Yeah, but that's not an ongoing thing. It rotates between Ford, GM and Chrysler. And should GM go poof, Ford would appreciate the business.

Thats mostly because cows in the US are fed on corn/grain - something which is ultra-rare in europe.

Actually the best steak house I have ever been to, is about 15 km north from where I sit right now (click me). It's privately owned and doesn't belong to a franchise. They use beef from local farmers (who feed their animals well) and grill it over open fire.

And I have been to Texas twice, so I can compare images/smilies/smile.gif

But I admit the BBQ's and especially the spare ribs were a lot better over there, even if the restaurant, which did the catering for a BBQ at the company we worked at, was so filthy, that it would have been closed by the health inspection in 5 minutes over here...
