The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for February 16, 2025

Brutus is not wrong. During the holidays, I like to throw away extra for the bigger steaks. This past one, I scored a huge porterhouse! Loved it! Worth every penny!

We got our beef from a local grower last year, and we are still enjoying it. I encourage everyone to try this. The difference is unbelievable.

Just don’t go to Sweeney Todd’s barber shop.

With the price of meat what it is, when you get it.

If you get it.

Amen to that!

I was in the Navy and the box said steaks. It was all lean with zero marbled fat; USDA Grade Service.

And those arms and legs keep him coming back for more!

The difference between Grade A meat vs. Grade D “meat”.

As opposed to Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street

You’d better have someone other than Gladys cook it.

Government guidelines say that sedentary adults should consume 0.75g [around 0.03oz] of protein per kg of their own body weight per day, e.g. somebody who weighs 70kg [154lb], should consume 56g [around 2oz] of protein per day. Body-builders can absorb double that amount. More than that will just go down the toilet.

In the old days, a steak was T-bone, two feet long and four inches thick. (Mm!) These days we’re talking second mortgage on your house to pay for it! That’s IF you can find a butcher to hand-slice one!

Brutus has no beef with a good steak…

Todd Sweeney, “Sweeney Todd”. Clever.

Sweeney Todd’s meat pies

That butcher doesn’t also work as a barber, does he? Is there a meat pie shop next door?

I wonder if Todd’s shop is located on Fleet Street,

“I can resist anything but the best.” Not a bad motto as long as you only there occasionally……

Nothing like a good steak huh Brutus ?

somethings are just worth the price… I’m just shocked his limbs grow back so quickly. :D

Somehow, killing an innocent animal even a baby animal just so you can grill it, really does not appeal to me in any way.

A wise man was never wiser!

Todd Sweeney? LOL

It’s true, though, knowing you get what you paid for he made a wise choice?

You have a point, Brutus. I can’t afford ribeye, though. I’ll be having a nice bit of flank steak tonight with mashed potatoes.

Todd Sweeny? What kind of steaks are those exactly?

Brutus should patronize Raoul Mendoza’s butcher shop rather than Todd Sweeney’s. It won’t cost him an arm and a leg.

Hey attaboy Brutus…….good for you!

Todd Sweeney – excellent! Brutus is lucky he got out of there with his limbs intact!

I feel left out because I never knew who Todd Sweeney/Sweeney Todd is/was.

Todd Sweeney’s huh! An arm and a leg! This would make a great musical.

It’s a good thing your arm and leg grow back so quickly.

Highest prices in town? Worse than Safeway?! WOW!!!!

“Todd Sweeney’s” costs “an arm and a leg”? Indeed…

Spot on Brutus. Dine well. I hate to see people burn their steaks calling them well done. Tears me eyes up. Should have to eat burnt eggs, burnt bread and burnt baked taters and fried salad.

And when it comes to what’s left in your wallet, money really is no object.

As good as an Omaha steak might be, I wouldn’t buy one. Now those a re pricey!

Brutis you dolt. It’s not Todd Sweeneys Butcher Shop, it’s Sweeney Todd’s butcher shop. That’s why the prices keep going up, the supply chain is going down.

brutus thinks sweeney’s is a cut above, despite refusing to slash prices… ☺

Agreed Brutus! I NEVER mind paying for quality. Especially 1 inch thick Rib Eyes!

My sister shopped at Costco and it’s just her and her hubby but they have a freezer in the garage. Lately though she does most of her shopping at Aldi’s and she loves their stuff and their prices.

they saw cow farts are causing climate change so Im doing the best as I can with the high beef prices to put cows on the endangered species list

Todd Sweeney!!!

My wife likes to save money. She purchased some steaks for dinner that was less than half the regular price. They were mostly gristle and bone. At least the dogs enjoyed the steaks. You do get what you pay, if you go to an honest butcher.
