Steak is one of my favorite proteins. The problem for me has always been that my dad and now my son make such good steaks, I find any I have in restaurants to be lacking. Not the case with these picks:
Filet Mignon at Carolina Cafe in Gaffney, SC
Mills Family Farm Ribeye Steak with beef jus from Heirloom in Charlotte, NC
Pan roasted barrel cut Angus filet with roasted portabellos, puff pastry & a white-truffle sherry reduction from Paramount Grill in Gainesville, FL
Steak dinner at Willow Creek Inn in Vale
Ray’s Mixed Grill (The elk was my favorite!) at the Gamekeeper in Boone, NC
Filet Mignon at Safari Miles in Denver, NC
Bone-in Filet at Link and Pin in Huntersville

Filet from Supperland in Charlotte
Beef Tenderloin with Butter Poached Lobster at Capital Grille in Charlotte
Tomahawk Steak from The Crunkleton in Charlotte
Pepper Crusted Stuffed Filet Mignon from Firefly in Panama City Beach, FL
