Regional prejudices aside, I suspect that comment might be made about much of the average steakhouse market in the US.
My remarks though were just to attest that in many business trips to Plains states, this Bay Area native observed first-hand that both the number and general quality of steakhouse restaurants there eclipsed the Bay Area's quite modest offerings in the genre. The BA has compensating food strengths certainly, they're just not in that direction. Some steakhouse chains like Ruth's Chris have been consistently better in Texas in my experiences. The vast (three-tiered) Del Frisco's chain -- hundreds of sites, including the Sullivan's brand -- was HQ'd there when I researced it, if I remember right.
