[Venerable Bede]

i always liked capital grille, but then, i was almost always there on someone else's dime.

i think the entire reason that the dozen-or-so great dc steakhouses exist is that faceless corporations pick up 90% of the checks

Are there "faced" corporations?

100% of mine have been this way. But one lunch at The Palm was with violinist Mark O'Connor and my only visit to Morton's was with British pop soprano Lesley Garrett. I miss my Tower job    (sometimes).

 I'll never forget the time we had a $50 gift certificate to that place and went there and feasted on $50 worth of sides. They thought we were nuts.
 
 And the sides weren't all that good...

Then maybe you should have tried the steak...
 
 Actually, there are some good promotions floating around out there for 2 steak dinners at Morton's for $99. That gets you 2 salads, 2 steaks, a choice of scallops/shrimp/crab cake for 2, 2 sides, and 2 desserts. All in all, a pretty phenomenal deal.

At the Golden Goose in LA (across from the airport) you can have a damn good steak and see strippers at the same time.  Health codes prevent the naked strippers from actually serving the steak themselves, which makes sense to somebody.
 
 There's also a great steak/stripper joint in Austin, TX for you SXSWers, but I don't remember the name of it.

If true, then that has my vote.  I have absolutely no factual basis for this, but I'm pretty sure Brazilian Steak houses were brought to America for Bachelor Parties.  Whenever I've been to one, I've been on a bachelor party and it seems everyone else in the restaurant is there with a bachelor party.

omg, smackie, i have our next million-dollar venture: open a strip club that features brazilian dancers AND serves brazilian steak (brazilian style).  all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-ogle.  we'd totally corner the bachelor party market... we'd only have to work 2 days a week (fri & sat).  BRILLIANT.
