What a night. A great dinner. Great wife. Great whiskey and a dash of 1911's to finish it off.

I offer you the main course of grilled ribeye and onion, roasted asparagus with onion and garlic clove, tomato slices with balsamic reduction and fresh merlot parmesan. Dessert is a taste session of two rye whiskeys with a side of stainless 1911's.

Too many Americans never develop an appreciation for tequila, because all they've ever had is Cuervo Gold. I favor Don Julio Blanco myself...

Hornitos my man, Hornitos is where it is at. If you want a quality product that is.

The menu sounds great, but what about a starch? I would suggest steak fries, or a baked potato with butter and sour cream.

I love bourbon too. I should wait until after dinner to sip bourbon, but I drink it primarily before dinner. You get a better buzz that way. And I typically break out a 1911 or two to look at during my happy hour. Life is good.

Rye is close enough to bourbon hah. I do like Buffalo Trace as well as some Old Forester plus a bunch more. I also do nice peated scotch and scotch in general.

I like higher proof rye whiskey for its spice and forward flavor. It also makes a fantastic whiskey and coke! One of my fave rye is Saginaw.

I am learning some nice tequilas in the anejo and reposada styles.

I've tried a couple Rye Whiskeys that just didn't spin my crank. However, I have found several Bourbons, with high Rye bills, that do spin it. I've always been one to try new drinks and I do love the barrel strength higher ABV whiskies (Bourbons, Scotches, and Irish). Of course, they all go well with a good cut of beef.

Always remember, alcohol and gunpowder do not mix. Enjoy separately.

Well, ribeye is one of my two favorite cuts, but I thought everyone knew that bourbon goes best with a good steak. Rye is okay (if you're in to cocktails) but well...

Wife was at work. So I grilled two tenderloins (sauteed some baby spinach with a drizzle of EVOO and hickory smoked bacon pieces) for myself, sipped (well, maybe a little more'n a few fingers) some Buffalo Trace (after I tucked the DW CBOB in bed), watched a couple episodes of "Naked and Afraid" I'd recorded on the DVR, let the dogs out to do their business, and now, it's time for bed...

So, we've had "guns and knives" threads, "guns and watches" threads, "guns and condiments" threads, now "guns and whisky and steak" threads...

I like that we're branching out...

Ribeyes are OK, but, filet mignons are the best! Good choice. They're the only cuts that I buy. Oh, by the way, you sleep with your DW? My bedside gun is a Colt AR15 that sits between the night stand and the bed (not in the bed). And my night stand gun is a Beretta M9A3.

Delicious-looking steak and nice 1911s, but aside from that I'm not sure what we are supposed to be talking about.

I am thinking we need an "Off Topic" Section like Glock Forum where we can brag about great meals, movie reviews and such. Of course this could be something for the Premium Member Section too.

That's why there are guns in the pics LOL.

Off topic would be better IMO - that way the non pay members could join in as well.

Cousin Tom was pretty good at spinning yarns that way.

A ribeye along the Rio Grande should be accompanied by a good slug of sotol. On the border, real sotol usually comes in recycled Jose Cuervo bottles.
