Clogging my arteries on Friday. Excited to quite excited

http://www.nycprimerib.com/

That should be fun.

Steak looks pretty damn good, but I bet the star will be the wine. If you're gonna eat a hundred dollar steak, wine needs to be, what? at least 300/bottle, no?

So yeah, and this is no ordinary affair.  Have the CEO of a company I work closely with, along with his exec team flying out from Austin and taking me out Friday.

Hotel at The Beekman, with a reservation at the bar before dinner. Then this place, then who knows.

But yeah, I would imagine the wine order is going to be pretty phenomenal.

Not your nickel?  By all means enjoy.  Can I pick the wine for you?

That aged Bone in would be what I'm having, thank you.  The prime rib should by all tense and purposes not be a $75 cut and I can get a really good one for a third of that at a bunch of places.  Aging a steak is an art though and man do I always go for that!

If the Bearnaise is good then that will be one hell of a meal.

Both the 2011 Bourdeaux will be excellent.  If you really want to get crazy 2001 was an amazing wine year.

Enjoy and please report back.  Pics of the wine too.

It's been way too long since I've been to a quality steakhouse. Fucking global pandemic.

Enjoy Cliff!

I hadn’t been to one since the beginning of the pandemic and went Del Friscos a couple weeks ago, then went to Ashton after to smoke cigars and drink whiskey. Was a good evening.

Now this…I think I need to take up F Me’s training regimen 

That is awesome.  You are gonna have a blast.  Also been since pandemic for big boy steakhouse for me.

Running at 400 AM builds character

(Also, I've gained about ten pounds in 45 days of being on the shelf due to injury.  If you're going to eat like a runner, you need to run!)

Have a blast.

Pics to come for sure. I was thinking bone in rib-eye, can’t remember the last steakhouse I went to and didn’t get that but was wondering if prime rib is their thing if I have to do it. I’ll likely go ribeye

One of my best friends had a dinner the other day and they did 2018 Opus One, so we gotta beat that lol. Will report back 

Opus one is too easy to beat w that menu they have.

What time do you go to sleep? 4am??

Depends on the day.  930 is target for early rises

Just you and your Queen?
First, that looks awesome 👍
Second, you may not poop for a few days if you eat all that cheese.
Just sayin'.  .

Yeah just me and the wife.  We had the kids watch a Disney movie in the basement.  

I went with manchengo, Spanish tapa cheese, and Vermont cheddar.  There were some leftovers.  

VT cheddar for the win!

Just an unreal evening and incredible place. Best steak I have ever had, I think 

Do tell.  The vibe in that place is amazing.

Very nice!
