Lovely turn of phrase there, Mark.

I do have to accept that the Morton's just off Union Sq, SF, where
I've eten a couple of times now, is very good indeed. Not only the
food, but the service, which is not typical in-your-face "is
everything all right Sir" style, and their attitude that the customer
is always right.

But I think their steak was from Argentina...

There are certainly some nice ones around Denver[1] and they are
becoming more widespread. They are definitely very drinkable,
high-quality even, and if it's hot and/or I'm in "holiday" mode then a
cool, refreshing microbrew beer is lovely.

However, in the overall scheme of things, they're not a patch on a
proper English cask conditioned ale.
