A Quick Peeve

There are few things that annoy me more when I’m in a local restaurant than scanning the steak section of their menu and seeing them call a strip steak a “New York Strip”.  I understand that’s the common name for that steak in most of the country, but that cut of meat is known by many names, one of which is “Kansas City Strip”.  If a Kansas City-area restaurant offers that cut of steak, and could accurately call it a “Kansas City Strip” on their menu, but chooses to call it a “New York Strip” anyway, I lose all respect for them.  Have some pride in your hometown, ya know?  New York gets enough publicity already.
