I recently returned from a five day trip to Florida for a knife show and to see the sights. You know I had to visit a couple of steak houses and Charley's in Orlando was first on my list. It did not dissapoint.
Charleys is a high end chain restaurant owned by the 'Talk of the Town' restaurant group. There is a dress code and the interior is very steak house classy. The waiter was well versed in the menu. I only mention that because it did take him a long time to recite all the specials and special cooking techniques. I can happily say the "Crumb Sweeper" was present. This was the icing on the cake for this special dinner.
I ordered a 21 dry aged bone-in New York strip steak which set me back 99. dollars. (steak only, everything was a-la-carte). I am not sure why I mentioned the price but it is comparable to San Francisco prices. This steak was cooked on a wood fire to a perfect medium rare. This steak was so yummy that it has to be put on my all time steak memory list. The dry aging lent to a certain funkiness that I crave. This was steak house greatness at its finest. Good times!
