What is a steak pit?




The dining options were somewhat eclectic in Esterhazy, Saskatchewan. One of the hot spots on the main drag was the Beverage Room and Steak Pit. No, I'm lying. I never saw anyone enter or leave this Beverage Room and Steak Pit premises so I did not dare to enter the establishment myself.
What is a Steak Pit? I've heard of a Steak House, A Chop House, A Sizzler, A Smoke House but a Steak Pit? Does the chef slaughter and skin the animal right in front of the diners before throwing the carcass on an open fire pit? The good news is I have an opportunity to return to Esterhazy by September 22 to defend a speeding ticket I received and discover the true Steak Pit experience.
The other dining option was Dairyville with its vintage sign and original spelling convention. I just couldn't work past the fear of eating a hamb
erger so I feasted on ice cream instead. At least I think it was ice cream...

Oh, not only do you get chicken, but you get chicken IN BASKET. How could you pass that up? Chicken and a bonus basket? Whoa....

A steak pit is the underside of a steak arm. Lovely photos, especially the way you got one of the chickens posing above the Dairyville sign.
