Secret? In a public restaurant with every table full. FAKE headline
...Latin for a hundred, centum...
I imagine relatedly, C is the Roman numeral for 100
She probably hasn’t watched any film noir movies.
Grew up on a farm and raised all our meat. Steak wasn’t a big deal and we, often as not, had porterhouse or T-bone and eggs for breakfast - all fried - with steak gravy and homemade biscuits. Everything was fried and well done. Grill steak? Maybe the city folks did, not farm people.
Anyone else bothered by this first line:
“12:01 PM Saturday, February 25th: I received a tip from a well informed source that Trump would be dining at the BLT Steakhouse inside his Trump hotel at approximately 6 PM that evening. “
well-informed source???????????? WHAT ON EARTH!!
Unless this is Trump trolling the press - this is pure garbage to have someone leaking this detailed info.
I love this! Great reporting and great story......;)
It may be an intentional tip to a friendly reporter.
Notice the table he got..just how did he get that table..and how was he allowed to spend HOURS there.
I read this story, including the photos and videos, on FR last night. It was absolutely uplifting and exhilarating. This is a must read for everyone.
One of my older nephews put catsup on mashed potatoes. I got to thinking about it and it makes a little sense. He was just a toddler when he started.
could seem so. guy *was* pretty straight-up in his accounting of the event.
My Boss is Italian like I am.
He HATES Tomatoes, yet he loves Pasta Sauce.
Boggles my mind. #;^)
It might very well have been overlooked while reading the story but it wasn't the waiter who was tipped, it was the BUSBOY............
Whatever tip was given would have been included in the payment of the bill...........
I did too. We often had pork chops for breakfast or fried chicken. We ate what we wanted at the time. Food tasted better back then especially veggies and fruits.
Benny is a regular customer at that restaurant so his source is likely one of the wait staff or other.......No big deal
And it was his money not ours.
That’s how I like my steaks. Smothered in catsup.
Can’t beat pork chops, eggs, biscuits and gravy for breakfast. Of course that means somebody has to get up early and actually cook which my mom always did before she got dressed and left for her job in town. Would suspect lots of today’s generation only knows how to fix something if you just add water and heat in the microwave - including my daughter-in-law.
“HORRORS! Ketchup on a fine aged New York Strip!”
Blasphemy exceeded only by the notion he ordered it well done. I’m tempted to call “fake news”.
In the film “Wheeler Dealers” James Garner’s character orders his steaks crunchy and keeps sending them back to be cooked more.
It wasn't until I was much older that I discovered just how delicious a juicy medium-rare or rare steak could be.
Don't forget that before the 1970s, store-bought meat was often sketchy. Sometimes meat would sit on supermarket loading docks for hours before it got put in a cold space. So people would cook it all the way through to make sure there was no bacteria left.
