At Outback was excellent! One thing I like about that
place is that if I ask for my meat to be rare, they
actually serve it _rare_!

Good stuff...... ;-d

The rack of lamb at Outback is really good. What I find
disappointing, at Outback and many of the other steak
chains, is that they are not serving *prime* grade steaks
anymore, but *choice*. Frankly, they're tough, and I can do
better at home. The only steak chains near me that serve
prime grade beef are Ruth's Chris and Morton's, a bit
pricier, but worth it for the occasional steak. But that
rack of lamb at Outback...yum!

Pretty much agreed. :-) The only place around here that I've
heard sells melt-in-you-mouth prime beef steaks is
Cattleman's steakhouse (or something like that) in Austin.
I've not been there yet...

Glad you agree. :-) Makes me wish that Lamb was cheaper in
the grocery stores! I'd like to eat it more often.

I like the way they make sure you realllly mean rare by
asking "rare, as in cool to the touch in the middle rare?"

yais!

For me, there is rare - where the juices flow but it's still
red (not pink) and there is "very" rare where it's a dark
red and no juices are released.

I think there is an OutBack somewhere around here, but I've
never been tempted.

Cattlemen's? In Texas? That chain sounds like a Johnny Come
Lately <grumble, grumble, grumble>.

I like it rare, but not that rare.

They really are not bad for a chain. :-) Medium pricing.
They have the bloomin' onion which is a nice treat to me as
I don't eat that kind of thing very often,

but the rack of lamb is downright memorable, and worth the
price. Enough food too to split if you want to save money
and share. They don't mind doing that. It's 8 ribs and with
the salad and veggies and bread and stuff, it's just more
than I can eat in one meal! Too much food...

<chuckles> My mom was the same way... :-) I think she is the
one that really taught me to enjoy raw or half-raw red meat.

I sometimes tell people that I don't want it to actually
scream when I cut into it, but it should at least
whimper a bit.

mmmmm! Bloody rare means the juices are released to me... if
that's your view, wanna come to a "cook out" at my house
this summer? We can arrange a date later. You can call it
"vacation". <w>

WOW! 8 ribs is a LOT of meat, even if they're skinny. What
do they charge for it?

I'm going to have to make a trip over there sometime soon,
I'm not fond of lamb but I'd certainly be willing to try it
again with such a recommendation. I'll send you the bill if
I don't like them.

Be sure to get it rare, and use the gravy that they serve on
the side. ;-d

Lots of garlic.

It was $17.00, served with fresh loaf bread that you cut at
the table, a salad of your choice and a choice of steamed
veggiesor garlic mashed potatoes or a baked potato.

It's a LOT of food. :-) There is quite a bit of meat on
those ribs too, and being lamb, I didn't think it was
terribly fatty.
