Prime Rib three time per day

Dewy,
Your diet sounds alot like what I will be doing when I get off the juice phase of Reboot Your Life on line. I put cinnamon, turmeric, curry powder, and ginger in my vegetable drinks. It is designed to help medical conditions and lose weight. Have you seen the film called Fat Sick and Nearly Dead? http://www.hulu.com/watch/289122 I have been losing about a pound a day so far and so I am happy. I have more energy than I have had in a very long time. Some of the things that I am working to cure or at least improve is my blood sugar, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. My father had his first heart attack at 33 and died from his second heart attack at 52. He was also diabetic. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. I take Methotrexate for RA. It is very hard on the liver. I should not drink while taking it. My liver enzymes was so high I had to go off all medication. I think if I can reduce inflammation through diet, I can reduce or get off alot of my meds. Thats my hope anyway. I am going to stay off gluten and milk for awhile to see if that might be part of my problem. I might add a fish meal now and them. I love nuts and beans and all vegetables so that part is easy.

I am glad I was not the only one that thought the Prime Rib looked gross. I can eat meat pretty rare but on my screen it did not even look warmed up.

 

Yes, we are eating much the same.
The trick for me is to make it about celebration rather than deprivation, so that a good kale dish is as exciting to me as prime rib is to the OP. And at least for me, age made a huge difference. I've had a lifetime of over indulgence, so the memories are good. No regrets. Now, new adventures.
Just as I don't go up on ladders to do roofing anymore, I don't eat those risky foods either.
One tip I leaned about Tumeric is that it should always be eaten with a bit of black pepper. That helps release more antioxidants. Most curries contain black pepper, but I don't always want all the spice of curry and use the spice by itself as an anti cancer medicine as much as spice.
Very useful is a book called AntiCancer: A New Way of Life where diet actually reversed some cancers, and I like Walter Willett's approaches in books like Eat, Drink, and be Healthy which again focuses on the adventure of eating new and healthier things, and celebrating the tastes of a wide variety of food. The China Study pretty much pushed me away from the red meats.

I guess I got rambling a bit, but my response was mostly to the question of whether cravings and tastes change with a change in diet and how perhaps not eating red meat would change the way it looked to us or tasted. I was surprised how much that was true, but I do think two things affect that.

One is to understand that healthy, less risky eating means eating more and not less. That fits the tone of this thread. In that way the OP and I are exactly alike. Only he is going to binge on all the prime rib possible, and I'm going to eat all the greens possible and a bit of as many new and different kinds of plant based foods as I can find.
And the second is to make it more about celebration than deprivation, more like going camping than going to prison.

I worried that my frugal nature would interfere with my enjoyment. I love coupons and a good deal. Going organic looked expensive. However, the opposite happened. I found that our food budget stayed about the same as cheaper vegetables (even at organic prices) replaced fancy cheeses and expensive meats and rich chocolates. And because it is less important to consider organic in beans (they have an outer layer discarded and are rinsed as much as three times in preparation) I found a most frugal adventure in a local Indian foods store where more varieties of beans than I ever imagined, and some of the spices I need for Indian recipes, are very cheap. I love Indian food and slowly I'm learning how to make more things. And the Farmer's Markets provide great deals as well on food that may not be labeled organic, but is free of the chemicals and pesticides in much imported produce like apples or green peppers. And the stuff tastes like real food too, so there is that same adventure in discrimination that this thead applies to red meat and the same searching in food shopping for the best deals.
Also, since I cook more at home, my overall food expenses are cheaper than when I went so much to restaurants. And if I go out, the salad menu is half the expensive meat menu.
Also, my friends who garden are very generous with their oversupplies. The guy who hosts my weekly poker game gives me a bag of kale a week, even if I win his money. He has an overabundance. It is still growing in November here in the North. I cooked some yesterday with a little cabbage another gardening player gave me and added it to my well seasoned lentil and bean soup. It was great!

 

For most of my meals, yes, I try to watch calories, fat, carbs and such.

However, as my late aunt (MSRIP) would say, "Calories don't count in Las Vegas" and I'm of the opinion that the occasional prime rib or two desserts at the buffet (or even one too many adult beverages) will not kill you, as long as you don't make it a 365 day per year event!

As for prime rib, I think the best kept secret in Las Vegas is Jerry's Nugget in North Las Vegas. It's not a fine-dining destination by any means, but the prime rib rivals Lawry's! The place is downscale I admit. It has blue collar vibes to it and I would go as far as to say it has some of that "Old Vegas" feel as well. Although the neighborhood looks a bit iffy, the place is perfectly safe and you can valet park at the north entrance.

The prime rib comes in three cuts, large, huge, and monstrodious! The smallest cut is almost too much for me and will be satisfying for all but the most hearty eaters. They call it the "English Cut", but unlike most places that feature what they call an English Cut which is thin slices, Jerry's Nugget's English Cut is their smallest steak-type cut, which is actually quite generous. Their largest cut, which should be named Cardiologist Nightmare, is larger than Lawry's huge cut ("Diamond Jim"?) and soup/salad and side are included.

