Well, that was an interesting moment of culture shock. One of my Indian coworkers rated a Capital Grill as not a match for "steak."

But when I went to check their menu... yeah, not a SINGLE MENTION on the entire menu of the fact this is steak, or even beef. Every. Single. Solitary. Mention. was some flowery culinary term like "crusted filet Oscar" and "bone-in tritip."

No damn way a foreign speaker could grok those. I gave her full marks and a compliment for valiantly trying to parse it. :)
