1844 Rest. in Leechburg

I go there a lot  (I live nearby).  The steaks are usually excellent.  But then I usually go for prime rib, not filet; and I like mine medium rare to medium.  Knock it on the head with a baseball bat and let it fall on the plate...I like it to flinch when I stick the fork in.   :)

P.S.  My carnivorously-challenged friends are turning green, now. :)
