I'll never forget the time we had a $50 gift certificate to that place and went there and feasted on $50 worth of sides. They thought we were nuts.

And the sides weren't all that good…
Then maybe you should have tried the steak…

Actually, there are some good promotions floating around out there for 2 steak dinners at Morton's for $99. That gets you 2 salads, 2 steaks, a choice of scallops/shrimp/crab cake for 2, 2 sides, and 2 desserts. All in all, a pretty phenomenal deal.

At the Golden Goose in LA (across from the airport) you can have a damn good steak and see strippers at the same time. Health codes prevent the naked strippers from actually serving the steak themselves, which makes sense to somebody.

There's also a great steak/stripper joint in Austin, TX for you SXSWers, but I don't remember the name of it.

No Brazillian Steak Houses in DC yet?

If true, then that has my vote. I have absolutely no factual basis for this, but I'm pretty sure Brazilian Steak houses were brought to America for Bachelor Parties. Whenever I've been to one, I've been on a bachelor party and it seems everyone else in the restaurant is there with a bachelor party.

omg, smackie, i have our next million-dollar venture: open a strip club that features brazilian dancers AND serves brazilian steak (brazilian style). all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-ogle. we'd totally corner the bachelor party market… we'd only have to work 2 days a week (fri & sat). BRILLIANT.

I have a much better work ethic than you think. If we opened such a place (and we TOTALLY should - we can call it "Sweet-Smackie's Brazilians & Steak House"), I'd work 7 nights a week, no doubt about it.

Great idea…Brazilian steak to go with your Brazilian wax. Sounds hot.

personally, i'd hope to not make it 7 nights a week… a certain someone would wonder what the hell i'd be doing away from home all the time.

oh, something just occurred to me… "uh, honey, remember how we were going to buy some real estate together? i've got an even better idea…" yeah, let's how far that conversion goes :eek:

luckily this idea is bullet-proof, we'll have no probs attracting external investors.

Smackette is on the hospital rounds today so I haven't heard her thoughts on the idea yet. She did ask me for some good ideas on how to spend our tax refund. This is easily the best I've heard yet.

And venerable has already submitted his request to be part of the casting crew. He wants the job of "before checking the "brazilian" part, better make sure of the "woman" part first." I can't think of anyone better, not to mention how we're going to get that on a business card.

from a blog posting i made last year after a day of guns, meat, beer, poker, sports, and strippers:



"Thursday, May 10, 2007
…this day reminded me of one of my million dollar ideas, so i thought i would lay it out here so i have a record if anyone tries to steal my idea:

DUDES: a steakhouse/bbq joint/brewery/sports bar/shooting range/strip club/casino.

i can't see how it could be anything but a huge success. i want credit (and money) if anyone makes this happen."

good question. we'd need a big market to tap into, so i'm thinking LA or NYC. vegas would also be a good location, given that's it a prime bachelor party destination. we could even add a small casino.

I can't find the exact quote but it reminds me of Bart Simpson's favorite place: the candy-puppy-fireworks store.

Bart: What are you gonna do to me?
Skinner: Bart, not all Community Service is gang warfare and dangerous infection, and to illustrate that point here's where you'll be working. [he points, apparently, to a storefront]
Bart: [excited] The Fireworks, Candy, and Puppy dog store?
Skinner: No, no, no. Next to it.

Abe: Settle a bet: Boil or mole? [points to it]
Bart: [groans]
