The Hill<\/a>: tractor trailer carrying 40,000 lbs. of ribeye steaks catches fire on I-74 in Missouri<\/span><\/p>\n Normally, I don\u2019t bother writing about trucks full of food stuffs catching fire or overturning unless they happen in Georgia, but every now and then there are a few examples that pique my interest to the point where I can turn the clock back and write about truck carnage at the expense of delicious foods.<\/span><\/p>\n But headlines talking about a truck full of steaks catching fire got my attention, and specifically the fact that they weren\u2019t just any old run of the mill steaks, but forty thousand pounds<\/em> of ribeye steaks specifically that caught my attention.<\/span><\/p>\n The devil is in the details.<\/span><\/p>\n Sure, there is a time and place for every cut of steak, and sometimes I\u2019ve just been in the mood for a good New York strip, sometimes a big ass porterhouse.\u00a0 Sometimes just the filet is sufficient, if I want to luxuriate in all the other sides and courses.\u00a0 But for the most part, there\u2019s seldom a time when a good ribeye isn\u2019t a viable option for a steak, and learning of this truck disaster where several tons of ribeye steaks went up in flames definitely got my big back attention.<\/span><\/p>\n Naturally, I\u2019m long past the first person to probably make the joke about how delicious I-74 in Missouri must smell at the idea of all this succulent beef going up in flames, but it\u2019s probably not wrong.\u00a0 The whole region with a multiple mile radius probably smells like an incredible barbecue is going on, and if there\u2019s one thing I\u2019ve learned about Missouri is that the state knows how to barbecue, apparently even on the physical highways itself.<\/span><\/p>\n However, I do have to question the quality of the steaks, if they\u2019re in a parcel of 40,000 lbs of other ribeyes.\u00a0 I have to imagine that they were probably of the frozen variety to begin with, and probably nowhere near high-end restaurant quality cuts that most people fantasize about when they\u2019re thinking about a good steak.\u00a0 As I said, the devil is in the details, and I\u2019d be curious to know if these were like Dollar General hockey puck steaks, or if they were closer to like Outback Steakhouse steaks.\u00a0 That\u2019s the intel that separates a ho-hum run of the mill truck disaster from one that people talk about for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n Either way, congrats to Missouri for having a truck catastrophe that sounded so grand and probably smelled so good, to where it warranted words to be spouted on my little slice of the internet.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Hill: tractor trailer carrying 40,000 lbs. of ribeye steaks catches fire on I-74 in Missouri Normally, I don\u2019t bother writing about trucks full of food stuffs catching fire or overturning unless they happen in Georgia, but every now and then there are a few examples that pique my interest to the point where I … Continue reading Phelps County probably smells delicious right now<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[100,173,56,83,8,170],"class_list":["post-50818","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-comparison","tag-driving","tag-food","tag-observations","tag-ohgeorgia","tag-truck-spill"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50818","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=50818"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50818\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50820,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50818\/revisions\/50820"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
