I do not know the vintage of this photograph. This might be from a long gone advertising campaign.

{Edited: and so it is. Per Celerity, it is from Father's Day 2011. Thanks, Celerity.}

Morton's Steakhouse should rethink its billboards:

1. Ouch...

I think I sprained something with that eyeroll.

[tanyev]

2. Ah, no wonder Boof likes to eat there.

[Shermann]

3. That's pretty lame

Gee, how can we alienate half of our potential customer base?

[Mysterian]

6. They don't care

With that type of thinking, they assume the big man will just take his little woman wherever HE wants to eat.

[Tickle]

4. lol I think it is a moo

for cows as they cut a steak

[Captain Zero]

11. Is Devin Nunes in the thread?

Moo!

[Tickle]

5. I don't think that company is long for this world.

[Tickle]

14. I don't know about that

Have you ever dined there? I can’t afford to on my own but at one time my vendors could. The food was spectacular. If you are a steak eater of course. That was a different time maybe things have changed

17. Is it really better than other good steak houses? I mean like Ruth Christ's?

I only eat steak rarely and when I do I get a really good steak. I would never order a steak at an Applebee's. Maybe it is better from there but I don't know. I doubt however that they are the only ones who know how to procure and cook a really good steak.

21. I only ear steak medium rarely. Other than that , I agree with you.

Legumes and rice and fruits and veggies sustain me just fine. But a few times a year, depending on the phase of the moon or something, I find a USDA Prime New York strip. Never eaten at Morten’s, but I’ve heard it’s reputable steak house.
Now with all of the truthfulness out of the way, the demographic appeal of that add punches some buttons for e.

27. That's a well done subject line.

22. Morton's is not as good as Ruth's Chris. It used to be, but has went downhill from all that I have

read. I have never eaten at a Morton's, but I do work with (here in Stockholm) an born and raised American bloke, a commodities trader, who is much older than I am. He worked in Chicago, and lived in a hi-rise called Newberry Plaza (which he said had a glass-enclosed large jungle with a waterfall in the lobby and a tonne of famous people, like Bob Hope, etc, with full or part-time flats there) whilst he was a local at the Chicago Board of Trade in the 1980's.

That building complex is where the first Morton's was, along with the founder's (Arnie Morton) crown jewel resto, Arnie's. He (my co-worker) said both were amazing back in the day. I actually called him up yesterday to ask him about all this (after the Kavanaugh incident), as I knew his background a bit, and he talked my leg off, LOLOLOL, which is par for the course with him, as he has had a crazy life and is an absolutely wonderful story-teller.

The two best steaks in the US I personally had at 'chains' were the filet mignon at The Palm in Los Angeles, and porterhouse for two at Peter Luger (if that counts as a 'chain') in Brooklyn.

26. If you want a good steak, come to Tampa

https://bernssteakhouse.com/

And a good glass of wine. Bern's has the largest wine list of any restaurant in the world.

[GoneOffShore]

28. Interesting list - And there are some excellent finds on it.

A bit pricey in some cases, but still good.

Steaks look well priced.

[randr]

7. Because chunks of square meat are manly?

Kinda dissin the guys imo

[The Jungle 1]

8. Tem dar mens are smartly

Salmonella, Clostridium perfringens, E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes, and Campylobacter . Symptoms of food borne illness include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, fever, and headache.
I encourage the right to eat more raw meat.

9. It was a Father's Day promotion!

[notKeith]

10. Here's an idea

[KY_EnviroGuy]

13. I guess their menu has nothing but photos of steaks for knuckle draggers.

Injustice Brett K-Naw feels right at home........

[Irish_Dem]

15. Real men eat steak and rape women.

[bucolic_frolic]

16. Beefcake mentality

It's mental cannibalism

20. Good find, thanks. nt

[Marthe48]

19. Soylent Green with testosterone anyone?

Maybe because I've got a twisty mind

[Paladin]

23. Plenty of other, better steak joints in my area. (nt)

[BannonsLiver]

24. That piece of meat on the billboard is still mooing

Jesus, why not just eat it raw.

[AwakeAtLast]

25. A perfect Medium Rare
