The Beef Case?

John Travolta recently enjoyed a $1,000 “Pulp Fiction”-inspired steak at Papi Steak in Miami.

The dish, called the “Beef Case,” is a 55 oz. Australian Wagyu tomahawk steak presented in a rhinestone encrusted briefcase. This was a playful nod to the mysterious briefcase from the 1994 Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction where Travolta played Vincent Vega.

In the movie, the briefcase’s contents are never revealed, but at Papi Steak, it’s clear: a luxurious cut of beef. Travolta reportedly reenacted the iconic scene, opening the case with an approving nod, alongside friends like restaurant co-owners Dave Grutman and David “Papi” Einhorn, rapper Quavo, and film producer Randall Emmett, who was celebrating his birthday.

Photos of the moment have been widely shared, capturing the extravagant experience.

Texas Strip Steak?

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick stirred the pot this week with a social media post suggesting the iconic New York strip steak be renamed in honor of the Lone Star State. It’s a bold move with meat lovers everywhere picking sides.

Texas has a solid case. With its sprawling cattle ranches and a barbecue culture that’s practically a religion, the state knows beef. The New York strip (prized for its marbling and flavor) could easily fit under the Texas brand, where everything’s bigger, including the steaks. Patrick’s proposal feels like a patriotic flex, a chance to plant the Texas flag on a culinary classic.

But New York’s not giving up the title without a fight. The strip’s name hails from the 1800s, tied to Delmonico’s, a legendary NYC eatery that made it famous. For New Yorkers, it’s about heritage and not just a cut. Renaming it could spark a turf war juicier than the steak itself.

Is this a Lone Star triumph or a Big Apple tradition worth defending?
