Here’s a list of steakhouses in the U.S., ranked in reverse order. (Follow the link to get the music and lyrics, otherwise just skip to the list below.) I should point out that other than one or two, I haven’t been to any of them in ages (hence the title of this post), so things might have changed since then.
- Logan’s Roadhouse — never been there
- Texas Roadhouse — ditto
- LongHorn Steakhouse — no idea why this is so low on the list; I’ve been to several, and they were all good
- Hoss’s Family Steak & Sea — never been there; “hoss” and “steak” do not belong together, except maybe in La Belle France
- Outback Steakhouse — not bad, at least the steaks are decent; and it’s not really Strylian, which is in its favor
- Saltgrass Steak House — this should be higher on the list; I’ve been to several all over Texas, and all were excellent
- Sizzler — are you fucking kidding me? If this POS is on the list (never mind being so highly ranked), can Waffle House be far behind?
- Ruth’s Chris Steak House — not bad, but suffers from having the Most Unpronounceable Name Evah
- Black Angus Steakhouse — never been there
- Morton’s — never had a bad meal at Morton’s; it was my go-to place for client lunches and dinners, and should be near the top
- Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar — also excellent. We celebrated Doc Russia’s bachelor party there, and even the hard-to-impress Mr. Free Market had a good time
- Fogo de Chão — I can’t eat there because the prices are too high for my suppressed diet; would love to try them though
- The Capital Grille — too fucking spendy, even for client expense-account dining.
Add your thoughts to the list. Mmmmmm… steak.

…or however they say it in French. This story made me howl with laughter, although I still think the paras should just have turned their little Fairburn-Sykes stickers on the bureaucrats.
If they’re still allowed to carry them, that is.
I see that the above is actually a replica, the FOX Fairbairn-Sykes FX-5934. I love Fox knives, already have their 685 bush knife, and now I want this one really badly.
If anybody else is interested (and who wouldn’t be?) it’s apparently on sale here (as above) and here (in “tactical” black).
