Revision as of 22:32, 9 November 2012

Steak Bets are formal bets wherein the victor claims a steak as his prize (as provided by the loser).

Origin

Steak bets originate from the second track on the comedy album Night Attack, titled High Steaks. It is here Brian portrays the future as from "a steak-centric universe." Among the multiple stark differences between this reality and our own, is that not only is it the social norm to use steaks as the only reward for bets, but it is the standard currency for future transactions.
