Former Ohio State backup QB and LSU Hesisman-winning signal-caller Joe Burrow is having himself a year to remember. Solidify the starting spot as LSU’s starting quarterback? Check. Win the SEC? Yep. Check. Win the Heisman Trophy? Well, yeah check that off too. How about a national championship? Just check it all.
That’s quite the 2019 campaign folks, and you have to feel pretty good for him, even if he did take his talents to sweet tea, grits, and crawfish territory.
But nothing says Burrow has arrived more than getting an edible piece of meat named after him. You got it — Joe Burrow now has a steak of his own. If you didn’t see this, the guy that obliterated SEC passing records was in Columbus, Ohio this past week trying out the new “Steak Burrow” at Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse.
Introducing Steak Burrow: a 16oz Blackened Prime Ribeye w/ Creole Crawfish Sauce created in honor of likely @Bengals #1 draftee and his commitment to food insecurity in SE Ohio. We'll donate $9 for each steak sold to the Athens County Food Pantry! @Joe_Burrow10 pic.twitter.com/YmDXGU3b15

So that’s what you get when you combine Cajun and Midwest culture eh? Looks pretty tasty to me, but of course the owner had to let the first taste go to none other than Burrow himself.

Looks like it passed the test to me. But we have to wonder what happened to the dress code here. A sweatshirt hoodie at a high-end steakhouse? I guess when you win everything under the sun you can roll up into any restaurant with the outfit of your choice, right Joe?
That sounds just like a Cajun Buckeye. Oh, and if you are around those parts, remember that some of the proceeds of this mouth-watering steak goes to the Athens County Food Pantry. A nice touch.
