    I’m glad you had a good meal. I’m a filet mignon girl, through and through, and when we go for a really special meal I get a bone in filet. But I’m a firm believer that you can go to the same restaurant at two different times, have the same chef grilling the same cut but have them turn out differently because they’re two different heads of beef. Dad used to say if the animal was hateful, the beef would be bad. We’d all laugh and say it wouldn’t matter if it was ground up but he was positive. LOL! 🐄🐮🤠

    • @NCMemoryMakers
      @NCMemoryMakers  2 місяці тому +1

      I agree, that it can be different on different visits. Usually, I like a good bone-in ribeye, but this just wasn't as tender as the many boneless ones I've gotten there. It was good, still. But I would definitely go back to the boneless on our next visit.

    Great review of j Arthur's once again. I just love it when you guys go there always look in your video to see if there's any change in the Christmas decor😊 for some reason we thought that bone-in ribeye would not be as good as bone out ribeye, but still flavorful. those cheese sticks are truly the best we've ever had definitely will agree with you folks, there!!! Have a Merry Christmas 😊

      @sharonspivey781 Thank you for watching. This is our favorite eating out experience of the year, especially during the holiday season. I think the decorations are pretty much the same, but they still are beautiful.
      Yes, I normally love a bone-in ribeye, because the bone is supposed to make it more flavorful. But I definitely believe the boneless is better here. It is certainly more tender.
      Merry Christmas to you and your family.

    Hi, I just booked a tiny home on air b and b in the town of Canton NC for 3 days. Any recommendations of different places to go? Former chef, just looking to explore places up your way, keeping it simple.

    • @NCMemoryMakers
      @NCMemoryMakers  2 місяці тому

      There is definitely lots to do in the Maggie Valley or Asheville areas. I would recommend Biltmore House in Asheville, or taking a ride up into Great Smoky Mountains National Park, assuming the road isn't closed due to snow.
      To find about Highway 441 in the National Park, call 865-436-1200 and follow the voice menu to "Weather and Road Conditions Report". It will always tell you if that road is open or closed, before any others are listed.
      I am not very familiar with Canton itself, because we don't usually get off the Interstate and go into Canton. But you are pretty close to the areas I mentioned above.

They're fantastic. The meal was just as great! We had the cheese sticks and they're easily the best I've had. Crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside and that marinara was phenomenal! Per your recommendation I decided to go with the boneless ribeye. The most tender ribeye I've tasted and the flavor was great. Mom had the chicken marsala and she loved it as well. Our experience was so good we're going to try to go back before Christmas. Thanks to your video we finally got out there to try it and I'm really glad we did.
