Photos by Gerald E. McLeod Murphy's Steakhouse in Winchester specializes in big, thick beefsteaks. The menu covers a lot of other options, but order the steak, pure and simple. From the front, the gleaming white building doesn't look very big, but once you're inside the front door it opens up into a large dining hall. The light from the front windows bounces off the pressed-tin ceiling and illuminates the herd of animal heads gazing down on the diners. The former general store is so old-school that the chalkboard menu at the antique hostess stand almost looks high-tech.
