- Last Friday, the entertainment section of the Dallas Morning
- News contained a review of Dallas's top steak houses. One
- think that surprised was the description of the customers:
- "Most of them are men. The preponderance of male to female
- customers was noticeable everywhere. Table after table of
- white-shirted corporate warriors.... There was an occasional
- couple but virtually no unescorted women."
-
- The small number of couples, especially, surprised me. I
- know that restaurants in this price range used to be popular
- places to take a date, especially on "important" occassions.
- Am I out of date, or is this just a Dallas phenomenon? Do
- women really not eat steak anymore? (I know a lot of women
- are giving up or cutting down on red meat, in favor of fish
- and salads and such, but a lot of men are also. I wouldn't
- have thought it changed the ratio that much.) Is inviting
- a woman to a steak restaurant a bad idea these days?
