How Loyal Are You to a Cut of Beef?

Reading a post at The Kitchn about trying a new cut of beef got me thinking:

How many people loyally follow a certain cut of beef?

I follow it, to an extent, when I'm eating out. When I was young, I was obsessed with large, juicy pieces of prime rib. These days, especially when I hit Ruth's Chris, I grab the rib eye. But that's a combination of flavor and meat greed. I make it out for a good steak so rarely that when I do, I want something big. The fact that it's also delicious makes the large and juicy rib eye down-right perfect. But outside of beef gluttony at a steak house, I've never favored a particular cut of meat.

If I see a meat counter, my eyes glaze over in love and I just find the best and tastiest-looking cut I can afford, unless I'm hunting for a particular cut to make a particular dish. It never occurred to me that people would be loyal to just one small piece of a rather delectable beast.

Are you? Do you always grab the same cut? And if you do, why?
