rant: fine dining

asparagus AND creamed spinach too

Creamed spinach is the worst food on the planet. Here is some bitter slime with your steak sir. That would piss me off so much, because that looks like a damn fine steak.

That steak - with a baked potato and a salad ON THE SIDE so nothing green is touching the steak, with a cold Budweiser and I'm in. Otherwise you can keep it.

Me too wart. I don't know why people are looking at the veggies when there's a savory ribeye on the plate.

Because those nasty ass vegetables are touching the steak. Plus they are probably causing a smell to interfere with the steak.

Am I the only one here who hates baked potatoes? Give me some spinach, not creamed though.

I think you guys haven't had good creamed spinach. And I agree that bakers are kind of meh.

Spinach is only thought of as horrible because of creamed spinach. I went almost 40 years of my life convinced that Spinach was some sort of joke, and then I finally had it when it wasn't creamed and I couldn't believe the difference.

I like baked potatoes, but I think they are kind of over-rated. If I get a choice between a baked potato or fries, I'm taking fries every time. Especially them big [expletive] in' steak fries. I love those things.

I like creamed spinach if it's done right, but too often it is swimming in the cream. I'd rather have it tossed in olive oil with garlic, salt and pepper.

Been once. Food was excellent; service was over the top and the total for both of us including one bottle of wine was over $200.

I don't know if it's find dining or not but I went to a place tonight that cost an arm and a leg. Gay House or something like that. You dunked some bread in cheese whiz and cooked your own stuff in hot oil. It was pretty good but I burnt the holy [expletive] out of the roof of my mouth.

It's genius. Hot cheese-whiz, you cook your own damn food, and they charge you an arm and a leg. But it was pretty good and kind of fun.

So if you are ever in Chicago and like melted cheese dripping all over stuff - Gay House. That's your place.
