What is so Special About a Tomahawk?

So what is the big draw to them? I look at them in Costco and they look like a little piece of meat and a huge bone. What am I missing?

Nothing, youre paying aot of extra money for a big hunk of bone you cant eat. I dont see the purpose of a tomahawk steak

Other than the "Cool factor" because they are all the rage on the interwebs, you aren't missing anything.

You do it once, take pictures, can say you’ve done it forever in the future.

Well,,, it’s most usually a very thick cut rib steak. That in itself is worth something if you enjoy rib steak.

I like it for the ridiculousness factor. Now granted, I've never had one since beef prices went crazy, but on my birthday I tend to request silly things that I would never do on a regular basis. Usually it's a crazy thick T-bone cut that our little family of 3 eats and we still have leftovers.

No real purpose to me other than that.

Simply esthetics... ribeye that you get to pay EXTRA for not removing the bone, which you can't eat!

Cooked bones splinter easily and can be very harmful to dogs.
