Ray's the Steaks Redux...

Sorry for my absence Gents, but as you all know we have been tremendously busy with our lovely government spending like drunken sailors, but I digress.

Anyways, as you know my favorite Steakhouse, Ray's the Steaks, just upped their game and moved down the street to a place that is 4.5 times the size of the shoebox in the strip mall. This is long overdue because they have had lines out the door for years, and after going the other night they are still filled open to close.

I was happy to see that the character is still there: the bare walls, no table clothes, cramped quarters and still the raucous of people floating around the doorway. I was very pleased to see that really nothing has changed besides the menus being laminated and the capacity going up. The steaks are the same price and they are still has tasty as the first time I went. So Cheers to Chef/owner Michael Landrum for pulling this off because most restaurants lose some character when they expand.

Oh yeah, and in the old location, he is planning on opening up a fish joint aptly called, Ray's the Nets...
