8th Street Steakhouse.

This morning was another morning spent on the mountain. While riding, I ran into my friend Matt, the one I went with to San Diego, who told me of a ridiculous deal that went down tonight at the 8th Street Steakhouse. According to Matt, the deal was steak for $2.99, so naturally, we had to check this out.

After an afternoon spent between The Office and working on my final business plan for my Entrepreneurial Operations, Tyler came and picked up Bacon and I and headed down to 8th St. We probably should have seen this coming, but it was packed. We put our names in and were told it was a 40 minute wait. Thankfully for us, tonight was the last night for free coffee or tea at the Steaming Bean just a couple blocks from the Steakhouse. On the way, we stopped in Urbane, a super sick clothing store here in town. Unfortunately, it's a really expensive store, so none of picked up anything.

So after getting our tea and hanging out with a few other CMCers, we rolled back to the Steakhouse and got our table and soon found out the deal was even better than we thought. I waitress informed us that not only was there a $2.99 steak deal, but we could get the all-you-can-eat salad bar for an extra $1.99, so needless to say, we all got salad and steak. They also had some shrimp and fish you could get for $2.99 as well.

The best part about 8th Street Steakhouse is the fact that you cook your own steak. When you get your table, they give you your ticket that you take to the meat counter to pick out your meal. You can also order some sides at the meat counter like delicious garlic potatoes or sweet potato fries. From there, you head across the restaurant to the grill and throw your meat on. At the grill they have a ton of seasoning including garlic, seasoning salt, regular salt and pepper, and lemon pepper, along with Worshtershire (or however you spell it) and teriyaki sauce. There's also bread for Texas Toast by the grill so you can have a delicious snack/appetizer while grilling.

So we grubbed out as much as we could, going back for seconds on the salad and Texas toast, and ended up only having to pay about $5.50. I'm not sure if this is a reoccurring event or not, but you can be sure we'll be back if it happens again. Peace.
