Live to Ride...Ride to Eat

[Stichill_imp]

Great report, Stichill.

I might just ease the cork out of a bottle of red in anticipation of a steak.

I'd recommend a $30 Australian, say a 1999 Jacob's Creek Centenary Hill Shiraz. (As if I actually know the first thing about wine in general or Aussie wine in particular, lol! )

Good thing you didn't call me first or instead of helping my wife rearrange my lawn tool shed after this mornings ride, I have ridden 100 miles south east to Portsmouth for a steak with Stichill, and that tool shed would still be a mess lol

Are those good steaks or what? Did you take the opportunity to visit the mural wall?

Btw the ribs are not ribs like one would expect, it's a cut of meat that includes part of the filet mignon attached to one rib, and resembles a large bone in pork chop

Dang! I figgered you're all packin' and so forth for the big ride!

Seriously, I was flabbergasted by the rib-eye. I have had such a bad run of tough, flavorless steaks at supposedly "good" restaurants in big cities. The Ribber renewed my faith in American beef! Wow. It was sublime...no more can I say.

I need to get back to Portsmouth. I didn't really look around a whole lot. What the heck was I thinking? I guess I was in a steak coma.

Speaking of the ribs, I was sitting at a booth next to the kitchen serving window. I saw a plate come out of there piled with ribs so high I couldn't believe it. I wasn't sure if that was a table serving or what. But yeah, they didn't look as expected. They looked like giant bone-in pork chops.
