There is a "throw your peanut shells on the floor" place in Austin I like that has amazingly good steak for the price. So, someone recommended Santa Fe and I went the other night. I needed a steak, some new shoes, new dresses and needed a one-stop dealy-o so this is why I went to Midwest City. Anyhoo let me tell ya that was one of the worst steaks I've ever had. The waitress was great, I got to throw peanut shells on the floor, and my caesar salad was good. My filet had TONS of fat (I order filet because I have a phobia of meat fat, disgusting). My man's t-bone was one of the thinnest I've ever seen and it was nasty too. Even the bacon in my baked tater had a bunch of chewy fat! Margarita was well below my margarita standards. That should have been my first clue, I always order a "house" margarita on the rocks first because my theory is that if you can't get a regular right your premium margarita or mexican martini will suck too so why waste the money. I know I shouldn't have had high expectations at a place like this but with tip the bill was over $50 and for $50 we should at least be able to get an average steak. I knew better than to visit a copy-cat chain place and I learned my lesson. I should have (uh or my man should have) saved the $50 to use at Red Prime, which I am dying to try as soon as my fancy-schmancy dinner buddies get back from their cruise. The good news is that I found a fabulous pair of strappy-way to high heel-Nine West shoes for $20. I'll be wearing them tomorrow evening at the Urban Neighbors social at Brew Ha Ha for those of you that would like to see them. I crack myself up, I mean seriously. I'm so funny. I really am. LOL
