Steak

This isn't supposed to be an advertisement, and it has nothing to do with coffee, but I just have to write it.

If you eat steak, you have to go to Harvard Meat Market on the corner of 15th and Harvard.

Isaiah bought a huge ribeye for me from there on my birthday and since then I've bought steak there a half-dozen times. But now I'm a devoted fan. I won't buy steak anywhere else. I mean it. Not even in a pinch. Their steak is so good that eating anything else is out of the question. If I can't have GREAT steak, I won't eat steak at all. I haven't had a bad piece of meat there yet. These cuts of meat are thick and beautiful. They are grass-fed beef, until the last month before slaughter when they try to fatten them up. And it has just the right amount of fat on it. So tender.
I grilled a huge ribeye yesterday- medium rare- and it just confirmed to me that there is no other meat I'd rather eat.

I don't even know these guys. I just know that they know what they're doing. I go in, ask for their recommendation, and buy it.

The Harvard Meat Market is like the DoubleShot of steak. Amazing. You have to try it.
