    best steak… Jeff Ruby’s in Cincinnati

    worst steak… I’ve made some pretty aweful steaks, but there was also a restaurant in St. Louis where I had a hanger steak that was overcooked with some burnt sauce… horrible. Fortunately for them, I don’t remember the name of the place.

    Interesting show on the box wines. I’ve heard the Killer Juice cab isn’t all that bad.

    The best steak I ever had was at Grill 23 in Boston. It was a filet and we had it with a Hamilton Rusell pinot noir. The worst was at Ponderosa Steakhouse in Puerto Rico. I was there on business and was forced to go with a client. Wow was it chewy!!

    Best- Ruth Chris steakhouse ribeye

    Worst – my grandmother cooks Omaha steaks on the original Foreman grill. Any one of those blackened jerky cuts would fit.

    The Box wine idea was exciting… too bad they didn’t turn out better. I always get trashed at family get togethers because I talk down the Franzia they everyone loves… totally glorified grape juice. Not bad… just like Welch’s, but in a box…

    QOTD: Best steak was a Delmonico Steak at Ocean Point Inn in East Boothbay, Maine… The worst.. easily any steak I make myself… I just feel sorry for the cow… like Beef Jerky, only not good…

    I had an unbelievable ribeye at BLT Prime in New York a few months ago. I think the atmosphere of the place added to it. They served it with bone marrow which put it squarely over the top.

    QOTD:
    Best steak: I had a great porterhouse at Keen’s in NYC 2006, celebrating a product launch just me and my employer. I can’t remember a better steak than that.

    Worst steak: When I first came to the US and did not know the names of the American butcher cuts (I come from Sweden) I bought some of the wrong cuts, thinking it was grilled steak material. Ended up with extremely big pieces of gamey steaks, nice surface, but impossible to chew. horrible experiences. My chewing muscles ache when I think about it.

    Best steak: Peppercorn & Cognac steak at V-Mertz in Omaha (Nebraska).
    Worst: A NY strip from Lonestar that was at least 50% fat. Massive turn-off. They didn’t have enuf alcohol in that place for me to be able to eat it.

    Great episode today! I’ve only ever had Franzia, which was my first exposure to wine (not so good)

    Best: This one I cooked up last summer. The stars aligned and it came out perfect!
    Worst: Probably at some chain restaurant, came out overcooked or overseasoned. There have just been so many…

    Gary Awsome show, so great that you did box wines… Anyway the best steak i ever had was a steak au poivre in NC. The worst steaks are probably the breakfast places for steak and eggs.

    I must say that the best steak I’ve ever had was one that I prepared myself on the San Juan Islands here in WA state. The worst…Waffle House steak and eggs…sorry but I had to try it back in the day.

    GV…I would be watching so much more of this show, but now that you no longer ship here I’ve kind of let it go. Politics, eh.

    Best steak: Some place in Austin, TX, where I told them I what I wanted, and I swear the waiter went out back, I heard a gunshot, and I’m eating sweet, rare filet mignon 10 minutes later. You be the judge…

    Worse steak: Before reaching adulthood, I’m pretty sure I thought “well done” was a superlative. So, anything from that era.

    Love the show, trying to get a party together for the Xmas box!

    Great show.

    best steak ever was at a place called Gene and Georgettis Steak house in Chicago, very old school and one of the best places to go in the midwest. Worst steak beleive it or not was at Mortons, they seared it until it was black charcoal.

    Interesting show! Well done

    Best steak: Morton’s Steakhouse in Atlanta had a New York Strip that I still have dreams about to this day. So flavorful, juicy, and yummy.

    Worst steak: buddy of mine decided to get into cooking. He wanted me to try his first-ever attempt at a Pittsburgh-style steak. It tasted like a towel that had been thrown in to a bonfire for a minute then pulled back out.

    Best steak ever… well the best steak recently was at my hotel, the Hawthorn in Arlington WA.. They have a filet with a smoked bearnaise sauce that is killer!!! The nastiest, was at the wafflehouse in Atlanta georgia, like a 6 month freezer burned shoe that my grandpa worn for 20 years! Bad Bad, or maybe it was just being that drunk???
