When I was in KC as a P&G rep (1984-86), Hereford House was one of my calls. Quite good.. But there are several top steakhouses in and around Kansas City, and one not to miss is JESS & JIM'S down in Martin City, all the way south on Metcalf to about 135th St.. They cut and age their own steaks, and have one of the best baked potatoes in the country.. (Also in Martin City is Town House BBQ which is great and Smokestack (?) BBQ as well...) If steak is your bag, and it's not mine, I can give you a couple of others: OMAHA: Johnny's in the Yards is great.. Went there after a big day with my pal Phil on my only visit to Ak-Sar-Ben.. TAMPA: Bern's is one of the best in the country.. CHICAGO: I've mentioned Erie Cafe before, and I get the veal, but the steaks are tremendous.. RALIEGH: The Angus Barn is a legendary place.. While I was with P&G in Charlotte, had a great date there after a Winn-Dixie store opening with a girl named LuAnn Bowen who was a junior at NC State.. I actually don't remember the meal, but I remember LuAnn.. SAN DIEGO: Rainwater's is a fabulous place downtown, though I haven't been there in ages.. MONTREAL: Moishe's, the famed Kosher steakhouse.. Queue de Cheval, a 'newer' institution.. ALBANY: The Bears' is west of Albany in Duanesberg and is more or less a private club.. Chateaubriand (call ahead two days).. Jack's Oyster House, one of the oldest restaurants in the U.S., is still one of my favorite places too..
