Prime Time - Myron's Prime Steakhouse offers big-city elegance in a small-town
Texas Techsan - November/December 2004

Mention of the south-central Texas town of New Braunfels teases things from the mind: shopping historic Gruene; kicking up your heels at Gruene Hall, Texas's oldest dancehall; water parks and floating the rivers. Fine dining wasn't usually in the forefront of most visitors' minds, that is until early 2003 when Bill Been '76 and his wife, JoAnna Maniatis Been '76 opened Myron's Prime Steakhouse downtown.... more

Myron's Steakhouse - Sophistication in New Braunfels
San Antonio Woman - July/August 2004

If ever there were a dean of the local steakhouse scene, it would be Bill Been. Veteran of Old San Francisco as well as the Cadillac Bar and most recently Swig, Been has witnessed the rise and fall of steak stocks in lockstep with the latest dietary craze. (Note: If you’ve been on another planet for the past couple of years, Atkins advocates consider steak the equivalent of the Holy Grail, and the price of beef has risen accordingly.)... more

Chefs' Secrets: Blue cheese dressing simply sings

I have several times thought of sending in a request and this is one I wanted so much I'm finally actually writing you. My husband and I have been to the wonderful Myron's Steak House in New Braunfels a couple of times and enjoyed the entire meal, but the highlight was their terrific blue cheese dressing. It's great and so fresh-tasting on the nice slice of iceberg lettuce they serve it on. I have made four or five different blue cheese dressings since, hoping to somehow duplicate it. While there were some good ones, they still can't compare. Can you help?... more

Eat big - and prepare to atone
San Antonio Current - September 25, 2003

Bill Been (pronounced as though you're English) has been (American version) around. From Old San Francisco to Swig, his hospitality history includes several steakhouses, and it all seems now to have building toward the opening of Myrons, his own hock-the-house place in New Braunfels. It's a shame he had to leave town to realize his dream, but the move might prove to be more astute than we had imagined... more

Myron's knows beef and more
San Antonio Express-News - June 20, 2003

NEW BRAUNFELS — Bill Been has learned his lessons well. A former manager of the Old San Francisco Steakhouse and a one-time Ruth's Chris Steak House employee, Been has ventured out on his own with Myron's Steak House here. The result is both homage to his former employers and refreshingly idiosyncratic in this area... more
