What To Know Before You Order Your Steak In Atlanta
Before you order your porterhouse or strip steak in Atlanta, you should know some things about it. Here are some facts about steaks that you probably didn’t know.
- The best steaks are USDA prime steaks. USDA prime steak is the highest grade of meat sanctioned by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
- Ask Them if they freeze their steaks: The choicest cuts of meat should be fresh, never frozen. This creates a tenderness that you’ll love and savor with each bite.
- Ask them if they ‘age’ their steaks: The best quality steaks are wet-aged (sealed in a vacumm-tight bag for weeks) or dry-aged (stored in air-controlled coolers for weeks) for texture and flavor solvency.
Last Word
Who doesn’t enjoy a nice, well-cooked steak? Thankfully, Atlanta restaurants have some great options.
A nice steak is one of the most tasty, juicy and satisfying meals you can enjoy. Thankfully, Atlanta’s restaurants have plenty of steaks on the menu.
What ever steakhouse you choose to dine at, remember to tip your waiter generously. They’ve had a hard time in the COVID pandemic.
Atlanta has one of the best restaurant scenes in the Southeast, and with state of Southern cooking and an emphasis on the culinary arts at an all-time high, that’s saying something.
When Atlanta’s food is mentioned on a national level, it somehow always reverts back to sweet tea and fried chicken, although the city’s eateries certainly represent those dishes well, there’s so much more.
European-inspired restaurants, Mediterranean fare and Asian fusion all can be found in a 2-mile area of Midtown Atlanta, if we’re being honest. Venture up north a bit into Buckhead and you’ll have some of the best steakhouses as well as fast-casual spots in the city.
