is this a very common request? i ask because a couple of years ago a man called omar said this to me, which struck me at the time as a very specific invitation. and just now i saw a preview for the latest leonardo di caprio movie in which he makes the same request, verbatim! are both omar and leonardo in fact quoting someone else? what is it about steak? i remember a scene in a book where a small japanese woman devours a very large, very rare, bloody steak without embellishment, and this is considered very sexy. carnal vs. carnivorous knowledge?

Perhaps the subtext is that it will be a dinner of some quality? If someone invited me out for a steak dinner I'd be delighted.

It's very '50s, isn't it? I would hold out for *Kobe* steak...

i would hold out for a steak with some sort of marvelous french sauce like bearnaise. or a good black peppercorn sauce, which actually consists of only eggs butter and mayonaise.

I have a feeling he's quoting something. Could it be a gangster movie? Very faint bells are ringing...

yeah, isn't it New York New York?

― chris (chris), Monday, 23 December 2002 16:25 (twenty-three years ago)

No, Chris, I've the feeling tis "The GodFather".

Not the most original line I've heard. All those years of practice, too...tsk, tsk.

Is it Pal Joey; Sinatra tries to put the moves on his neigbor with promises of nice dinner...

"You bring the steaks!"

Girls are supposed to put out for a lobster dinner, I've heard, mebbe it's similar for steak? That is, maybe he's propositioning you with beef!

Girl, I'll treat you so nice--I'll take you anywhere you want--Denny's, Sizzler--anything--and hell, you can have whatever you want, with the WORKS; Fried Chicken, Steak 'n' potatoes. YOU NAME IT. I'm your moldable hunk of man clay, and you're my favorite sculptress.

you must order steak dianne!

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 24 December 2002 01:39 (twenty-three years ago)

don't worry donna, in my experience steak invitations = dud because that omar bastard never did get back to me even though i accepted with delight. i was looking forward to that steak!

― minna (minna), Tuesday, 24 December 2002 02:35 (twenty-three years ago)

I will take you ALL out for a steak dinner! I don't eat steak though, it makes me sick. But we shall still go! Who wants to come? The catch is you have to come to uptown NYC, but I am taking you out! After drinks, though, you are on your own. But the steak!

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 24 December 2002 05:56 (twenty-three years ago)

I always thought it was just like saying "I'd like to take you for a ride in my *BMW*," or "Come to the party at my summer home in the *Hamptons*."

― Dan I., Tuesday, 24 December 2002 10:33 (twenty-three years ago)

It's like asking "Would you like to go out for a walk in the leaves with me?". Be careful.

I just heard shaggy tell the rest of the gang that he'd buy them all steak dinners if one of the phantoms turned out to be who he thought it was. OK?

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 24 December 2002 10:40 (twenty-three years ago)

RJG is OTM. As usual.

This is definitely a proposition.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 24 December 2002 15:27 (twenty-three years ago)

Not for nothing was he named Shaggy.

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 24 December 2002 16:24 (twenty-three years ago)

The catch is you have to come to uptown NYC

this made me think of setting up BBQs in the middle of the Cloisters.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 24 December 2002 18:50 (twenty-three years ago)

dan i could be on the right track too, omar had a 'summer home' in spain!! i didn't see his car.
