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!
