we have a nice airport restaurant.  the air force base Mcconnel in Wichita uses it and the helo pilots from Ft. Riley come up and eat.  If you hear then see 4 helos in formation fly over my house, they are having steak at the restaurant

Its kind of interesting to see in old movies and tv shows where folks go to the bar at the airport.  Travel was glamorous in those days so the airports and train stations were upscale.

at night you get a slightly upscale vibe, they have proff. chefs, but they have a lunch buffet that everyday folks love, cause it is real food, real fast.  if you want the lunch deal, you go straight and get a plate of food and sit down, and they take you drink order and put you down for the buffet.  in and out in 40 minutes if you like.  no waiting.

I haven't found a good steakhouse for years. A tough scrawny piece of charred meat blood red inside seems to be the norm.

there is another at a little biplane airport about 40 minutes from here, and many just fly over to eat for a little trip.  will have to remember the name.

We have some upscale restaurants, but they are above my pay grade. They are for McCain execs and once a year binges. The neighbor sells them beef to one in Florenceville and his prices are pretty much double for the same meat from the guy just over the hill. The guy over the hill has top grade animals, this guy near me has mongrels. All in the marketing. :D

Doc, we must be neighbors. I live about 5 miles NE of the airport, have eaten there numerous times.
Your right about the helos, they have been flying over lately due to the fires close to our house.

well hello neighbor.  i know a few others close by but about 50 miles away.  You might update your profile with more info.  it does not have to be too specific.  are you a hobby guy, or business?  I know hedge is loved for fence posts, and firewood.  It also makes great wood projects.  My kids went to Buhler High school.  hope the recent fires did not get you.  Welcome.

We quit getting steak out. Most always disappointed comparing them to what I can cook at home.

Our oldest son who joined the Marines to become a helo pilot, straight from college, remains a civilian helo pilot still yet. The helo pilots who "hop" from place to place and refuel seem to know all the best places to chow down. Our son relates them to us often for various areas he has or is flying into. 
Not so often are they airport based food though as this thread showcases. 

Hey Osage-many of my people in KS are from Osage Co, KS, (Burlingame, KS) I'm a Shawnee Co boy myself. A military friend owed 1/2 a car dealership in Osage City, KS back when. He was also a rancher there and a pilot of WWII vintage who commanded my aviation Company.

I love a good steak,

If you want an interesting read get
Franklin Steak by Arron Franklin.

It's not really a cookbook but has more of what a great steak is.

His book on Barbeque is very good too......for a very Texan slant.

I rarely ever post, but read the forum everyday..... you my friend have to be one of the most negative ppl I've ever seen post, not just this post, but most of what you put up is negative. Can u just say "glad you enjoyed your dinner"? Not that hard.

I was going to inject some sort of admin hocus pocus here, but garsh, I just think this here was a learning experience don't ch'all?

Roy, come to the U.P. this summer and I'll airfry ya a steak, anyway ya want it. You can then say you traveled across a continent for what could quite likely be the best or worst meal of your life, and if you come, I'm good with what ever your opinion ends up being. :)

I will double down on that.  Make your way to Virginia and I will treat you to a USDA 100% grass fed steak, your choice of cut, that sells for foolish money in Richmond grocery stores.  You can even see where it grew up.

Jeff, I wish I could take you up on that! Same for Southside, I have never seen the south east.  A long road trip would be good for my soul right now. It's funny, tastes appear to be changing. AAA grain fed used to be considered our finest beef, I still prefer it, but grass fed is taking over in the market place. Is it cost or are we becoming more Americanized? ;D

Depends on what your used to. Growing up here all we had was grass fed, but they had grain supplement in winter. Even the older calves got some 'mash' in the milk. Be dry sled'n without it. ;D

Consumer demand is shifting. Some for health reasons, some idelogical, some prefer the taste.

Done wrong 100% grass fed is horrible. Might as well eat a swamp buck in the rut. It's a lot of work to do it right, but it's what beef should taste like.

We had some one time from a farm up by traverse city. Organic grass fed.  Not a fan.

As far as as I am concerned this whole organic thing is a joke. I won't pay a premium for a product where all the bugs and diseases haven't been killed. There are NO scientific studies showing that it has any benefit, it is a marketing ploy. There, my rant for the day, stay tuned for further developments ;D

After seeing the air fryer video of the steak and haven eaten some of southsides grass fed beef, personally think that would make an excellent combination. Hands down the best beef I've eaten in a long time came out of Dinwiddie county. Even if it wasn't air fried  :D

Southside

Just curious what bugs and diseases you fear you would find in my products? I can say you won't find Glyphosate, (Round up), 2,4-D (Agent Orange), Bio-Solids (Sewage waste), GMO beef (Yup - just approved for sale in the US), or a host of other honest to goodness, down home, fill you up just like momma made it contaminants.
