Food: Prime Rib Friday, Now with Crab

Prime Rib and Crab at Lonesome Dove in Austin


You may have been wondering: how does one improve upon a $16 lunch special consisting of a pound of smoked prime rib and a twice baked potato?  Wonder no longer.  You add the delicious "deviled gulf coast blue crab" appetizer.  I already thought the rattlesnake and rabbit sausage was good, but the crab surpasses it in the flavor department.   Try out out the crab (or try it and the sausage) next time you're in Lonesome Dove.  Also, keep in mind that Austin's Lonesome Dove has 1/2 bottles of wine available during lunch.  Plan your afternoon accordingly. 

Also: are you curious about the difference between prime rib and steak?   Ribeye and prime cut come from the same primal cut of the cow.  There are slight differences in the cuts.   Ribeye is prepared as a steak, which means it is cooked already cut.  Prime rib is prepared as a roast, meaning a larger piece of beef is roasts with the individual servings cut off.   Lonesome Dove goes above and beyond, as they smoke the prime rib.
