You married the "my daddy is a rancher so I know all about _ _ _ _ _ _" girl? I didn't think they ever got married because no one measures up to Daddy and every guy ends up reminding them of the uncle who just hangs around the ranch drinking and dating strippers, so they have to keep moving on to new guys to impress with how they're really more like guys and "know all about _ _ _ _ _ ."Quote:

Was reading the Google reviews of Georgia James and came across this pic. I'm not sure why someone would go there and order a burger, but $26 for that? Oof.

I'm sure it will come up, but I stay away from B&B butchers. Pretty cool environment, good food, but they really took advantage of me with a big group few years ago.
I wanna hear this story.
I'll just leave it at almost got to 6 figures.
You can't just leave it at that when you've got a tab approaching $100k. B&B has a pretty big brand in the Houston area and if they legit ****ed someone out of almost six figures, I'd be curious to know more and take my occasional $500 steak night elsewhere.
I'm not saying legit f-ed, everything that was charged was "ordered". I've probably already said too much, not looking to start a bunch of bad press.
The service and food were great.
I dont understand. How is something "ordered"?

Killen's in Pearland is legit
But it's out in the middle of nowhere.
Del Friscos is our go to, Ruth's Chris is pretty solid too.
I guess?
I dont particularly consider tha the middle of nowhere, but to each his own. Doesnt have the downtown Houston vibe, but also doesnt have the traffic.
Neither of which has any bearing on how good the food is.
Kemah Steak Co is another option, but it int on par with Pappas or Killens.
If you're heading as far as Kemah whats a few more minutes to get down to #13 in galveston.

I know it's not really out in the middle of nowhere, just don't think it's worth the trek out to Pearland.

This B&B 100k dinner story is worst I've read here since the lame Oceanaire dinner
What's worse is he had 3 kids, all girls. I'm just saying that my wife isn't the average person who walks into a steakhouse and doesn't know what she's ordering or how it gets to her plate.

She must've grown up going to Rodeo Houston, a real "country" girl. Still wears Rocky Mountains? Not sure they are acceptable at Pappas.
No, she's not from Houston. She grew up going to the SA rodeo when it was at the Freeman but even that is an 1.5 hour drive from her house. She's from south Texas. Up until 2-3 years ago, Houston went many years without a rodeo. If it's not PRCA, it's not a rodeo. I know they lost their affiliation for quite sometime (10 years maybe?). Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
so what was that thing at the astrodome with all the steers, bulls, cowboys, horses, and clowns?Quote:

I don't care what you call it. I'm just saying that the event did not offer any qualifying earnings towards the NFR. It used to be PRCA many years back, lost it for some time, and was PRCA again a few years back. And I know it's a PRCA event this year. So right now, yes, it's a sanctioned rodeo.
The whole reason it went away from prca is because they were trying to limit the payout and didn't want Houston outshining Vegas.
This is a hell of a troll. Bravo sir

Enjoy your steak with your daddy's girl who ****ed you into sticking around and then GTFO of town and forget you ever saw this board.
Username checks out.

Didn't think I'd strike a nerve on the Houston Rodeo comment. My apologies. Enjoy the rodeo and thanks for the steakhouse suggestions for those of you that did.
Steak night at Little Woodrows EDO... good ole rubber steak and some over baked potatoes with plenty of butter and sour cream... plenty of beer and eye candy!
Just make sure you check out the pictures of the restaurant. You want to make sure they have floor length table clothes so that Steak and BJ night is guaranteed to be complete.
I agree with this. Have not been impressed with GJ. Pappas is tops IMO.htxag09 said:
B&B and pappa brothers are light years ahead of Georgia James. I haven't been to the dedicated full time Georgia James, but when it was 1/5 it was a huge let down. And a quick google of the menu shows that's probably still the case.
For example, at pappas their 14 oz dry aged (in house) ny strip is $57. At Georgia James, a wet aged strip is $95. When we went we ordered a porterhouse and it was also cooked completely uneven with the filet being rare and the strip being medium well. Pretty sure Chris shepherd just adds $50 to every menu item for his name and because his can.
Pappas is the benchmark in houston, imo.
Eta: someone above mentioned Doris metropolitan. It's also really good for a different type of steakhouse.
I don't know how you order stuff that totals almost 100k....like how does that happen?
Pappas Bros, STQ, or B&B.
Choose between those three. It is pretty simple really. You won't go wrong at either place

Of course it was for that. In what universe did you think it was okay to post a naked man spreading open his butt cheeks on our platform?

Booze. You start getting into their wine cellar and some of the liquor they've got and it can happen relatively quickly with a group of 20+BohunkAg said:

At first guess I would have said it would have to involve a lot of wine. But B&B doesn't even have that crazy of a wine list. Highest bottle I see is $8k. Don't get me wrong, a hell of a lot more I'd spend but not $100k bill high. Maybe a lot of $8k wine and a lot of $60/oz "Kobe"?BohunkAg said:

They've got liqour that will run in the 100s/pour. 25 Mcallan, Remy Martin, Pappy, etc..

Good point. But still, that's a lot of shots. And I'd imagine most people buying shots like that for big groups aren't worried about it or posting vague internet stories about it.

I'm not sure what the prices/pour are. Just saying it is possible and can happen quick. My boss and I ran up a $20K tab in Atlanta a few years ago when we had a dinner for our distributors that showed up at a conference. There were 12 of us, so ~1700/head.htxag09 said:
Good point. But still, if those are $500 a pour, don't know actual cost, making it up, that's 100 shots to get to just $50k.

The best $100/pour liquor in houston is in my backyard.
I know it can, I've been somewhere we've ran a $20k tab as well, but $20k is a hell of a lot different than $100k. And, as I edited my previous post to say, most people buying shots that could ever get a tab up to $100k aren't worried about it nor are they posting vague internet stories about how they were taken advantage of. I'll never be taken advantage of to the tune of $100k because I'll damn sure never put myself in that situation.

Didn't strike a nerve, you were clearly just ignorant vis-a-vis the HLSR/prca relationship and why HLSR went away from prca.
if your wife is a steak expert, why not take her to somewhere not a steakhouse for a big anniversary dinner?
pappa's still pretty awesome in my book, and definitely the most extensive wine list in the city for Bordeaux and Napa, and Doris Metropolitan is unique in comparison to most mentioned and has the best bread service in the city to go along with the outstanding steaks.

I didn't mean to say she was an expert. I just meant that she knows more than the average person walking into a steakhouse. I'm sure there are many on this board that knows more than her which is why I came here in the first place.
I think Pappa's is great but she wanted to try something new for us like STQ, B&B, or Georgia James.