They feature the (Letterman style - LOL) rotating pie dessert selection, but I don't think anyone I ever dined with there had room for dessert!

The prices are very reasonable too. It's consistently good for both food and service. Not that far a drive, really.

If you really wanna do prime rib three times a day, I would suggest Jerry's Nugget for one of them.

 

I don't want to come off like I getting on anyone for eating meat. I'm not. We are having the Wedding reception at Mc Mullian's Irish Pub after the Wedding. I am looking forward to the corned beef and cabbage, Irish stew and Irish Nacho's and beer. But I also look forward to the fresh vegetable juice and fresh fruit at the Bacchanal buffet the next day. It is just what is working for me now. I am pretty much a farmer that has been raising my own food for awhile. I even pluck my own chicken. To be completely fair I have been following different methods of curing cancer with food. Some people are curing cancer with eating meat only by starving off the sugars that feed it. It just depends on the type of cancer. Many people lose weight eating meat only. I have followed Walter Willett and the Harvard School long enough to remember how outraged they were by the Atkins diet. When it comes to weight loss they seem to know people can stick to it easier than a low fat diet. They still tell you plant based protein is what you should eat and limit meats. A vegan diet is the hardest diet I have ever tried to do. The China Study I found very interesting. Really gets you thinking about milk differently. I have not watched Forks over Knives yet. Only what I seen on You-Tube or Dr Oz Show. http://tv.naturalnews.com/v.asp?v=7B417F65B0EB39F10B259B2D9DAE643F At the end of the show Dr Oz had people try a plant based diet. Only a 1/3 made it past 4 or 5 days. That shows how hard it is. I wish the show did not end that way. I am not missing meat as much as I am cooked food. I think I will steam some Kale. Raw diets are hard too.

Wyzykowski3: I was thinking of you this weekend. I was watching a TV show on the Travel Channel called Meat Lover's Paradise or Beef Paradise or something. Anyway, it was dedicated to places specializing in gigantic servings of beef.

WARD'S HOUSE OF PRIME in Milwaukee, WI was featured as they add a new cut to the menu each time someone beats the prior record. Well, three guys sat down to do just that and they all took down 160oz of prime rib, and one of them asked for another 8oz to take the crown.

This pic doesn't really do justice, but it was insanely massive.

 

That's what I'm talking about!

 

OMG! When I fix a rib roast to feed four, it's usually smaller than that! Jeesh!

 

I think the rule of thumb is one rib per two diners, this is a 3 rib roast.

My wife had Prime Rib for lunch and dinner the same day. That was at SouthPointe coffee shop special. I'm not sure if it would be ready in the morning but you could call.

Back in the day this would not be a problem. I remember when you could find Prime Rib Buffets for about $5 24/7. I can't imagine having it for breakfast though unless it was part of some type of brunch. Have fun in your quest and let us know how it turns out.

 

The way to do that is prime rib and eggs. Then normal prime rib lunch and then prime rib dinner.

 

How far is it from downtown? Can you take a bus there?

 

I dispute the claim that prime rib was available 24/7 on buffets, let alone buffets being 24/7 affairs.

 

Back in the 70s and 80s you could find buffets 24/7. Not at all properties, but I had many a prime rib buffet at four am.

 

Jerry's Nugget is about a 15 minute bus ride from downtown into North Vegas. Pick up the 113 at 4th and Carson, then it drops back at Carson and LVB. It is a bit of a sketchy area of Vegas, but I think the bus stops are very near the casino. You might not want to make it a late night destination. American Casino Guide has a $5 matchplay and a free drink coupon.

I suspect the mathematics does not support it. The game is a 3-2 game, double deck the last I knew.
There is no poker room.

 

I have had prime rib at Jerry's Nugget and at Ellis Island multiple times. They are both very good. The description dmr provided for Jerry's is spot on. I don't know for sure but I think that one of these places might be your best bet for getting prime rib during breakfast time. It has been a long time since I have seen prime rib on any Vegas lunch buffet.

A couple people suggested the Coronado Cafe at South Pointe. When I tried it, it was absolutely horrible and the worst prime rib I ever had in my life. It was at least half fat and the lean part was so tough and full of gristle that it was simply inedible. Service was terribly slow and the waitress disappeared for 20 minutes at the time I wanted to send the meat back. By the time she reappeared I just wanted to get out of there.

The Orleans has a restaurant called the Prime Rib Loft, open only for dinner, which I intend to try on my next trip. They say that the beef for their prime rib is dry aged for 21 days. They offer 3 cuts of prime rib, 10 oz., 14 oz., and 24 oz. priced at $17, $20 & $27 respectively. At these prices that would be a real bargain for dry aged beef.

 

Did he do it or not?

 

My trip has been changed to just Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. December 23rd- 26th. This is not the week long suicide mission I signed up for, but, I plan to give it hell.

 

Have fun, I hope we get a TR and a review on all the great beef you are going to have. I'm looking forward to hearing about your trip.
