steak and butt
it will be a fine weekend for meat.

Saturday night has out in Boston to enjoy a dinner at Ruth’s Chris steakhouse with our siblings. This dinner is a gift from my parents to the kids from about 20 months ago which we are now finally enjoying. I ate at another famous steakhouse chain, Morton's, in St. Louis maybe 6 years ago. Trey and I were there on business and ate on the cheap for the week, saving our per diem so that we could have a nice dinner out. I remember being fairly disappointed in the steak however. So I’m interested to see what Ruth’s Chris has to offer.

And on Saturday/Sunday Dad and I will be taking our first shot at some real BBQ. I’m bringing my smoker up to his place and we’ll be cooking some pork butt. Brine it, dry rub and then into the smoker for about 12 hours probably. I’ve seen this done on TV and read about it so many times that I’m really looking forward to finally cooking one ourselves.
