“...but it did strike me as odd that a cattle rancher would visit a steakhouse.”
He’s either a spy trying to see what the, ‘competition’ is up to, or he KNOWS what they’re up to and wants to blow the lid off of said, ‘competition!’ ;)
Either way, I’ll pass. Ugh! Plenty of ways to get protein into your diet in the first place besides real OR fake meats.
Tuna, Salmon, Cottage Cheese, Lentils, Beans, Nuts, Eggs, Yogurt (Greek), Quinoa, Peanut Butter, Shrimp, and my favorite - Vodka. LOL! Just Kidding. Maybe. :)
Steak is but one of many fine proteins.
I often cook with lentils, beans, and quinoa. I don’t like my yogurt greeked though - no whey!
