HOMESTEAD STEAKHOUSE – MEATPACKING – DINNER

October 21, 2016 8:50 pm

I had such high hopes for Homestead.

First, it’s just a few blocks away from my apartment. I had envisioned making my way there in the midst of a fierce snowstorm to warm my frozen hands on a hot steak.

Instead, I met a friend there on a hot Indian Summer’s night for a mediocre steak and a super expensive burger.

The place is not all bad. The burger was tasty, as were the onion rings that sat atop the Roomba-sized burger patty.

The “Chef’s Special Bread Preparation” was pure, delicious insanity. Rectangular shaped, buttery slices of Texas Toast sat atop a lovely pond of parmesan garlic sauce. This dish still haunts my dreams.

The Iceberg Wedge salad is all once could want. A gallon of nummy blue cheese dressing drenching an entire 1/2 head of lettuce with enormous strips of bacon and a few pointless cherry tomatoes.

I would have been totally satisfied just eating those two items (washed down by two Manhattans, thank you very much) but I had to go and order the $32 filet mignon burger.

The only reason I’m not more irritated with that decision is because my dear friend paid for the entire dinner. You’re the best, C!

C ordered the Rib Eye, which was overly fatty and under seasoned. And she’s from Texas, so she knows her steaks! For $52 bucks, we expected a little more.

Would I come back if that snowstorm I was talking about ever hit? Yes. For cocktails and apps. No need to bother with the steak at this steakhouse. Vegetarians apply within!
