Why the fuck do steakhouses exist?

[Anonymous No.18666645]

Seriously, I don't understand why people go out to buy steaks at restauraunts in the first place, nevermind going to a place where the ENTIRE POINT is to buy steak.
Seriously, why the fuck do you need someone else to cook you a steak?! It's a STEAK. It's like having a house of bacon, or a house of microwave ramen, or anything else that literally cooks itself.
I don't know. I only go out to restaurants to get things that I can't make myself. Do other people just not do that? Are people just retarded?

Putting aside the fact that restaurants usually have access to better choices of meat and produce, and the better kitchen equipment, most people go with their families. Try cooking four steaks and four different sides with fresh baked bread at the same time.

Steak houses often have great sides, starters, and desserts.

[Anonymous No.18667720]

some of the lads here have made semi-decent points, like better choices of meat (not too big a deal), better equipment (still not essential to the experience or unattainable) and their sides/starters/dessert options (standard of any restaurant and not unattainable outside

But the real reason for going to a steak house that is damn difficult to reasonably replicate is Dry Aging

Now, can you get dry aged steaks at supermarkets? Yes, but they'll not have been dry aged as long, it won't be prepared on the day nor will it be prepared in a way that allows for the general main appeal of the dry age steak: The stick to your tongue, funky flavour that goes with the meat, almost making it a cross between fine meat and fine cheese. All you're really getting from supermarket dry aging is a steak that'll be more tender than others of its type on average

Now, what's good about that is, if you're not into dry aged meat, which not everyone is naturally, then you very much have no real reason to be going to a steak house. And they are bloody expensive, with other restaurants at a lower price range offering a similar if not better experience with that factor taken out

[Anonymous No.18667914]

>>18667379
This. It's doesn't even have to be about different sides, just try to make 4 steaks, fries for 4 person, béarnaise and a vegetable side like asparagus without fucking up anything and serving it warm. It can be done, but it's nice to just get it served.

You can do an okay steak at home, but you're not going to have a grill that gets hot enough to provide a true steakhouse quality sear. A good steakhouse will have a grill that can hit 1500-1800F its just not something you're going to do at home without your own nice grill in the backyard. If you DO have a nice grill, enjoy. But if all you have is your stove top and oven, then you simply can't compete with a steakhouse.

A few reasons, anon. For one, they fulfil the same niche as all restaurants in that they are a place to go and be fed in exchange for money. Despite how easy it is to cook steak, one thing many people 'cant' do because they are retarded brainlets is source good steak, or even know what a good steak is. Additionally, because it's seen as a higher end option it's good for say...a date, or a business outing to 'celebrate', or something of that nature. I took my best friend to a steakhouse when it was their birthday, and then again when they got a promotion. I could've just bought steaks at our favorite butcher, and cooked for them- but it was meant to be a celebratory little thing and it let us get out of the house.

Tl;Dr: It's a restaurant retard, the point isn't just the food but everything around the food. The "experience". If you don't like the experience, then just don't go?

It was a cheap ribeye. I lost about a full half inch and maybe four ounces of weight, i think the only way to make this sort of steak look good is to smoke it all day. This sort of quick sear stuff only really works on better cuts. I demolished this shit, though. Steakhouses exist so you can make a steak and eat it while standing naked at half-mast in your kitchen.

The only thing left in the skillet was a bit on burnt-on pepper. I would say cast iron is fairly non-stick once you let the meat do its thing. It came off with a dry sponge, no washing require.

They’re actually a decent deal if you just order a steak — and a glass or two of wine (or one or two martinis). Skip sides and desserts. Sides and desserts are not only trash at steakhouses, they make you feel bloated and gross, and they’re obscenely overpriced.

A long time ago, in an age called the 1950s in the U.S and the 1970s to Now if you're a fucking primitive like a Europoor, Bugman, or whathaveyou, this thing called the refrigerator, a most civilized invention, by the masters of everything, from arts, culture, and of course cooking, the Americans.

Until the Americans civilized the world, primitives would have to eat or prep the who cow before it went rancid by canning, smoking, salting, or potting the meat. With steak though, it was better to eat fresh, so people would go the place where the man bought the steaks from butcher, and ate it so he wouldn't have to pay the butcher's prices because the man at the Steakhouse, would by the who muscle and divvy it up.
Naturally this wonderful, Anglo, practice was brought to the U.S where the civilized, culinary masters of the U.S continue the forgotten tradition.

A tragedy to see how far the European has fallen, forgetting its roots.

Of course the refrigerator is one of many great American Inventions that separate the Noble American from the savage latin and barbaric old worlders
