Another One Bites the (Peanut) Dust

Last Sunday we bravely ventured forth in search of the elusive perfect steak and happened upon the newest joint in town, Logan's Roadhouse on Conference Center by the new hotel in East Peoria. We're still looking for the perfect steak. On a scale from Lone Star to Alexander's, Logan's rates somewhere below the other Roadhouse across the street. It's decor and atmosphere are typical peanut-shell-on-the-floor, country music, yee-haw style, but set in kind of a warehouse-looking interior. The music isn't as loud as Texas Roadhouse, but the food isn't as loud either. The meals we got were kind of tasteless. Bread was good, peanuts okay, salad so-so, veggies were good but few, ribs and steaks ... nothing to write home about. I think the smoke outside had more flavor than my sirloin.
