| - Fact is I am a HUGE steakhouse fanatic. Been to some of the best too, from 'Frisco to NY. with stops in Texas and Kansas along the way. Trust me, in these establishments, the ambiance, the service and the food...all immpecable!
The Angry Butcher had my attention with their menu which was posted next to the entrance, which by the way is tucked inside of Sam's Town's little garden oasis complete with waterfalls. I was immediately sat down and my server instantly appeared. So far, so good! The hostess, who had sat me down, had asked upon arrival for a name. I did not think too much on this, because its almost standard to take a name for a waiting list, or a reservation. So imagine my delightful suprise when the hostess walked by a little later and asked if everytthing was to my satisfaction while using MY FIRST NAME!!! I've yet to taste the food at this point, and my 'interest' had turned into a mad crush! My appetizer of Fat Oysters arrived..a cute re-interpretation of the classic oysters on a half shell. These were big, plump, deep-fried oysters resting on a nest of vinegar slaw in the shell. Beautiful on the presentation and flavor that pops. My main course of their bone in rib-eye and roasted mushrooms were next. Impressive looking steak, and lo and behold it is cooked to my exact liking. I mean precisely! Recall my earlier statement about my passion for steakhouses, and understand it is not an easy task to get that legendary 'perfect' steak. AND! the meat literally melts on your tongue! One bite and you will know that God exists and there is good in the world!! Do yourselves a favor: Head to Sam's Town, make a bee line to The Angry Butcher, but slow down just enough to enjoy the trees, the waterfall and the sounds of nature. When you get there, give the hostess a wink and a nod and let them know the secret is out. They may claim to be a steakhouse, But it's really the Garden of Eden. :)
