Prior to Katrina when I had the urge for a huge ol' slab-o-beef was my favorite place to eat was Charlie's Steakhouse. Ohhhhh the O-Rings, Wedge salads, the look on a newbie's face when the waiter came to the table and asked small, medium, or large(refering to the T-bones), no menus, and those old warped plates.

Since the demise of Charlie's at the hands of Katrina, I began visting Ruth's Chris for my steak fix. Now before any of you start on me with you can't compare the two, I know that and I am not trying too.

The steak a medium T-Bone that came to my table was by no means the quality of pre-katrina Charlie's. My side dishes Potatoes Au-Gratin and Onion Rings were better than I had remembered, and those I had eaten Ruth's Chris.

Now here comes the bill and this is where the New Charlie's and Ruth's Chris do compare. For $5.00 more I could have had a better Steak from Ruth's than I was charged for that t-bone. I paid Ruth's prices for way less than Ruth's quality. Either that or I never really knew what a real value Ruth's Chris was.

I am still on my search in New Orleans without much luck for a Steak house that can compare to my new gold standard of Ruth's Chris. I think Dickie Brennans is next on my list.

Eat Well, Live Well, and GO TIGERS.

Great players from LSU got left off that list. Aw hell let it go we got the hardware that really matters. It takes great players playing as a TEAM to win those.

Like many others on this board my all CWS team would be the 2009 NCAA Baseball Champions the LSU Fighting Tigers.
