Cincinnati is Jeff Ruby territory. The only way I could afford to dine there was when I was playing in one of his supper clubs.
MY FIRST TOMAHAWK LAST NIGHT
- Thread starter chief38
- Start date
Believe it or not,but I was in COSTCO today ( I know I'm retired and can go anytime during the week CRAZY RIGHT?)
Anyway there was the meat guy loading up a section with TOMAHAWK steaks
He told me they were flying out the door, I said yeah until they finish and say... I paid how much for a pound of BONE
He laughed and said SOOO TRUE!!

OhhhKay, now what do you slice 'em with?
That’s not a bad question! But I have options for cutlery! I gave my larger hammer drill with the flat head chisel attachment to my 1st born male child!

It brought back memories of when I learned to throw a tomahawk at a Pow Wow.

I saw some in my Costco here too - and I said to my wife let's shop and we will pick them up on the way out. Guess what..... they disappeared! Next time I will grab them while they are there!

BTW, I am aware a Tomahawk is just a Ribeye with the big bone in, but for some strange reason it tastes so much better than a normal bone in Ribeye. Haven't figured that one out quite yet.
Regarding the bone: Proper etiquette is to grasp the bone firmly in your hand, extend your pinkie, and gnaw away, occasionally reaching across the table to offer a bite to your wife or significant other (if warranted by the relationship).
Regarding BEEF, I've heard that the closer to bone, the sweeter the beef. I like that built-in handle. They sell some kind of lamb or something that looks like that but I don't think I've ever had it.
Rib eyes & Delmonicos are pretty much standard steak materials around here (my house). A good Porterhouse that the butcher didn't cut away the filet to a tiny two-bite piece of meat is my all time go to.
Today I cleaned out the crud on the bottom of my (electric) smoker and decided to use it on 3 ears of corn, two ribeyes, and a split baking potato all at once. Other than pre nuking the potato before I put it in, it was a breeze and everything came out great. It would've been Dad's 98th birthday so I hope he was helping me out a bit! For my needs, that electric smoker is perfect. Die-hard grillers cringe at propane and electricity, but as long as it tastes good, then I'm all for the convenience.
Now to find a Tomahawk steak for the grill.
The local Wallymart up here has tomahawk steaks every time I go there. Sometimes they go fast other times they get a yellow tag. Reduced price as the sale date is that day. Bought one. Yellow tag read save $16.78. Reduced to $18.99. Bought it and cooked on the smoker. Very nice, but hard to distinguish from a regular ribeye.
Those are lamb chops you’re referring to. They are delicious. We get the petite ones and put a little crumbled blue cheese on them as an appetizer. There ain’t nuttin like mutton.
The last steak I had still had the marks where the jockey was whipping it!

How much were they per pound?
Especially if you’re eating it at home, and can pick it up by the bone and eat it “caveman” style!

Problem with ribeyes these days are that the cap is non existent. Used to be I would get one an inch and a quarter-cook on the grill and then separate the cap from the eye. Wife got te eye, I got the cap and everyone was happy. Plus sometimes I was able to snag the wife's left over eye when there was some.
As far as tomahawks, I was never big on paying prime beef price for bone-especially now that Angus is gone.

Since moving 3 years ago, we now have a home with an outdoor kitchen and since the weather is always warm (or at least not cold) I BBQ at least 2-3 times a week, rain or shine. We also have a very nice Blaze BBQ grill and it has many attributes I never had in a grill before. It took me a while of experimentation but I now truly feel confident that I can BBQ a Ribeye better than most any restaurant can. Not because I am a master Chef (far from it) but I buy really good steaks to start with. I learned how to season them, cook them and make sure they have just the right amount of bark on them. Everyone we know down here likes their steaks done rare - medium rare, so there is never an issue of cooking it 5 different ways on the same grill.
While I enjoyed the hell out of the Tomahawk steak we had Friday evening and we do tend to eat out 2-3 times a week (we love trying new restaurants), the quality of the steaks I can grill here are usually better than what we get at all but a very few restaurants. That said, it's very nice to be served and not have to do the massive clean up after having a bunch of couples over.
We've eaten enough steak over the last two years that I relish the idea of a good slice of Pizza, Chinese food and a good Burger and Hot Dog every so often. Tonight we had my wife's home made Burgers - the best!
BTW, my wife and I tend to like a bit more bark on the steak than some do. This particular steak was just for us. Some like less bark so I accommodate them by cooking it to their liking. The 2 steaks on the grill were NY Strips, not Ribeye's. Sometimes I will buy the Strips if they look good and are on sale - but normally we are Ribeye Guys all the way!

The Boys are gone... a pound of Filet Mignon, about $25/26,and we're are good to go!
Nice set up ya got there, Chief. I like the covered outdoor grilling spot, the exhaust hood, and dining table.
Been thinking about maybe getting an awning for part of my deck so as to be able to grill and/or just sit out there when raining or when the sun's really strong.

Thank you Sir! WE enjoy it when brutally hot and or in the summer rainy season too. Before we bought this new home, I never even heard of Blaze! All the components including the fridge is also the same brand - pretty good. The fridge is 6 cubic feet which doesn't sound like much but it is usually filled with beer, soft drinks, juices and mixers. That in turn gives us a whole lot more room in the house fridge. My wife is certainly happy about that !
Old picture - Right this moment, it is packed - couldn't get a toothpick in - HA!

Not really a Tomahawk.
However, i wait until Kroger's has bone in rib roast and cut it into thick bone in steaks then cook them to my liking on the weber kettle. At $8.99 a pound i can make believe they are Tomahawks

Chief based on original post I’ll assume you live in Naples. If you want good pizza and a great atmosphere try Joey’s on Marco. Great wood fired pizza. We usually just sit at the bar. Then you have ice cream options within walking distance.
