Looks like a rib roast to me but what do I know, I still call bone broth stock.

Lol, Andy.
If I order 1, does that mean 7 little tomahawks?

That’s a Tomahawk roast.

I've read that tomahawk steaks came about because cattle are bred to be much larger than they used to be, so the muscles the primal cuts come from are larger. People are used to steaks looking a certain way. Marketing to the rescue! [emoji38]
"But larger cattle also means larger muscles. For restaurants and grocery stores, that has proved a challenge.
"It's a lot more work for our meat-cutters, I'll tell you that," said Travis Doster, the spokesman for Texas Roadhouse, a steakhouse chain with more than 400 locations.
"The issue, Doster and others say, lies in the growing diameter of cows' muscles: things like the longissimus, from which rib-eyes, top loins, sirloins and chuck eye are cut."

I'm with Andy. That is not a steak, it's a roast.
And, talking about cattle getting bigger, I'm sure some of you have already seen this:
How Did That Big Cow Get So Huge?

That I can agree with as you have some super duper long naked bones to look at.

I've seen steaks and roasts with the extended ribs still attached. Not sure I understand the allure. Yeah I know, "presentation". I think it looks stupid and makes it awkward for the diner to cut and eat the meat.

When grilling I grab the rib to turn the steak over. That's the only practical purpose I see.
Just an FYI, not a comment on your post, Texas Roadhouse is actually a pretty good place to get a good steak for a reasonable price. I didn't know they had that many locations. So far, I've never had a bad steak at any of the ones I've been to. On the other hand, I've never had a good steak at Outback Steakhouse.

It's only worth that to someone willing to pay it.

Agreed. We've been to 4 or 5 different locations, and all had very good steaks.

$1,200 for a steak? Pocket change for the folks here.
When someone puts a plate in front of me piled high with food, I get overwhelmed and can't eat more than two or three bites. I use a small salad plate now. I get my lunch delivered every week day. My favorite dish (soup) that they send me is the creamy corn chowder.
