Last Friday evening, two days before we had planned a rockin’ steak dinner at home, we were invited to dinner with my husband’s boss and his wife. We were happy to accept; and where did we end up, you may ask?
A steakhouse.
It started the wheels in my mind spinning, comparing the restaurant steak experience to the at-home steak experience.
So here’s my Top 10 List for Why I’d Rather Eat My Steak at Home:
10. No Teriyaki sauce at the restaurant. (My fave.)
9. Most chefs don’t like to hear “Barely any pink, please.”
8. Really nice places don’t have bacon bits for my baked potato. 🙁
7. I can’t bring my favorite chair from my dining room table to the restaurant. It’s really cushy.
6. You have to tip the waiter. (My husband just asks for a kiss.)
5. At home, we listen to awesome playlists from our iPods that we pump through the house during our meal. (Most restaurants don’t play old Bobby Brown songs, Merle Haggard and Def Leppard.)
4. I can’t wear my really stretchy pants to a restaurant.
3. At a restaurant, I don’t have the luxury of knowing my kids are asleep in their rooms upstairs while I leisurely enjoy my steak.
2. It’s more expensive at a restaurant and you can get the same quality steaks (even USDA prime) delivered to you from KC Steaks. (Plus, see #6.)
1. No reservations.
