  • Dress code strictly enforced: “collared shirts, no open toes, no shorts, no hats.”
  • Food rundown:
    • “Seafood was better than the steak,” with highlights on clams casino, crab cake, and risky oysters (“looked like somebody just got gutted in the kitchen”). (09:42–11:17)
    • Classic sides: creamed spinach, onion rings (“fire”), wedge & Caesar salads, broccoli rabe— notable absence of mashed potatoes.
  • Pricing: About $220 per head for a sizable group (“not crazy”); shoutout to “my fish boy” for pescatarian accommodation.

5. Rating Table Service & Dining Etiquette

• The boys riff on how high the “floor” for bad service is, and how rare it is for them to care unless it’s “really up and ruining the vibe” or involves discriminatory behavior.
• Minimum 20% tip, up to 30% if the service is “fire.”
• The steakhouse dinner featured “two guys” (servers) and “everything that could have gone wrong went wrong.”

It's like a challah bread. I've been titties.

[Lawrence Lawson]

I've theoretically like if I got really hot and I loved myself, what would I wear? And just like seeing how that kind of feels to see if I'm like there yet. Clearly not. This is, this is like my theoretical hot guy outfit. It's like a hot dude in a polo and fatigues.

[James Harris]

Angelic clavicular.

[Lawrence Lawson]

I mean if I was as hot as Clef I would probably be wearing similar things to clap but just like the better version.

[Lawrence Lawson]

Well, you just. You're also all torso, as we've established, so I'm stumping. You need an exchange rate for inseams for a guy who's.

[James Harris]

I don't know what the inseams are, but they're. I think they're just like the beach shorts. Cuz it's 90 degrees out and T shirt is our legacy. The bracelets, our legacy. The sunglass or thistles. The haircut is Paul from Mildred Super Topo Chico making me burp and hydro flask of Void side's finest word. Haynes boxers. Wow, Lawrence. Lot to talk about. Big week. No more washed goats. Unless you're talking about beaver, I guess, or geese, but okay.

[Lawrence Lawson]

So geese are goated. You just said it.

[James Harris]

Oh, got me.

[Lawrence Lawson]

Got him.

[James Harris]

So last week we talked about dress codes and for various events. And one of them. Well, one of them I have tonight, the tennis gala. I still don't know what I'm going to wear.

[Lawrence Lawson]

Oh, really?

[James Harris]

It's so hot. I'm just going to go with like my lightest.

[Lawrence Lawson]

You're running out of time, dude.

[James Harris]

I know. I'm just going to go with like my lightest weight suit. Like my boy. Nope. Is wearing a Is Miyake pleaded suit. So I'm like, all right. It's not that serious.

[Lawrence Lawson]

No, clearly not.

[James Harris]

One of the events was steak night with the boys. Fellas.

[Lawrence Lawson]

Yeah.

[James Harris]

Do you want to know what I wore? No, I'm kidding.

[Lawrence Lawson]

What? Yeah. What did you. What did the whole crew agree? Did you do like whatever? We.

[James Harris]

We were a little. I mean, there is a dress code for the venue at Gall. We went to Gallagher's 52nd between 7th and Broadway.

[Lawrence Lawson]

What is their recommended dress code?

[James Harris]

1927. It's not recommended. It's the dress code. So like what, it's like collared shirts, no open toes. I think no shorts, no hats.

[Lawrence Lawson]

Probably right.

[James Harris]

Probably no hats. Yeah, I think no hats.

[Lawrence Lawson]

Damn. It's official. Shit.

[James Harris]

It's real official. They're 99 years old. Since 1927, this was the most bizarre, borderline absurdist meal, in a good way I've ever had in my entire life, honestly. Maybe top three crazy meals.

[Lawrence Lawson]

That's awesome.

[James Harris]

And I'm not saying not in a good way. But not in a bad way.

[Lawrence Lawson]

It's a memory union boys will now cherish forever.

[James Harris]

That's the one payoff is I was like, yo, the amount of like, fodder, we're going to get it. Like weddings, second weddings, like bar mitzvahs for our kids. Like, yo, remember that crazy meal?

[Lawrence Lawson]

Remember, like, worth it? Okay, so worth the price of admission.

[James Harris]

Where should we start? The food. Honestly, the sea. I find this true of a lot of steakhouses these days. The seafood was better than the. Than the steak and the sides and. Yeah, clams casino, crab cake.

[Lawrence Lawson]

Clams casino. And the producer as well. God, the food and the producer.

[James Harris]

Everything, everything is purple. I'm not talking steak base 6.7.2 out of 10 on the food, not food.

[Lawrence Lawson]

Not bad. How's the price situation going?

[James Harris]

Not crazy. I mean, we did two bottles of wine, one cocktail, maybe a dessert beer. Three desserts for six dudes. One guy had two drinks. Dessert beer is so clutch. Yeah, it was like 2. Something like 220 per ahead and then 1. One boy is a pescatarian. So he paid a little less, we paid a little more.

[Lawrence Lawson]

One boy is pescatarian. Yeah. One of your boys.

[James Harris]

My fish boy.

[Lawrence Lawson]

Yeah. Ok. Was.

[James Harris]

No, that's my fish boy.

[Lawrence Lawson]

Right, right. Shout out the fish, boys. All of you listening at home as well. What were the sides? What was the side spread? Because that's where you really can judge a steakhouse order or the. You know, just based on what are we getting as zhram off at the table.

[James Harris]

Cream, spinach, onion rings are fire.

[Lawrence Lawson]

What are the starches?

[James Harris]

Wedge salad, Caesar salad. I think a broccoli. Rob.

[Lawrence Lawson]

No mash?

[James Harris]

Nah.

[Lawrence Lawson]

No. I guess you had onions. No, taters. Damn.

[James Harris]

Okay.

[Lawrence Lawson]

All right. I probably would.

[James Harris]

Tom Hawk steak for two and porterhouse for three.

[Lawrence Lawson]

And then the fish boy got a fish and you just.

[James Harris]

We got a fish. Oh, and we got clem casino crab cake. We got oysters, which I do not recommend. They were a bit funky looking.

[Lawrence Lawson]

Oh yeah.

[James Harris]

I mean, it looked like somebody just got gutted in the kitchen. Anyway, food 7.1 or whatever. I said vibe. 28 point. No vibe high. 8.7 out of 10.

[Lawrence Lawson]

Wow.

[James Harris]

Service. And this is where it got real kooky. I normally. I don't know how you feel. I feel like we're kind of similar in this. I don't really. I think good service is amazing, but like the floor is high where it's like bad service. I don't really care.

[Lawrence Lawson]

Yeah, I'm not gonna.

[James Harris]

Unless you're playing really up and like ruining the vibe and stuff. Like, and you're like, I don't know, racist or sexist.

[Lawrence Lawson]

It takes a lot to call out bad service.

[James Harris]

Yeah. 20 tip minimum, 30% if you're fire very rarely will like service that's off, let's call it will ruin the meal for me. This was crazy.

[Lawrence Lawson]

It was that bad.

[James Harris]

Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. So first of all, you get two guys. I'm not going to say their names. Yeah.

[Lawrence Lawson]

And normally it's like, here are your two men.

[James Harris]

Yeah, boys, here's your men.
