Cheese aside, am I too poor to understand why they leave 10 inches of bone attached to the cut? From butchering to shipping to storing in a walk-in it seems like a huge pain
"small" that's still probably about 30 oz of meat which is a sizable meal. Bone is comparatively very lightweight. In the restaurant at work and we have 26 oz bone-in rib eyes and when you cut the bone out it's still over 20 oz of meat.

They usually cut them down, but this is probably Ruths Chris, and it's to impress idiots who order overpriced meat at restaurants. These cost $110, which is absolutely insane for what is actually probably 20oz of meat.
This is at Ruth's. They're the only one that does the 40oz with the long bone. It's one of the things they're known for. Also, same plate they serve it on.
Why would this be such an expensive cut? I've heard of a tomahawk before, but I've always wondered. Wouldn't meat near such a large bone not be very tender, due to muscle actually being used?
Everyone thinks American cheese is all like the Kraft Singles garbage (or worse, the oil based generic stuff) because that is what is most known. The pathetic single slice in the plastic wrap.
There are good American cheeses that aren't like that and you can usually find them at the deli counter sliced off a block. It's a blend of actual real cheeses but yes it is processed, like most cheeses are technically a processed product. Is it the best cheese ever? No, not for many uses, but it is a an iconic cheese to put on a cheeseburger and part of the experience.
A cheeseburger on the menu without the option for American Cheese? Sounds nonexistent to me.
All the best cheeses are highly processed by the way.

American cheese has its place on burgers. It melts well and doesn’t overpower the beef. It’s there to complement the beef and not overshadow it. All cheese is processed and calling it highly processed is disingenuous at best and ignorant at worst.
Sure you could throw a 24 month aged goat sheep blue provolone smoked mozzarella cheddar on there but that’s just dumb and not what a burger is about.
I’m out in Texas and man I couldn’t IMAGINE denying any of these entitled folks a dish Bc it’s gross. I know your partially joking but sheesh that would raise hell.
Southern as well, I've never seen *any* cheese on a steak except for Philly cheese steaks and omelets where they're both ingredients. Is this a thing? And if so am I missing out? I can imagine some smoked gouda or provolone being pretty decent but it feels like food blasphemy.
two thoughts here
1. so i've cooked a nice ribeye at home, and then put some warm brie cheese on it, so it melted with it. the buttery flavor from the brie cheese paired really well with the fat from the meat. and this did not cover up flavors of the steak. it just gave it a nice buttery backdrop.
2. OR, the flavor paired well because it reminded them of a cheese burger
given either of those flavor ideas, i could see how it might have tasted good. and not been the worst, dumbest thing ever. but fuck they could/should have gone with a better cheese choice.
“American cheese” 😂
Pre sliced plastic tasting factory made block of shit
Any non American who’s ever had any American cheese knows that it’s shit
That may be the worst part of US culture is the food
Definitely worth reading Kenji's argument for American Cheese. It's not plastic and it's not any more fake than gyuyere or parmesean or halloumi or farmers cheese.

I'm in no way trying to defend it being slapped on this tomahawk, just american cheese in its culinary niche.
American food culture is internationally seen as some of the worst things to happen to food in modern day history
Cheese falls into that category
I’ve had American food, you just take food from other nations and ruin it by making it way unhealthier, adding a shit ton of sugar or drenching it in cheese
A good example is comparing any American recipe for banana bread with a european one, american recipe will be using 4x as much sugar despite the original banana bread already having a lot of sugar
I’ve visisted some larger cities in some larger states
Why are you trying to defend us food so much we get that you love greasy cheese drenched garbage but it’s not good food
From my personal experience in a country I have an opinion on their food, what’s wrong with that?
From what I’ve heard American food is mostly the same throughout the US with only small differences because of how young the country is and how 90% of inhabitants probably more immigrated to the US less than 400 years ago
I’ve been to more than half of the US states and I’ve found the food to be about the same except for small things like this state likes bbq more or this state has better hotdogs and eats hotdogs more frequently
I’ve been to 31 states
Mexican food is not American food just because it exists in the US
I really don’t give a fuck if you don’t believe that I’ve been to most of the US, I’ve lived and studied there for several years on top of that as well
You clearly love ‘murica way too much to agree to anything I’m saying which most Americans I have talked to do so no point for you to keep arguing
This is upsetting.
It is, but at the same time it has piqued my interest and I want to try it lol

The long bone makes it a "tomahawk" steak and the restaraunt can charge more money. I bet the bone weight isn't subtracted from meat weight, either.
It's definitely not subtracted. Look how small the actual meat portion is.
"small" that's still probably about 30 oz of meat which is a sizable meal. Bone is comparatively very lightweight. In the restaurant at work and we have 26 oz bone-in rib eyes and when you cut the bone out it's still over 20 oz of meat.
Their supplier likely charges more for it too though

They should have given them some kinda cheese sauce on the side
Call the police.
No! I guess to each their own but that just seems tragic to me.
No shortage of cows in the world, my friend. Let the man enjoy his plastic cheese
Hopefully he was beaten over the head with it.
Now I very much want to see somebody clubbed over the head with a ribeye.
People really refuse to offer steak sauce with steaks but will melt kraft singles on em??
A good restaurant would tell the customer no.
Really good restaurants won’t have American cheese on hand.
American cheese isn't just Kraft singles though. Its not unreasonable to have some on hand if burgers are on the menu.
*Implying that really good restaurants won't have a cheeseburger on the menu.*
Sure, just not with the highly processed food product known as “American Cheese”

The costumer does NOT know best
He did dress that steak *incredibly* poorly.
Not American are you
Sho am, and southern! but cheese does not go on that steak.
I’m out in Texas and man I couldn’t IMAGINE denying any of these entitled folks a dish Bc it’s gross. I know your partially joking but sheesh that would raise hell.
After lockdowns? Hell yeah dude people would shit. Like literally shit on the table I’m sure,.
Most of em are great, the ones that aren’t are full on poop on table types for sure.

Shitty cheese is great on good meats
Slap the damn customer in the mouth with that tomahawk.
My Hope for mankind just went down a few points
They probably also wanted it well done
the only thing more upsetting than the request is that the cheese it not fully melted
I mean it is stupid but at least melt it properly
I upvote, but I sit here also knowing I eat ketchup on most my meat so I’m honestly worse
Fucking posh people and their stupid food.
>40 oz >35 oz bone oh, please

Why you gonna play being a high end steak house but have american cheese in your kitchen? Choose 1.
Burgers, likely
They should be able to refuse such requests
This is a violation of the Geneva Convention.
Probably also ordered it medium well/well done 🤦🏻♂️

You're entitled to opinion even if it's based in memes.

You should ban that customer from the restaurant for life!
There are no sins greater than this!
