I had no idea.

Pink Taco’s owners make bid to name Cards stadium

I always thought Pink Taco was just some scuzzy local dive in Arizona. Because, you know, who does that??

Apparently Mortons does. Which I’m going to keep in mind when I dine there. “These are the Pink Taco people. These are the Pink Taco people. These are the Pink Taco people.”

I’d try to find a picture of a pink taco for this post, but we’re not those kind of people here at SteakFeed.

[[ UPDATE: It would seem the city of Scottsdale is Not Vegas : Pink Taco Stadium Nixed ]]

Such a great resource, I’m putting it in the Links section!

Seriously! We’d love it. Let’s all share the Steak.

If your VFW hall is having a Steak Feed benefit next month, put up some details!

Whatever, okay? Let’s talk about Steak!

Jon: Murray’s was great, and very tacky and the crowd fit perfectly. Old money, tired money, unfashionable money.

SueZ: And our money . . . so don’t get all money snobby.

Jon: There’s really no point in ordering the sides at Murray’s. I’m sure the caesar salad was about the only really edible thing. Perhaps that’s not fair. Everything was edible — in a 1950’s out of the can, powdered au gratin, hyper-saliferous way. Actually even the steak was pretty damn salty.

SueZ: I’ve got nothing against salty steak, it should be noted. Though we didn’t try any of them, I suspect that there was probably a decent dessert option on the menu. How bad can you screw up cheesecake?

Jon: This whole sides problem was pretty damn funny too, and practically unacceptable.

[Eat] Dinner at a steakhouse — it can be good for you (St. Paul Pioneer Press | 08/14/06)

I’d quibble a little bit here, because most of the steakhouses you’d want to dine at would probably end up being a little unhealthy for your wallet. Even though having a fat wallet is unhealthy for your spine… Lots of these places with the a la carte sides charge you an extra eight or nine bucks each for them.

I’m not saying to avoid steak restaurants though; but I tend to be biased against that model. Just because, hey, I’m plunking down forty-three bucks, the least they could do is slice in half a fifty cent potato and stick some little dishes of sour cream and butter next to it, am I right?

However:

Steer clear of … Mashed potatoes: Some recipes are so high in fat they’re more like potato ice cream.

This is yummy if you’re in a world with out a proper grill or even a proper grill pan.
Of course, I’m a sucker for balsamic on pretty much anything.
