"How would you like your steak?"
-
Speaking of local places... Go to the original in Greenville. It might be one of the best steaks in the South. Or maybe the best tamales.

We used to go to Morton's in Reston several times per year. I though they were always excellent.
I would get the Filet medium well with grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes.Now it is Texas Roadhouse, they are near us. The price is ok, you get what you pay for. But I like the filet there for a loud meal with the grandchildren.

When I was a kid, we went to Ponderosa a few times. For my 50th birthday (2 decades ago), my wife and I visited Wisconsin. We drove around a bit, eventually got lost and by late afternoon, we were ready to eat cardboard...and then we came upon a Ponderosa... I was overjoyed - to once again as they still had your "all you can eat buffet" with genuine red jello, vanilla pudding with vanilla wafers - and steak that was pretty mediocre - but was recognizable as formerly a carbon based life form. I was overjoyed. I treasure the memory even if we never repeat it.

So yeah, sounds like Ponderosa’s were still pretty much what I remember from the 80s…

We used to lick the road clean for sustenance.

We never went to steak houses growing up. They weren’t really in the family budget. My mom overcooked steaks at home.
-
Growing up with 6 children in the family we never went to any restaurant.
Maybe once a year to Howard Johnson during summer vacation.

WOW! You got to go to HoJos?
I was allowed to share a piece of toast from the lunch/breakfast counter at GC Murphy’s once.

Our neighbours had cows. We used to lick them clean for sustenance.

I thought you only did that with sheep. Did you wear your wellies?
Never on a first date.
