Does a bone-in ribeye provide a noticeable difference in taste as opposed to a boneless ribeye when dining at a premium steakhouse, or is it a marketing ploy and I am just paying extra for the bone?

I find that they usually do, yes. I've never understood how they justify charging more for doing less work, though.

Closer the bone, sweeter the meat.

Pay for the bone and don't worry about marketing ploys.

Order some fresh squeezed OJ to have with it.

I can't taste a difference, but it looks cooler

Screw that. I want some flavor packeted OJ. To go with my meat glued Filet Mignon.

To the OP: Not sure that the bone in does a whole lot for a quickly cooked/rare to med rare steak. I just don;t think the cooking time allows for the bone to give off flavor.

I think bone in helps more with roasts/ribs and items that take longer to cook, allowing the bones to do their thing.

I think a blind taste test is in order.

I have never tasted that big of a difference to really notice, so always go with the boneless ribeye. When I buy a whole rib roast I always cut the ribs off and have bbq beef ribs which are outstanding.

I think I would go blind, I saw a whole ribeye at 9.99/lb untrimmed that came to 170.00 yesterday. My New Years Eve propostion is to take up cattle rustling.

In reference to the OJ marketing thread. Probably page two or so. I can't link.

Albertsons has choice ribeye roast at $6.99 a pound and they are very good.

They will cut the bone off and tie back on which is what I do, they will cut off and give you separate and they will slice into steaks if you like.

It's a good deal.

I like it at home but never order it in a restaurant.. At home its ok for me to pick it up with my hands and start chewing on it. My wife staring at me wierd is better than a whole restaurant.

The best steak I've ever had a restaurant was a prime bone-in ribeye. Outstanding flavor and cooked perfectly.

The worst steak I've had was a prime bone-in Kansas city strip. No flavor, though it was cooked how I wanted.
