/me takes Slowwhand's real Texan™ card away.

That's a porterhouse, not a t-bone.

[SlowwHand]

See that bone? Notice the "T"?

See this one? No "T" ? That's because it's a porterhouse.





Now keep your paws off my card.

Now I'm hungry. Damn that's a beautiful cut.

And, ya big dummy, porterhouses are t-bones, just with larger cuts of tenderloin. That 1st picture definately has enough tenderloin to be a porterhouse.

There is little agreement among experts on how large the tenderloin must be to call a T-bone a porterhouse; some steaks with a large tenderloin may be called a mere T-bone in some restaurants and steakhouses. However, there is general agreement the tenderloin can be no thinner than the diameter of a US quarter dollar coin (24.26 mm) to be classified as a porterhouse.
