QOTD: Best steak ever Harris Ranch Porter house. Worst steak, some 2 dollar tv dinner.

QOTD: Best steak I’ve had was at a little restaraunt just off the strip in Vegas, 4″ thick filet seared medium rare and topped with a blue cheese and butter sauce, just awesome. Worst steak was an overly fatty, overcooked ribeye at an outback steak house. I’ve never been back, yuck.

QOTD: Best steak ever was a NY strip at Capital Grill in DC. Worst steak ever was one from a NY steak house whose name I have purposely forgetten.

BOX WINE! I haven’t gotten up the courage to venture into that realm yet, but maybe the Bandit could turn me in that direction.

QOTD: Best: Filet mignon, BIN 8945 restaurant, LA, CA, served over garbanzo beans and English peas in veal jous, alongside some spaetzel. Worst: I have a memory of extremely thin steak cooked WAY too long over my Mom’s grill (bless her usually-fantastic-chef soul) in the middle of summer, and I worked up a sweat just trying to cut a bite-size piece…then it came to chewing. Let’s just say that consuming a piece was a thoroughly exhausting ordeal.

QOTD: mine answers are….
Best: black pepper grilled steak in Peter’s at Beijing, a Mexican Restaurant
Worst: Over-cooked “rare” steak served with some BBQ source, in Athena Restaurant, Beijing.

Thanks for the episode, enjoying it with my dinner and table wine.:)

Hey Gary
Funny question of the day for a Vegetarian – haha!!

QOTD: I have to think back about 6 or 7 years or maybe 8 now – filet mignon from Delmonico Steak house at the Venetian in Vegas – I don’t remember the worst steak.

I was excited to see you doing box wines tonight – but dissappointed that most of them got slammed. I am really hoping that wine quality picks up with the boxxee box, because I really do appreciate the reduced evironmental impact as well as the increased value. I don’t think they will look as pretty in my cellar but oh well. 🙂

See ya

QOTD: Best steak was a free-range all natural filet from a local specialty butcher in Westboro, MA who unfortunately is no longer in business. You could cut it with a spoon. Worst would have to be and one of the way too many steaks I’ve had at the Golden Corral.

QOTD: Best Smith & Wollensky T-bone NYC. Worst: Me and a grill at age 20.

QOTD –
Worst steak ever, sorry to say, but probably my dad’s … oops.
he is just killing them and making sure again and again they are dead. love you pa…

Best steak, happy to say, mine – ha ha, yes!
Gary you are welcome for a dinner to try it out and if you don’t like them I’ll pay you the air ticket back.

BTW,
when will you be doing international shipping?

Great show,
Tzahi

Cool show! I’m always surprised when in France or Spain to see how many boxes of wine are in the supermarkets. Big with the CKCs I guess and people on route to a picnic. I’ve also seen lots of places where locals just take their empty bottles and get them filled from a selection of big plastic barrels. I love the way that people who grew up with wine and see it as part of their every day life are less hung up on detail and the peripherals. Seems they just want a drink to enjoy with a meal and the family. No big deal.

Steak… Has to be the one I had from butcher friend John on my 40th birthday. John was born above his butchers shop in a small Yorkshire market town where I lived and served the community all his life. Prices varied depending on how much money you had – guys in suits paid more, little old ladies on a pension paid less. Many times I’d drop in and find myself carrying great hunks of meat around for him or making a cup of tea at the back of the shop, chatting to the traffic warden and an old farmer who dropped in with some rabbits. John passed away unexpectedly a couple of months ago. Over 1200 people went to his funeral.

Worst steak. Can’t think… Most disappointing was one marketed by Jamie Oliver.

Best: A huge steak grilled by Mel Coleman Sr., one of the legends of the meat industry, at his family’s ranch in Colorado. My teenage son ate two. Runner-up: The prime rib I’ve cooked for the past four or five Christmas dinners. All were superb.

Worst: An unchewable slab of leather I idiotically bought at a discount supermarket because it was on sale.

QOTD: best – steak i grilled for my bday last year.. wegmans fyfga prime dryaged ribeye.. cut like warm butter.. worst – the steak my wife “tried” to cook earier the same day.. (sry)

Best steak: NY strip from the organic butcher in Charlottesville, VA.

Worst Steak: The filet I threw up all over the table at a restaurant on my 16th birthday. The steak, I believe, was just the unfortunate victim of something toxic eaten earlier in the meal.

Best Steak – Wolfgang’s New York City
Worst Steak – Charlie Brown’s – Carlstadt NJ

hello
QOTD: The best steak i had was a medium-raw hanger steak in southern france at a friends house, they call it “onglet”,served with simple baked potatoes, the worse was in a restaurant back home, overkooked, very very dry.

QOTD: Premium Steak grilled at home, with the fam, just can’t be beat. The ugly…Sizzler.

QotD: Best steak I’ve had was a veal steak at a restaurant in Italy. Worst steak was at 230 Fifth in Manhattan, not recommended at all. Your basic overpriced and gimmicky food with miniscule portions.

best steak….dry aged steaks from Lunds and Byerlys. On the grill.
Also a fillet in Tuscany with melted Fontina cheese and Black Truffles…yum

Can’t really put a finger on the best steak I’ve had but it must have been devoured with family and/or friends and wine here at home, right off the grill with fresh from the garden sides. Worst was from a discount retail store and so chewy that the dog wouldn’t eat it either.

QOTD: best steak was in the parking lot at the Meadowlands before a Giants/Eagles game in 1995. I t was a perfect October day and the steak was grilled perfectly, dipped in melted butter, and served with a side order of German beer! Worst steak was in my own back yard this past summer – extra well done and tough as nails.

QOTD: The best steak I have had…we have a “grill your own” steak house in the area! I would say, hands down, they have the best steaks…maybe because we end up drink several bottles of wine while we are there. After 2 hours with 8 of your greatest friends, 8 juicey steaks, and at least 8 bottles of wine…priceless!

Thanks gary for the awesome show…and the Christmas 4 pack!!!

The best stake is absolutely a medium minus entrecote stake in Bordeaux in a restaurant called Entrecôte!!!!

QOTD: Best Steak was three days ago at the Strip House in Houston Tx. Fillet was pricey but worth every penny. Worst Steak was a shoulder steak marrinated in A-1 sauce and grilled over an open pit of pine. Tuffff and horrible flavor. I have heard these Montana Legend steaks are good. Maybe someday I will mail order fresh meat.
Loved todays theme.

QOTD: Best steak was from Jack Fry’s in the Ville, worst steak was probably from Sizzler.
