What is so Special About a Tomahawk?

[JLinza]

I agree that its mostly for looks or presentation. But I do like the thickness of them. I never see a regular ribeye that thick around here. Ill only get one if Lagrees has them on a "Managers Special" sale

Looks is about it. I cooked up 2 once about 5 years ago. Local meat market had a full Prime Dry aged loin, I forgot the price but were expensive. I saw they had it I figured what the hell, I'll do it to say I did it (plus I was drinking). Had the girlfriend drive me over there and had them cut 2 for me.

Was in impressive looking, hell yes. Was it great tasting, hell yes. Worth the price, hell no!

I just did one the other night... Mine were much cheaper... Looking at the imaginary bone sticking out of the thick Ribeye that was getting scorched on the grill....

So Yea, That's a NO for me....
