Capital grille is corporate tier mass produced short-wet-aged usda choice meh. The restaurant is literally owned by Olive Garden.
Instead of being afraid to admit you might be wrong, try buying a quality steak sometime, which your knowledge makes it clear you obviously never have, and figure out why I’d even waste my time trying to explain this to you.
The last time I visited my father I bought two ribeyes to grill for us, from a premium butcher in his city. Grass fed, 42 day dry-aged prime cuts. $85 for two steaks. From the butcher. The fact you think I’m describing $15/lb meat when I’m talking about high quality is just further proof you’ve never experienced a steak that’s not shit-tier.
And I’m not judging your social status by talking shit about your food, I’m trying to explain the kind of difference that high quality food makes. I’ve eaten plenty of Costco steaks. They’re just fine. But they’re not in any class that’s significantly above “shit tier.”
I judge how good the food is by how good it tastes and the texture and quality of the meat.
So then buy a $50 steak from a high end butcher some time and do that
I eat ribeye every single day. Since I'm not a JIDF all or a George Soros paid ANTIFA I don't have that kind of money. Even if I did I wouldn't spend it on food. That's almost as dumb as spending it on cars.
Do you ever do anything fun that only lasts a couple hours and costs a bit of money?
If you never treat yourself to anything enjoyable, then that’s really the only excuse I can sorta understand. Getting the family together and preparing some high quality food and wine makes up a significant portion of my best memories. I have more vivid recollection of that dinner with my father than any grocery store thanksgiving feast I’ve ever had, and very few events — amusement parks, hiking/camping trips, shows, etc etc — even compete.
It’s okay to treat yourself every once in awhile, I’m not saying your fridge should be permanently stocked with Foie Gras and Montrachet, but I am saying that not eating high end food every day isn’t really an excuse for not knowing that your food isn’t high end
Huh. My memories aren't connected to the cost of commodities present. My best memories are of good times with friends and family. I never gave any consideration to material things that were there.
When it comes to food and drink it's usually the law of diminishing marginal returns at work. Yes, a dry-aged USDA Prime ribeye is better than a ribeye fresh sliced off a rib roast, but it's not 10 times better. I prefer 10 great steaks to 1 spectacular steak.
