I found a quiet spot to eat and avoid prying eyes as I

thought about my food as I chewed it. It was good on

its own, although it could have used a little sauce. It

wouldn’t be great in that sense, but it was still a tasty

treat. Like any good ribeye steak, it pulled apart in my

teeth with ease. Eating a steak always makes me feel

like a carnivore as it rips apart, and this one was no

different. By the time I was done, there was a sizable

piece of bread left. Perfect; just enough to soak up the

remaining grease in the paper.

Overall, I recommend the ribeye at Taft’s. You may

want to add toppings, but that’s your choice, reader.

Mine was just fine the way it was.

I ordered a ribeye steak sandwich, an old

favorite. My mouth watered as the strip of

meat hit the grill behind the counter. The

young woman in the booth flipped it a few

times, seasoned it, and flipped it again. I

looked over to see my choice of toppings

while I waited. There were tomatoes,

pickles, onions, and the typical layout

of condiments. I thought it was odd that

there wasn’t any steak sauce. Then again,

a good ribeye has sauce, but a great ribeye

doesn’t need anything.

I like the way my sandwich was presented.

The top half of the bun was placed on the

meat just briefly before joining its other

half, so the bread was nice and warm.

There’s nothing worse than cold bread

with a hot ribeye; it’s unnatural (even if

cold ribeyes are second only to cold pizza

in terms of leftovers).
