"To understand the popularity of LongHorn's ribeye, we must first examine what a ribeye steak is and how it differs from other cuts of steak. Ribeye steaks are pulled from the rib of a cow (hence their name) and are beloved for their tender and juicy nature. It's more fatty than other cuts like the New York strip, giving it a rich fat marbling on the interior and making it hard to ruin by overcooking."
"While LongHorn's ribeye is over $10 more than its cheapest steak (the sirloin, which goes for $16.79 in the Cincinnati area), its premium nature and delicious taste mean that many people find it worth the splurge. Also, LongHorn's ribeye is not all that expensive. If you do the math, it costs about $36.65 per pound, while Walmart sells a ribeye for about $15.97 per pound."
