Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

The collage tells the story in order: a long-bone ribeye with sauces, the meal in progress, and the bone lying on an empty plate. Raw oysters and a filet mignon were posted from the same dinner.

Roger said he finished it like a champ — and then helped finish half of the filet next to him. The dinner was a double celebration with friends who had just married and just got engaged, and the steak became the headline.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • A 40-something-ounce long-bone ribeye
  • Raw oysters to start
  • A clean plate as proof

Bottom line

Archive verdict

A giant steak finished like a champ — the clean bone says it all.
