Morton's Sells Out....again
Morton's as a chain has gone public/private about three times in the last ten years. Now it is selling itself again to Landry's chain. Price for this gem, about $116 million. I don't understand why a chain that sells its basic strip for $57 and a baked potato for $11 can't make money. Maybe because it charges way too much for wet aged beef unless you are on a corporate platinum card.

This article from 2009 http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?sect... seems to say (as far as I can tell) that Morton's is wet aged beef.

I don't get the fascination for paying ridiculous sums of money for a piece of grilled meat. I've never been to a Morton's, but I only needed one experience at a Ruth's Chris to convince me that it's best to seek out the locals. For every town that has one of the above there has to be a local steak place that a) is much less expensive, and b) worthy of local support. That being said, I will consider a special occasion meal at our local Fleming's. The prices are not quite as astronomical as the big boys, and the sides and wines by the glass are truly exceptional.
