[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Likely what Mr. Smith immediately notes was the case; the purveyor simply could not deliver steaks to Amtrak's specifications. Of course this discretion Amtrak apparently allows can be a 'double edged sword" - with the blade known to run in favor of the passenger. I can recall a fairly recent NB Auto Train voyage in which the usual "beef, chicken, fish" menu was presented. I think all here can guess what I ordered. I was expecting the "usual adequate Amtrak steak' but on this journey somehow I think the purveyor got Amtrak's order 'switched' with, let's say, Hyde Park Grill's. Oh and Hyde Park? a Cleveland based regional steakhouse chain that I think ranks above Ruth's but then not quite Morton's. They now have an outlet in Daytona Beach which seems to be the first 'breakout" of their Cleveland, Akron, Columbus, Pittsburgh base. But how often have there been cases of the MBA son entering the family business with a "Pop, you must expand; you must go national"...well maybe it works some of the time, but not always. Sbarro pizza chain is a quick example coming to mind. Dad (Gramps, maybe) I'm sure was quite happy to make pizzas at their original Brooklyn "pizza joint" - Grand/Son had other ideas. [/QB][/QUOTE]
