I figured after I read this, everyone would be telling the OP he should have known she didn't eat beef. Not true. If he was preparing dinner for them, she should have told him about any restrictions. It's the polite thing to do so this exact thing doesn't happen.

aww that sounds like a great dinner. hello..he said new girlfriend, you don't automatically learn that someone doesnt eat beef if she doesnt mention it.

That's your own dumbass fault. A rack of ribs as a romantic dinner? That's the best you could do?

When I see the phrase "rack of ribs" I think pork. Which is NOT beef. Sorry, dude. You'll find a girl that appreciates your cooking.

I dont' eat meat but if my gf put that much love into a meal for me. I would eat it. she would however know i prefer and eat a vegetarian diet. But well. it is life. you should have asked her, or she should have told. there could have been food allergies. Ultimatly it is both of your responsibilities.

Aw that's really sweet! But how did you not know she doesn't eat beef? Don't be discouraged... even though YDI :P

This reminds me of "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" haha

Theres still the broccoli & buttermilk buscuits?

You probably should have taken 2 seconds out of the 4 hours to ask your gf if she eats meat.

Well, she can eat the other food. And that leaves more ribs for you.
