Guest heightsgtltd Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 ^^ Craftsteak in Manhattan is one of my favorite restaurants and bills for two have been about that for me too! The sides there are AMAZING but everything is extra like at any steakhouse. To respond to Penguin, he's right about the cost, so when people talk about corn-fed it's often grain fed that is what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a mix and corn will be the primary grain being fed to the cow at the feed lot. Grass fed steaks are nasty, at least out here they are because the climate is so dry. The grass is really low on nutrients, so feed lots are the only way to go to get the cattle to a marketable weight and meat quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigInALegacy Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Obscure reference - South Park when Cartman tries to put his balls in butters' mouth. :lol: Back on topic - so with corn or grass fed, is one necessarily better than the other, or is it more of a personal preference?

Guest heightsgtltd Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Quality being equal, I prefer grass most of the time. You can get really good corn fed or grass fed so it's really about the flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05pearl Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I would have guessed that corn fed would give more marbling - which should offer better flavor. Now, if you are looking for lean and healthy - maybe grass fed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest heightsgtltd Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Grass fed isn't all that lean, at least not the ones that are served in restaurants around here. The marbling is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gitster Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 So I was just at Whole Foods and I never realized it before, but right behind the butcher counter they have a big climate controlled case with big hanging racks of hanging aging meat. Pretty interesting, I picked up a pamphlet on them. The steaks are probably outrageous to buy at that place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 last time in NYC, M and I got the 'ribeye for two' at Union Square Cafe. It was $120 so I'd assume aged beef? It was delicious....best we've had short of the Chicago Chop House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
