Thank Goodness for Cows

best steaks in america esquire
I always say that the anticipation of a great steak dinner is much sweeter than that of sex. Perhaps I haven't had great sex. Or more likely, its that I insist on only the best steaks at the finest steak restaurants. One of the great things about living in America is that there is no shortage of great chop houses. From popular chains such as Ruth's Chris and Fleming's, to local favorites like Hy's Steak House located in Oahu (which by the that bastard Tandori just ate at a couple nights ago), we might as well have an amendment to the Bill of Rights guaranteeing our unalienable right to a great cut of meat.

Esquire.com recently came out with their list of Best Steaks in America, and while the focus of the list is on specific cuts of steak, I'm still pleased to see some of my favorite steak houses on the list. If you're a prime rib fan, you need to make your way to Lawry's the Prime Rib, especially the one on La Cienega in Beverly Hills. While Esquire thought highly of their English Cut, we prefer the more manly Diamond Jim Brady cut. Gawd, my mouth is watering. Peter Lugar and Smith and Wollensky are personal favorites as well.

Go to esquire.com to see the complete list.
