I Ditched some Friends for Steak

So tonight I was presented with a terrible choice.

I was going to meet some great friends for some BBQ just down the street. It would be fun, I love the company but I was probably going to have to pay my own bill. Sounds delicious. The other option is to go to Flemings with other great friends and they would foot the bill for a $36 steak. How terrible is this choice?

What would you do?

I have several weaknesses – three of which are steak, pleasing people and a free lunch. All could not win this go round. This was an either or – I could dissapoint my pallete with BBQ I had to pay for or dissapoint my friends and enjoy the most expensive piece of meat I have ever eaten.

I am a terrible person.
