Beyond USDA Prime Grading for Steakhouses

I’m honored to have been interviewed and featured by Tasting Table, where I had the opportunity to share my perspective on what truly defines a great steakhouse.

While many people look for USDA Prime as a sign of quality, I believe the best steakhouses go beyond grades. They tell the complete story behind the beef, from the farm and breed to the feeding program, aging process, and cooking method. That’s what creates a truly memorable dining experience.

A big thank you to the Tasting Table editorial team and to @the.buslife.kitchen for the thoughtful interview and for helping bring these conversations about beef quality to a wider audience.
