I love steaks, and filet mignon is probably my absolute favorite cut. But if done right, all the great cuts are to die for.
Filet or not, though, my best / most memorable steaks were had on a few business trips in the '90s and '00s, in various locales, because when our company went out to eat, or took others out to eat, they went first class and I got to experience a few fabulous places. What those places actually were are unfortunately lost to the sands of time, but even if I can't identify the jernts, I remember the sensation of those bites of steer inside my mouth. The sides, too. Something I always wish I could remember a little better and recreate for myself was the onion and tomato salad at a steakhouse near Atlanta, where they value their sweet Vidalia onions. That's also where I had a steak tartare that was to swoon over. Damn it to HELL, I do kind of miss those times.
The other superb steaks for me were cooked by friends who knew exactly what to buy, how to season, and how to properly grill or broil. If you learn that stuff, you can serve yourself the best steak in the world at home.
