the last time we had steak. Even the pictures made me salivate, LOL!
Our funny steak story was about 35 years ago, my BIL spent a bunch of my father’s money buying “good steaks” from someone he knew. Well, My dad BBQed them. We were all so excited for these “good steaks”. I was the only one of the bunch of us to get a good one, the rest were leather. I always get a kick out of people who can get you “GOOD DEAL”, LOL!
