“ has this energy and presence,” she says. She booked a reservation to visit Nusr-Et in its second week, after seeing a TikTok video of the salting phenomenon. It’s dining as a sport, and the recently opened Nusr-Et, with its $1,100 gold foil–wrapped tomahawk steak, is the new medal of honor.Īmong those willing to spend the money is Dallas-based production company owner Kelly Bryant, who says she regularly goes to Nick & Sam’s and enjoys traveling to eat at new places.
Alongside celebratory birthday and anniversary dinners, those who are seemingly rolling in money-or wish to pretend to be for one night-go to partake in the ceremony of paying inordinate prices. Rather than just a place to be fed, the Dallas steakhouse is a place to be seen, in person and now online.

There are few Groupons or kids-eat-free nights instead, this is a saturnalian experience of affluence served with hunks of grilled red meat in a dining room full of glitterati. Today, finding a steak with sides for less than $60 is possible at only a few of the aforementioned Übersteakhouses-maybe during lunch, or for an eight-ounce filet, or with Fogo de Chão’s $53.95 “churrasco experience” with limitless cuts and salad bar. “About the only thing that isn’t a time warp is the check: $30 to $60 a person,” Sharpe wrote. Texas Monthly executive editor Patricia Sharpe called these cherished institutions the Übersteakhouses in her 1997 guide “The Elite Meat to Eat,” in which she writes that “sales at upscale beef palaces began to rocket” in the mid-nineties after the success of Outback Steakhouse and with the American public’s growing “lust for beef.” Americans began seeking out steak dinners at home and in restaurants. There’s also the inimitable Nick & Sam’s in flashy Uptown, where chances are high of spotting a Cowboy or Maverick on any given night of the week, and the chances of seeing aspiring fashion models are even better.įestal by nature, these purveyors of prime beef have never been a place to go for a budget meal. Addison, to the north, is home to the first location of the Fogo de Chão chain outside of Brazil. Dallas has been home to the massively successful Pappas Bros. Big D is also home to industry legends such as John Tesar’s Knife and the old-money Al Biernat’s, each with sister locations in the Metroplex. Multiple national chains originated in Dallas: Bob’s Steak & Chop House in ’93, III Forks in ’98. Dallas has spawned a generation of steak dynasties.
