The steakhouse seems to be local (as not in Bulgaria)
;; ANSWER SECTION:
steak.burri.to.         300     IN      A       205.201.58.8

Not sure if related, but a long time ago I had snort reporting my machine 
sending requests to external IPs, port 80
Looking at the details, as far as I remember, Opera sent out requests, 
probably to refresh some of their banner ad stuff...

As kbob said: Use ethereal.
 ...and let us what kind of 'steak' was requested
