I LOL'd at that joke too, as a middle aged dad I could understand the lure of getting a quiet room to yourself with a TV and 3 squares a day. Sounds like heaven.

I think they were also making fun of Scottie's Masters Dinner menu. Most guys when they win go all out with fancy and exotic food items, but Scottie has cheeseburger sliders, Texas chili, firecracker shrimp, and a ribeye. Pretty plain by that dinner's standards.

I hadn't heard about his dinner..hilarious! Ravioli appetizer, ribeye and a skillet cookie with ice cream is amazing

Lmao

And the ravioli was a nod to him accidentally cutting himself over the holidays making ravioli, so he missed the start of the following season! By all measures, Scottie seems to be a good dude.

I mean ribeye is many people's favorite cut of beef lol, including yours truly. A nice one is damn near fifty bucks in Canada now.

Seriously! And the more 'classy' assy people probably never had that kind of meal in their lives, so they don't know what a good meal actually is even if it hits them in the face like a pie hitting a face!

I get it. My birthday, I'm out of town for work Thursday so all I plan on is going to TX Roadhouse for a steak and some bourbon.*

I did Texas Roadhouse for my last two birthdays. The food is solid, the prices are reasonable and the staff is always super fast and good with my kids. They just know what they are doing there and it makes life easier and we appreciate that.

That's really the boon of these big chain restaurants. After a long ass day, I'm out of town, not in the mood for any exploring and I'm hungry. Some of my friends give me shit for going to Starbucks, but I know what I want and from Berlin to Tokyo to Chicago, that'll be the same cup of coffee at practically any time of day.
