Do you ever take along a knife specifically to use at table when attending a BBQ or visiting a steakhouse for a meal?

So I'm sittin' in this Steakhouse, and after looking over the menu...


...I ordered the ribs!
Problem solved!

Did you bring your own napkins or wipes?

Wait you're wearing pants to a steakhouse? What about seconds?

 

[Drop bear]

Was it? Huh. I guess I didn’t realize because it wasn’t followed by “Thank you! I’ll be here all week. Try the meatloaf, but don’t expect to be able to cut it with the silverware they provide.”

You need the snare drum sound.

Who the heck looks at a menu in a steakhouse?

Thanks Garcon; I will have the chimken breast!

These days, I don't eat as much as I used to, so I can just let the belt out a notch or two, and undo the top button on my jeans.

And NOOOooo, I'm NOT gonna unzip. THAT would be uncouth....

Clever, and probly works, too! But, still uncouth.....

I just take a bucket of BBQ to the knife store when I got a hankering for some testing.

BBQ shouldn't need a knife. It's supposed to be tender.

 

[eveled]

If you do it right nobody will even notice.

I like steak sliced not torn.

If you can’t cut a steak without dulling your knife. You either have an extremely delicate edge or you need practice.

CUT THE MEAT NOT THE PLATE!

Seriously cutting steak on a plate is the least abusive thing I’ve done with my knives. Even cutting cardboard is way more abusive.

So you dont cut the meat all the way through then?

Because if you do cut it and the steel meets the stoneware, any fine edge you had will suffer if it hits it.

That's why I prefer a serrated knife for this, let the peaks of the serrations take the damage and the valleys stays sharp.

So you never use your knife in any application where it might lose some of its sharpness?

Tender meat still requires a knife if you wish to slice it.

The finest BBQ in the world -- Santa Maria Style BBQ, requires slicing. The cleaner and crisper the slice, the better.

No, I don't like to drag a keen edge accross stone..

As I said that is a job for serrations.

You seem to confuse opinion and fact on a regular basis.

Of course! I don't leave the house without handkerchief.

 

[deltablade]

one of these. I dont like to use my better knifes on glass plates. these inexpensive long blades work fine for cutting steak or cutting burgers in half. as to restaurant knives, the best I ever saw was at a Texas BBQ joint where they had 6" old hickory butcher knives secured with a string hanging at each corner of the table. all had been used for years and had developed great patinas. apparently some patrons got in a dispute and used the knives for cutting other than Q, and the knives are no more.

 

[tinfoil hat timmy]

I'm going to start taking a bk9 or battle mistress to restaurants.

that should be ok right?
