Subway Passes McDonald's

It's official: the Subway sandwich chain has surpassed McDonald's Corp. as the world's largest restaurant chain, in terms of units.

At the end of last year, Subway had 33,749 restaurants worldwide, compared to McDonald's 32,737...

Subway, which surpassed the number of McDonald's in the U.S. about nine years ago, expects China to eventually become one of its largest markets. The sandwich shop only has 199 restaurants in China now, but expects to have more than 500 by 2015.

Carter Green Steakhouse

Carter Green Steakhouse

Welcome to a restaurant that values the traditions of classic American steakhouse fare. We proudly specialize in unbeatable presentations of prime steak, live Boston lobsters and an extensive selection of fine wines.

We’ve discarded the rules that often come along with a fine meal. There are no automatic gratuities for example. Just a restaurant with a staff dedicated to preparing and serving you an extraordinary meal.

What I had:

Starter
Ahi Tuna Crudo--Tears of Cleopatra vinaigrette and diced avacado

Salad
Heart of Romaine--with white anchovies

Steak
center cut filet (12 oz?)

Side
baked sweet potato

Dessert
apple fritter with praline ice cream and assorted berries

Coffee

My thoughts: Amazing value for a high end steakhouse. Salad and potato included with the steak. Outstanding bread basket with a scoop of of soft easily spreadable butter. Chilled water, no ice, poured from a swing to quart bottle. Very attentive staff. Allen Brother steaks. Near perfect rare on the filet.
