T-Bone Steak
How It's Used
“When General Electric Co. Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Immelt needed advice on a thorny pay problem a few months back, he got it at Gorat’s Steak House in Omaha. That’s where Warren Buffett likes to hold court, usually over his standard meal of a rare T-bone steak, double order of hash browns and a Cherry Coke.” —Monica Langley, “In Tough Times for CEOs, They Head to Warren Buffett’s Table: Billionaire Investor’s Counsel Influences Pay, Reforms: Berkshire’s Low Grade: A $35 Dinner with Bill Gates,” The Wall Street Journal, November 14, 2003, p. A1. “U.S. cattle ranchers were having their best year in a decade in 2003. Prices were up, supplies were tight (in part due to restrictions on Canadian imports), and consumers enamored with the Atkins diet were scarfing down T-bones.” —Douglas Gantenbein, “Mad Cows Come Home: Why the disease scare may be great for the U.S. food industry and consumers,” Slate, January 2, 2004. "All the chefs are making hamburgers for the first time, and they are uncertain about the exact cuts of beef they are using. Mr. Alléno, for example, simply relies on his butcher, Yves-Marie Le Bourdonnec, whose shop, Le Couteau d’Argent, is in the Paris suburb Asnières.
"For Mr. Alléno’s burgers, Mr. Le Bourdonnec delivers a mix of chuck and beef rib. But the butcher thinks the American T-bone steak is an ideal cut. The T-bone does not exist in France, but to make his point, Mr. Le Bourdonnec made his own. He combined a piece of filet, which is tender but less flavorful, with a piece of contrefilet, which is marbled and tasty, but slightly less tender." —Jane Sigal, "In Paris, Burgers Turn Chic," The New York Times, July 16, 2008.
