Steaks are expensive outside of your area.

Austin has a LOT of cattle around it, and a lot of natually grown cattle at that.
I used to fly for a company (still do every once in a while) in NW Texas that sells beef to high-end restaraunts in NY, Chicago, Dallas, and I can tell you that Vince Young's place is marking up their steaks at least 300%, and the side prices are a crime.
But, I am a believer in the market, so if people are buying what he is selling at that price I say keep up the good work.
There is no way I would pay that price for a steak, but like you said I live in the middle of beef paradise.
