A "real" road house is not found in or around urban areas. They are often connected to a filling station and a general store kind of place, but can also be standalone. Mostly they are like diners or biker bars, patronized by the locals. There might be live music, dancing or whatever entertains the folks. They are by no means "fine dining" establishments. Hard but mostly good folk run them. City slickers are often treated warily or even rudely."Texas Steak" is a big ass rib cut, with or without bone. It has to be aged at least 30 days. Cooking is done in a fire pit or a big grill (depends on where you happen to be and what the local preference is). Mesquite is absolutely required. The only seasoning put on the steak is salt, pepper, onion and garlic powders, maybe a hit of cayenne. Seasoning is done at room temperature for 2-3 hours before cooking. It is not marinated or buried under a rub. A separate gravy may be served with for dipping...but anyone adding any salt, pepper, or anything else when served gets one hell of a stink-eye. Road houses may or may not serve Texas Steak, but grilled steak of some sort is always on the menu, along with chicken-fried steak (often gets bigger billing than grilled). No matter how lousy the service might be (by big city standards), you always show your good manners, especially toward the ladies. |
