Longhorn Steakhouse Gives Away Steak Knives For Left Handers Day

ST. PETERSBURG, FL -- This Monday, St. Petersburg LongHorn Steakhouseguests will be asked one important question – “Are you right-handed or left-handed?”

Aug. 13 marks International Left-Handers Day, and to celebrate, LongHorn Steakhouse at 2400 Tyrone Blvd. N., St. Petersburg, will offer custom steak knives that meet the needs of left-handed carnivores – including LongHorn President Todd Burrowes.

These knives will be available at three restaurants that boast among the highest numbers of left-handed team members in the company, including the St. Petersburg restaurant as well as restaurants in Des Plaines, Ill., and Millville, N.J.

On Monday, team members at the St. Pete restaurant will ask if the guests are left-handed, and those special knives will be provided to left-handed guests to use for their meal.

Also on Monday, the first 50 eClub members to request lefty steak knives at the St. Pete restaurant will get a knife to take home. LongHorn will distribute details about this offer through the e-newsletter and all guests have to do is show the print or digital eClub email announcing this offer. The offer is valid for each left-handed guest per table that orders an adult dinner entrée.

Steak knives are typically designed for right-handed guests with the serrated edge angled toward the right side of the knife’s blade. When left-handers use this knife, they’re forced to cut with their non-dominant hand or sacrifice the quality of their bite by sawing through their steak with the dull edge of their knife.

The serrated edge of LongHorn’s specially crafted left-handed knives is angled to the left, so
Southpaws can cut through their steak with their dominant hand and still get the highest-quality bite.

This way, guests will have a top-notch steakhouse experience no matter how they slice it.

LongHorn Steakhouse is known for quality, fresh boldly seasoned and grilled to perfection steaks by certified Grill Masters. The company operates more than 500 restaurants across 41 states. For more information, click here.
