At Outback was excellent!
One thing I like about that place is that if I ask for my meat to be
rare, they actually serve it _rare_!

Good stuff...... ;-d

The rack of lamb at Outback is really good. What I find disappointing, at
Outback and many of the other steak chains, is that they are not serving
*prime* grade steaks anymore, but *choice*. Frankly, they're tough, and I
can do better at home. The only steak chains near me that serve prime
grade beef are Ruth's Chris and Morton's, a bit pricier, but worth it for
the occasional steak. But that rack of lamb at Outback...yum!

Pretty much agreed. :-) The only place around here that I've heard sells
melt-in-you-mouth prime beef steaks is Cattleman's steakhouse (or
something like that) in Austin. I've not been there yet...

Glad you agree. :-)
Makes me wish that Lamb was cheaper in the grocery stores! I'd like to
eat it more often.

I like the way they make sure you realllly mean rare by asking "rare,
as in cool to the touch in the middle rare?"

yais!

never been tempted.

Cattlemen's? In Texas? That chain sounds like a Johnny
Come Lately grumble, grumble, grumble.

For me, there is rare - where the juices flow but it's still
red (not pink) and there is "very" rare where it's a dark
red and no juices are released.

My mother used to tell the waiter that she just wanted the

I like it rare, but not that rare.

They really are not bad for a chain. :-)
Medium pricing. They have the bloomin' onion which is a nice treat to me
as I don't eat that kind of thing very often,

but the rack of lamb is downright memorable, and worth the price.
Enough food too to split if you want to save money and share. They don't
mind doing that. It's 8 ribs and with the salad and veggies and bread
and stuff, it's just more than I can eat in one meal! Too much food...

I think she is the one that really taught me to enjoy raw or half-raw
red meat.

I sometimes tell people that I don't want it to actually scream when I cut
into it, but it should at least whimper a bit.

WOW! 8 ribs is a LOT of meat, even if they're skinny.
What do they charge for it?

mmmmm! Bloody rare means the juices are released to me...
if that's your view, wanna come to a "cook out" at my house
this summer? We can arrange a date later. You can call it
"vacation". w
