RTC vs. RTS

So, in a smackdown, which Ray's would win? While I've only been to both restaurants exactly one time, I have to say that I want to lick Michael Landrum's, um...steak...up and down. Seriously. The man knows his meat. He even has the approval of my New York sister (one bite of filet, eyes rolling back in head, that is the best meat I've ever had...) beginner food snob! I've had the lamb, eggplant cake (you don't understand, this was crispy/chunky/chewy awesomeness), the NY strip, spiced cashews, cress salad, bellini, olive puffs, key lime pie, Malbec, duck fat parsnip spread, deviled eggs filled with steak tartare, hot chocolate, filet, Caesar salad, mashed potatoes, milk chocolate mousse, broccoli, brandied mushrooms, the chateaubriand, syrah, and the spinach. While all of these things are well and very, very good, the essential ingredient in each meal was and shall always be, the steak. And since I can get the steak in Arlington without the suffering that is the Beltway at rush hour, cough, I mean, all times of the day, I think I have to opt out of RTC. I think it's entirely possible that I'll be lured back for the Maryland-specific tidbits and desserts!, but for now I think I'll settle (HA!) for the original RTS.
