Laundry and Linguine. I think that we have the makings of a fine business there, my boy!!! I'll wash the clothes, PB can cook, you can be the host, SC will tell the jokes, DC will be the guy who everyone slips money to in order to get their clothes faster or whiter or maybe a better table away from the fabric softener, TIS makes sure everyone's content (How's your pasta? Did you ever have such soft, fluffy towels?), and Beth can be the bouncer.
We need a wait staff and some folders, though. Any volunteers?

Hey SB, i'd be up for sunday brunch... not sure about this weekend with the weather mess... but definitely up for it, anyone else interested in meeting up in that area?? As for the Old Homestead, its ironically across the street from Del Posto where I was last Saturday... (around 14th street & 10th ave) i heard its really good also. Not sure about $41 for a burger, the place "21" had a $21 burger... that was years ago. Even in Vegas at the top of the Stratosphere (which I believe is taller than the Empire State Building and rotates a full 360degrees in an hour giving you a view of Area 51, etc), their kobe burger was $16 if memory serves me correctly. THAT was the best burger I ever had, what I can tell you for sure is for 3 of us lunch was roughly $100 with drinks and dessert. So, I really cannot see the justification for a $41 burger even if you have the money to blow. How much is it with fries?? lol. As for tonite's dinner, had asparagus & penne pasta in garlic & olive oil, and, some bone marrow on toast... beef isnt as tasty as the veal bone marrow

Here we go again...... Besides the FACT that there are NO *REAL* KOBE burgers in the USA... *sigh*... let me just remind everyone that quality has NOTHING to do with PRICE. And, the FACT that there's no *real* (official) Kobe in the US unless you're prepared to pay $100+ for a BURGER while living in The Freshman during some clandestine illegal dinner... So stuff it already. "Kobe-Style" a.k.a. Wagyu -- is NOT TRUE Kobe!

Has anyone else bought from them? What are your thoughts,does it really save you money? One of their stores is a few miles away from me. I've tried their steaks and hamburgers, and wasn't totally thrilled (although they're not bad). If you get the stuff when they have a sale its not too bad, although they are generally over-priced (IMO).

I've bought the filets on a few occasions when they were offering deals. They were good, but no better than the ones I could get locally. I get emails from them regularly, but don't often buy from them. I never had their hot dogs. I'm sure they're very good.

You should have saved the linguine and clam sauce dinner for tonight! I actually did save half of it -- maybe I won't forget to abstain today! Now don't let me see you post that you ate a steak or a burger tonight! Well, no promises if I happen to come across a Kobe burger.....

My wife has been ordering stuff from Omaha Steaks and at first I wasn't impressed, but ship has been ordering a variety of things from them. I guess the more you order the better the discount? They have some pretty good selections. Their hot dogs are awesome and the have a great stuffed bread. Has anyone else bought from them? What are your thoughts,does it really save you money? This past summer I recieved a cooler full of Omaha products as a gift from someone. I really enjoyed their burgers and their hotdogs. Their burgers were really juicy and the hot dogs have an excellent taste to them, especially when BBQed. Their Potatoes au Gratin are awesome. As for the steaks, specifically the filet mignons, I was really disappointed in them. I thought that they were on the tuff side and lacked taste.

I've been invited out to Dinner tonight to a place that several of us here on the BB went to one time for one of our get togethers. I know that Signor Vitelli loved the dish that I will most likely order tonight ; Tortellini Baronessa. I think that Vitelli picked up the dish when all the tortellini was gone, and drank the Baronessa sauce that was left in it! And I don't blame him! It's simply out of this world! While all of their food is good, their Baronessa is my favorite dish.

...and your smilies are backwards. Call it whatever you want. I'm sure American ranchers don't massage their cattle like the Japanese do (which is bizarre enough, but still... lol) You should have saved the linguine and clam sauce dinner for tonight! I actually did save half of it -- maybe I won't forget to abstain today! Now don't let me see you post that you ate a steak or a burger tonight! Well, no promises if I happen to come across a Kobe burger..... I screwed up again. Unbelievable!

Can you imagine lobsters loose on a NYC subway car??? I knew a guy who once caught crabs from a subway seat.
