"This year marks the 40th anniversary of Perini Ranch Steakhouse in Buffalo Gap, Texas, some three hours west of Dallas and a half hour outside of Abilene. Diners who haven’t made the trek might not be aware that one of the state’s most notable steakhouses is out on 640 acres of rural Texas land. But it sure is, and notable Dallas food lovers and chefs travel there to eat the Perini’s beef." - Courtney E. Smith
