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.

You're wrong. It used to be. It's basically Sizzler now

I’ll admit that my love of the sizz is somewhat in jest.

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