About the Tour

1.  The Steakhouses

The Philly Steakhouse Tour is a tour of the nine major steakhouses in Philadelphia by four gentlemen that enjoy a great steak and great wine.  The nine major steakhouses in Philadelphia are:

1. Capital Grille;
2. Ruth's Chris;
3. The Palm;
4. Mortons;
5. Del Frisco's;
6. Butcher & Singer;
7. The Prime Rib;
8. Barclay Prime; and
9. Smith & Wollensky.

2.  The Rules.

The rules are simply, but like all rules, are important.  We will visit one steakhouse per month starting September 2014 and ending June 2015, with a break in December for the Holidays.  We all must order NY Strip.  We bring our own, very good not on your wine list, wine.  

Reviews will cover five categories: (1) "the scene;"(2) bar area; (3) overall decor; (4) the service; and (5) the steak.

3.  The Reviewers.

The reviewers are anonymous - except for me, thanks Google - and will be known only by their aliases. 

The Rabbit:  The Rabbit claims to own multiple restaurants and know a bunch of stuff about wine.  I do not know if the owning restaurants is actually true, but he does apparently know about wine because he brings the good stuff.

Asia:  Asia is not Asian nor does he look Asian.  But, he works on Wall Street and travels to Asia or, so he claims.

Pierpont:  Pierpont also works on Wall Street.  I am not sure where he actually works.  However, since  all of the banks seem to be descendant from the House of Morgan, I named him Pierpont.
