Here We Go Again...More Steak...

Get ready get set Go...yet another steak restaurant is ready to set sail here in Sunny South Florida, yet this one has a name, a following, and not to mention hundreds of jelly Fish to go with it. The latest incarnation of the carnivors dream is brought to us by the highly acclaimed Philadelphia restauranteur Steven Star who gave us Morimotto as well as created many ofther "Star" restauarants in New York and in Philly. Now I am a big fan of Mr. Star, and have eaten in if not all but most of his restauarants and while I have to say they are very well done and well worth the price they yield, South Florida is not New York, and I guess not even Philadelphia, as you will soon come to realize, as I am a firm believer in the numbers and If his recent onslaught of help wanted ads is any indication as to his troubles yet to come...as well as the reality with the other recent out of town transplants to the area and the troubles they have walked into, this may just as well be another one of those big ticket items that will emerge and quickly be a memory of the SFla food scene. (Think Evolution) When will restauranteurs learn, stick with what you are good at and in this case its region-Creating over the top restaurants with amazing venues may work where a customer is willing to shell out big bucks but again this is sunny Sofla where half the people are tourists, the other half dont understand what good food is, half of them couldnt afford to eat out even one day a month and well the wealthy hire all the chefs for private work so what does that leave, the hotel guest or prisioner as I like to call them who has no other choice and or is too lazy to do some basic research to know they can get the same food for half the price down the road-ok well maybe there wont be a giant fish tank full of jell fish, and only a gold fish in a bowl but then again I wont have to pay out of my meal to feed them either...
