I don't remember that story. That doesn't mean you've not posted it, however.

The stupormarkups around here have figured that one out a long time ago. I pass
the "chuck filet" by when I see it. Apparently so do a lot of others - I see
that particular aberration less and less often. I gummed a (small) chuck-eye
steak the other night - after carefully excising the gristle strip in the
middle - which I used to chew like Wrigley's back when I had teeth.
