It was definitely Beef Steak Charlie's. I've never heard of Steak-n-Brew, although it sounds suspiciously like one of the myriad copy-cat names which were derived from the original Cask-n-Cleaver in nearby Upland, Califnordia.

Am I correct in assuming that by "the last RJ," you mean the novels leading up to NIGHTWORLD, and not the "prequel/YA-RJ" stories?

Steak-N-Brew existed around here. Not anymore, though.

Nightworld Borderlands Edition Question - iacon50 - 02-23-2007
so there aren't going to be any more updated versions of nightworld or the rest of the adversary cycle after the last rj is written? i wanted to by the borderlands versions but i just don't want to pay 60 bucks to have them be obsolete soon.
also should i wait to read repraisal and nighworld until after the last rj book comes out?

Welcome to the board Iacon!
The Adversary Cycle revisions are done and there won't be any further revisions. The revisions (mostly) help to keep the entire Adversary Cycle & RJ series in the same timeline. Nightworld's revisions also include things from the RJ series that did not exist when Nightworld was originally published.
I think it would be perfectly safe to buy the Borderlands versions. They are the "author's definitive" versions.
If you'd rather wait, they may eventually be released in regular trade hardcover versions sometime after the last RJ book is released. I'm pretty sure we can count on this for at least Nightworld.As for what to read, go ahead and read Reprisal now. It shouldn't spoil anything for you and it will probably enhance your RJ reading. Besides, it's just a darn good book - spookiest thing I ever read in my life!
Reading Nightworld before the last RJ is a tough call. Some are waiting, some have taken the plunge already.
If you're thinking about reading the REVISED Nightworld, you should NOT do it unless you have already read Harbingers! If you've read Harbingers, you won't spoil too much for yourself in advance by reading the revised Nightworld before the last RJ.
Still, it's a personal choice. As I said, some are waiting and others have gone ahead with it.
Whatever you decide, enjoy!

[SIZE="3"]What Webby said - right on the money.
The revisions of the first 5 books are locked in and definitive. Nor do I have any intention of doing more work on Nightworld. The Borderlands revision is right in line with what I plan for the remaining RJ novels. But never say never. Though unlikely at this point, the final books may take an unforeseen turn or two (I keep plans loose to allow for lightning strikes) and necessitate tweaks in the trade edition (years down the road).

I just the fact that FPW sets us straight with the facts. All we have to do is wait for the next twists in the story....oh...and to discuss them of course!
