How did you miss the $81, 26-ounce Prime Porterhouse? That's "only" $3.12 per ounce. (Which their menu says, in case you were wondering, is a "unit of mass." Isn't it also a unit of volume?)

that would be a fluid ounce.

Perhaps they should have specified avoirdupois ounces to avoid ambiguity.

Thanks for the "Kobe - Style."

As far as prices go, if you want retail Akaushi flat iron, you should be able to pick that up for $19-22 and a strip for about $60. I will assume that any side dishes at the restaurant are extra, yes? This had better be an existential steak experience.

Symbol.com on Ounce's logo: http://www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/1...

I thought an ounce was a unit of weight. Either way, it was helpful of the restaurant to try to explain what "ounce" means, for those customers unfamiliar with the concept.

But how do we know whether it is an international Troy ounce, or an apothecaries' ounce, or a Maria Theresa ounce (popular in Ethiopian steakhouses), or a metric ounce, or a Dutch metric ounce, or even a Chinese metric ounce.

Their lack of clarity is disheartening.

Luniz: Is there a separate symbol for a fluid ounce?

I'll have an ounce of Jordan Cabernet and a half ounce of Cakebread Chardonnay - that's the extent of my quota.

Did somebody say "banana?" Because this whole thread isn't making an ounce of sensi to me.

{regarding the Scott-directed source for the ounce logo} "...formerly used in pharmaceutical contexts". How funny. In both cases, I suppose the goods will be doled out by folks in white coats?

Donna: I, too, think "Gram" would have been a much more appropriate name to attract the kind of crowd they are looking for.

I believe the symbol for fluid ounce was retired after a copyright dispute with the Portland Trailblazers.

What makes something "Kobe-style"? Does it whine if it has to share the plate with potatoes or steamed veggies? Maybe it asks to be traded to some diners from New York?

Not for readers of delicate sensibility, but the Urban Dictionary defines "Kobe-style" thus: http://tinyurl.com/2d7jza . That seems consistent with the pricing.

I will only take ounces in small plastic bags from people on street corners.
