Really? Almost any amount of asparagus has “The Effect” on me.

afterall, people are people too.

Well, you are what you eat, after all.

Bridget and I split a Porterhouse at the Morton’s Steak House in New York a few years ago, and I managed to eat most of it myself (Bridget is not a big eater of beef but will eat a little steak now and again.). It’s not an easy feat, and there was meat left over, but it was SO worth it.

I don’t care for creamed vegetables in general, so I’ll stick to the asparagus. A basic baked potato, not one loaded with stuff, isn’t too much for me as a side, but I do agree that potatoes dauphinoise are quite nice.

I love grilled asparagus, stinky pee be damned! But I also love creamed spinach, so I’m easy to please there. I also agree with the author about keeping the sides simple and few. Definitely focus on the steak.

I’d also go for the ribeye if I was the only one dining, but I wouldn’t be above sharing a thick porterhouse. Got a couple of 2-inch thick Porterhouses for some family feast occasion two or three years ago and grilled them – medium rare, of course – over a good hot charcoal fire. Every time I go by the butcher shop I want to do it again!

1st, I think that baked potatoes should be eaten on their own. if I’m going for the big bucks, and calories, it’s all dauphinoise all the time.
2nd, I loves me some asparagus, pee be damned, but at a steak house it is all about the CREAMED SPINACH. Yes, please, I’ll have some iron with an iron on the side…thanks! Liver appetizer? Sure!
3rd, Rib eye is my go to simply because there is no way in HELL i could ever eat a porterhouse solo. Good god they are huge. And really, why waste your time on the lean filet when you got that nice marbled side over there…
