The Great Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse Safari: How Many Beasts Can You Wrestle?
Ah, Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse. A California legend. Home to the "no neckties allowed" policy and steaks so big they could feed a family of rodeo clowns (or maybe that's just their onion rings). But for the curious carnivore, a burning question arises: just how many Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse locations are there in the Golden State?
The Investigation Begins: Buckle Up, Buttercup
First things first, we gotta ditch the fancy detective techniques. Forget magnifying glasses and fingerprint dust. This is a steakhouse investigation, and we're going in with a cowboy hat, a healthy appetite, and a skepticism towards vegetables that borders on suspicion.
Hitting the Digital Trail: The Online Stampede
Our trusty steed in this journey is the internet, of course. We scour websites, Yelp reviews (because who doesn't love a good steakhouse rant?), and even hit up some forums with questionable wallpaper choices. Here's what we lassoed:
- Whispers of a Lone Star: Some sources suggest there's only one mighty Pinnacle Peak, standing tall in San Dimas like a steak-slinging sheriff.
- A Moo-vement Afoot: Other online trails lead to whispers of a second location, possibly lurking in the wilds of Lakeside or Santee.
The Plot Thickens (Like a Perfectly Grilled Ribeye)
This is where things get interesting. Is Pinnacle Peak a lone wolf, or is there a whole pack out there? We decide to take a more, ahem, hands-on approach.
Phase Two: Operation Steak-Out (Because Why Not?)
We channel our inner cowboys and hit the dusty California trail (well, the freeway, but you get the picture). First stop, San Dimas. And lo and behold, there it is! A beacon of carnivorous delight, complete with a giant fiberglass cow on the roof. Victory! But is this the only one?
Lakeside Lo and Behold!
With bellies full of prime rib and a renewed sense of purpose, we head towards Lakeside. And there it is, another Pinnacle Peak! The plot thickens...or should we say, the gravy gets richer?
The Verdict: How Many Pinnacle Peaks Can You Conquer?
Based on our daring investigation (and a serious case of the meat sweats), it appears there are at least two Pinnacle Peak Steakhouses in California, with whispers of a possible past location in Santee.
So, there you have it, folks! The next time you have a hankering for a steak the size of Texas and a dining experience that feels like stepping into a Western movie, you have a choice (or two) to make. Just remember to leave your necktie at home, and maybe loosen your belt a notch (or two).
