Steak is overrated. There are just much better ways to spend your money on food.

I would rather eat steak than sushi, quality produce, eggs, herbs or spices.

You just said Sushi was better than steak. Please dont procreate.

I think because he was a big guy and needed more than the food he ordered, so he took some of mine.
