new steakhouse in Hilo

[terracore]

I love their motto: "THE BEST EVERYDAY STEAKHOUSE & SEAFOOD IN HILO."

Nothing says "everyday" like washing a $140 steak down with a $340 whisky!

They are making a bit of money on that 30 year old scotch... sells for $1200 a bottle in NYC.

And probably $100 at Costco under the Kirkland label.

Only partially tongue in cheek. I won't go into details (there are scotch forums for such) but some of the Kirkland scotches are amazing values when you look at the actual product.

And not one decent Irish whiskey. I won't be visiting soon, not that I could afford it anyway.

32 oz Tomahawk Australian MS6 Wagyu Rib Eye... $140

Granted, two pounds of beef in one sitting is a lot of meat.
But back in the day when I was growing up on a farm, I don't believe the entire cow cost that much.

From the photo, that's 32 ounces with the bone-in.

that's 32 ounces with the bone-in.

Still a fair amount of meat, and fair comparison with my cow on the hoof.  Which also included bones.

Where are those unemployment restaurant cards when we need them.

Like Island Naturals, I am neither poor or wealthy enough to eat / shop there.

I got a rock.

One dinner there or a week’s worth of groceries.....
