Fifty-one dollars separated the two plates. On one side, the priciest cut at Gordon Ramsay Steak: a $120 wagyu filet. On the other, the cheapest steak at Papi Steak, running $69. One writer at Business Insider ordered both, ate both, and picked a side.
The cheaper one won. The $69 steak beat the $120 wagyu, at least for this eater. Turns out the number on the menu doesn’t always cook the meat.
That $51 gap between the wagyu filet and the $69 cut is buying you a story about marbling, not a better dinner. Menu prices at celebrity-name steakhouses ride on the name over the meat, and past a certain grade your tongue stops keeping score. Order the cheaper cut, pocket the difference, and let the guy at the next table pay for the ceiling.
