I am sure some have a 6oz in a filet, but the only 6oz steaks I usually see are at the TGIF's style places like Roadhouse, Longhorns, etc and that is mostly to right size the pricing of the menu to lower budgets that still want a nice steak...they will even have 6 oz lesser cuts like sirloin.
Apparently, NS1 posted the menu for a TGI Fridays earlier, as they have a 6oz filet (and a 7 and an 8) on the menu.
I can't help that you go to poor quality restaurants. The steak houses I regularly frequent have an 8oz filet at one, and a 6oz and 10oz at the other.
8oz is probably the most common offering, but 6oz is not uncommon at all for higher end steak houses, especially on aged USDA Prime filets.

Please enlighten us about the restaurants, I am sure somehow these need to be kept secret in your world.
(this is actually to Alky but he's on my ignore so I can't properly quote him)
once again, a high end steakhouse that has 2x6oz, 7oz, 2x8oz, and 9oz on the menu. In my experience higher end steakhouse cuts come in 2 sizes, dainty/appropriate and gargantuan.
Bern's also offers a 6 oz filet. However; Bern's is like the butcher's steakhouse, they will cut almost anything your way which is cool.
Puck's restaurants IMHO are glorified tourist traps.

those are probably the two I end up at most often (once or twice a month). Places like BLT in DC or Bobby Van's steakhouse are usually around the holidays, or for my birthday.

I wouldn't order steak at a place that would overcook it to begin with. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Those two are nothing like a high end steakhouse which is my debate with a 6 oz filet the only one that has that 6 oz filet is the one with TGIF pricing on the menu.
My income is in a minority bracket too, does that mean it's bad?
wait, $20-40 steaks are TGIF pricing?

Guess I haven't been to TGIF in awhile, can't remember them being that expensive.
Minority opinion does not imply incorrectness
Tourist trap food (Guy Fieri American Kitchen):
Non tourist trap food (CUT steak tasting)

The very first thing on the menu is "Fried Clams • 5.95." Might as well order chicken nuggets and french fries.
Given that the raw material cost of a prime aged steak is ~$15-20/lb, yes.
I never said it was prime aged steak, I just said it was the steakhouse I go to most often.
Also, TGIF doesn't even have a porterhouse or a filet.
