That depends. I've visited plenty that use a Mesquite or charwood fire. THE Steakhouse at Circus Circus is a great example.

I like using the high heat of wood chunks even more so than charcoal; see below.


Quite true, but, at least based on my experience, they are somewhat less likely to be found, especially amongst high end restaurants. I suppose experiences will vary, truth be told, I don't much care how my steak is prepared as long as the person doing it is highly skilled and the final product on my table looks and tastes great.
 
I dunno Duke - I've been getting it done for about $25, and I'm having a hard time justifying doing it myself at that price.

I got mine done for about that including a car wash the other day, I definitely can't justify changing my oil at that price when a car wash is included.
 
Sometimes they have winterization specials. I can get oil/filter change, lube job, radiator flush, coolant replacement, air filter replacement and some other for about $75.

Oil/filter change is about $15 plus the parts.
 
See, for my perfect steak you need an 1800 degree broiler (though my at home broiler with a far lower temperature has to suffice), a nice cast iron pan, and some butter. Though, steak is pretty good in many other preparations.

At 1800 degrees or even far less, butter will burn well before any meat you're cooking is done. Especially cast iron. You should use an oil with a very high smoke point before it burns. I use grapeseed oil. You can add butter at the end briefly I suppose to get a quick glaze working and before it has time to burn.
 
why should everyone know how to drive a stick?

It's a good skill to have, stick cars are more fun, and I feel it's a little lame if you don't know how to drive a stick. Plus, what if you're in a situation where you need to rush someone to the hospital and there's only a manual transmission car available? Sure, that's not probable, but it is possible.
 
Ok, now lets start a list of all the basic skills women should have. ;)


I bet this list would probably be viewed as sexist by most of the population, while a list regarding men is not sexist at all, but that's OK. The world is a strange place. Besides, we all know that women should be skilled at cooking, cleaning, baking, and naked pillow-fights. ;)

The world is a strange place, this is the internet, and few of us know each other. Besides, we all know that women should be skilled at cooking, cleaning, baking, and naked pillow-fights. ;)

Well the first in the list, and most important, would be have babies and various sex acts. Of course.
 
I'm surprised so many of you know how to do laundry and sew a button...

The doing own laundry is a survival instinct to keep the SO from going through the pockets and finding we bought a new toy, or mistress.

At least this way if we forget the evidence, it has a greater chance of becoming pocket lint.
 
I'm doing this right before going to bed, so some of these are off the men's list:


1. Cook.
2. Bake cakes and cookies, and other good stuff.
3. Drive well, automatic or manual. :p As long as she doesn't scare the passengers, it's fine.
4. Balance a chequebook/checkbook.

Well the first in the list, and most important, would be have babies and various sex acts. Of course.

That will be 5 and 6. ;) If women can figure out another place to put those fetuses, then by all means, go ahead. Until then, they're going continue living rent-free inside women.

7. Dress for the occasion. By 'occasion', I can't see any occasion to dress really skanky.
8. Sew. Everything.



The rest can be seen in these wonderful guides for women. Yes, they're probably 100 years old, but that's where I've learned everything I know about women. ;)

Abstract, there's no way that this ends well. You know that, don't you?
I know, but that never stopped me from trying. :p
Oh oh.

Well, since I can't let you go down alone....

For me, women who can't cook lose their luster.
All for one and one for all! :)

-Being flexible
My mind is in the gutter... :D

1. Cook.

Man, just cooking will be good enough for me (not saying the others are not important but I couldn't care about them if I was hungry or had boring food all the time!)

Women seem to be losing their talent/love for cooking - my grandma cooked the best, my mom did good - and the wife.. :eek: :p
