Have lived in SF for 7 years, and eaten all over the city. Some of our favorite places have come from this show. HOWEVER, Gus, who was from Nevada and said he could get a good cut of beef at any casino (I'm still shuddering over this comment, as I have eaten at many of the casinos and few of them would I get beef) was WAY OFF. The best steak on the strip, if you are going to bring up Vegas, is Smith and Wols, a chain btw. That being said, HOPR is a great place for beef. There are some great steakhouses here in SF, Alfred's is one, and I will pay for good beef. He called it pricey, and over the top, which tells me he doesn't eat that much beef. Prime Rib is one of the more succulent cuts, so eating it you are walking into a caloric orgy. Calling it over the top artery clogging is stating the obvious. I found his comments to be pedestrian, and trite. If you didn't like it just say so, otherwise keep comparing it to Casino beef is blasphemy. HOPR is one of the best deals in town, and the beef is choice. Hi,
