Random Thoughts...The Hungry Hunter



Driving into San Diego from the north on I-15, I always pass this restaurant:



As a steaklover, I like the idea of a steakhouse just as much as the next gal. But something always strikes me as odd in the name of the restaurant.



Do you see it too?


Here's a hint at what I find so amusing: What type of animal does steak come from?


...and how...may I ask does a person hunt a cow? I mean...hunting....there implies some thrill, some challenge...some prowess and perserverance. When I think of hunting, I think of camoflauge so one can sneak up on its prey....catching it off guard, and, even with a rifle, having to face some sort of difficult in getting a shot off, and you only get one chance because if you shoot and miss, that thing will go running and you'll never catch it.

But a cow? Hunting a cow?

Well, that just seems silly to me. But you know, after doing some research I've actually discovered it to be a dangerous sport...even life threatening!

So, I guess I stand corrected. It is possible to hunt a cow. So next time you enjoy a burger, a nice piece of steak or even some ribs, say a little "Thank you" to the brave hunters who got it to your plate!

Ha Ha Ha! Very random Kim, but very interesting. Who ever heard of cow hunting... Doesn't sound like someplace I would like to eat.
