Restaurant offers steak-based leap-year proposals

They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach -- which is why a restaurant is offering ladies hoping to make a leap-year proposal the chance to do it with steak.

Amanda Barnett, a spokesperson for Beefeater Grill, said; “As all women know only too well, if we wait for the man of our dreams to make a move we could well be waiting for a long time!
