Life in Sweden

[Polak]

Skipper, how do you cope with the lack of good quality cuts of steak in Sweden? There are nice steaks in Sweden I guess that they don't come close to what you have in Texas.

Since I'm off to one of Napa's better steakhouses tonight for my 36th anniversary, here's one answer http://www.slowtravelstockholm.com/food-and-drink/stockholms-steakhouses/ Including...oddly

A popular franchise with over 10 stores and delis in Stockholm alone, Texas Longhorn is known for its ribeye steaks and New York cut striploins and you’ll definitely be getting Texas-sized portions here.
Texas Longhorn was founded by Philip Gerard Huntzinger who was born in Omaha, Nebraska, USA’s beef capital but grew up in Texas which is known for its steaks. He would later move to Sweden in 1987. He would go on to open his first Longhorn in 1994 on St. Paulsgatan in Stockholm; a small intimate restaurant with great character and an at-home feeling.

Obviously, any transplanted Texans will have "no beef" with the Swedish "bôvine cuisine" scene!

Good question: I have only had one steak here, and it's different. Which is ok, since I stopped driving a truck for this venture, I am trying to slim down, so no steak for a while is a good thing.
