Best steak – stick to the basics- steak for 1, 2, 3, 4 ………or even 10 at peter lugars….cooked the way you want it and the quality is always there

Worst steak – I think it was actually dog, but in the interior of the island of Naxos in Greece, my wife and I chose poorly……very poorly.

Worst steak, without a doubt was at Las Palmas, down the road from our house in Naples Italy. It was called a Barolo steak…we figure it was stray dog that drank cheap Barolo only hours before it made it’s way to our table.
Best steak, hard to say…I’ve had a lot of good meat 🙂

QOTD
Best Steak: Filet Mignon with Parmesan crust at Nove steakhouse at the Palms in Las Vegas
Worst Steak: First attempt at using my George Foreman grill (not pretty)

Best – Kansas City cut filet from Casa Mia near Ottawa, IL
Worst $2 bacon wrapped filets from Walmart (They actually look good in the package) terrible

Hey Gary! I’ve been a lurker since August (I heard about your show on Diggnation), and figured it’s high time I leave a comment 😉
Keep up the great work!

BTW, here’s a fantastic Petit Verdot to try: Pirramimma McLaren Vale Petit Verdot 2004 from Australia. It’s around $30 up here in Canada, but our prices are ridiculously high so I’m sure you can find it for less.

Best: Filet Mignon, Top of the World, Stratophere Tower, Las Vegas
Worst: Overcooked Cuban style steak at home

Best steak, beef medallions over arugula done to perfection on my grill with a good bottle of bordeaux and best friends.

Worst, filet mignon at Kincaidâ??s, grisly and tasteless. Paid 70+ dollars for 12 dollar bottle of BV cab.

QOTD: Best steak that I’ve every had was an aged Fillet from Whole Foods that I prepared “Fillet au Poirve” from recipes inspired by Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa in Paris) and Evan Goldstein (Perfect Pairings) at a lady friends house. Paired with the Leeuwin 2002 Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon.

Ordered the XMAS Pack.

Worst steak ever: outback, terrible beef and slammed with seasonings

Best steak ever: Alexander’s steakhouse in Champaign Il. Tiny town off a highway, great place. Alexander’s has refrigerator’s around the room full of meat. You chose your steak. I like the tenderloin, it is supple and melts in your mouth, but I love a good ribeye, the cut is just so much more “beefy”.

Oh ya… I guess I should enter the contest 😉

Best: a New York strip at this place in Victoria, BC, called Rick’s Grill

Worst: one time when I was little, I decided to reheat a steak in the microwave. Bad idea!

Best restaurant steak, filet mignon at the Octagon in Groton Ct.

Best steak, Kobe Steak in Yokahama at $350 for the steak alone, worst, at a Scottish Steak Restaurant in London. Scots apparently don’t know what to do with a steak, thin overcooked with watery mashed potatoes and soupy peas.

This episode did not change my opinion of boxed wines. I have tried over 50 different ones so far and not one beats a $6 bottle of wine. If this is a movement, it is a poor one.

The best steak was at Cite restaurant in New York, years ago when they were good, at one of their “wine dinners”. 5 Terrific wines with a 3 course steak dinner. It was $40 / person. You can’t go there anymore. The price kept going up, the quality declined, and then they closed this year.

The very worst. Outback Steak house special steak in Lansing, MI. I couldn’t eat it.

QOTD: best steak,, easy,, Land of Magic dinner club,, logan montana,, BEST.

worst,, a few,, don’t want to think about wasting good meat.

can’t remember having a bad steak or a good one sticking in my mund

I believe the best steak I’ve ever had was a filet, rare, wrapped in bacon, with sides of asparagus and mashed potatoes at the California Cafe. mmm.

worst steak… filet from texas roadhouse, was supposed to be rare, was butterflied and medium well. blach. It went back and i waited on another.

Gary awsome show. I never really think of drinking boxed wine…. I guess I’ll try the Bandit. Yo me and my friends had a college wine tasting party the other week. Lots of fun. Later

I gotta say I’m a bit disappointed about the box wines…although finding one good one could be considered a suprise by some. Too bad I’m not into the white wines…I was hopeful about the sharaz. Oh well.
QOTD- Best steak I ever had was a filet mignon in the Bahamas. It literally…and I mean literally melted in my mouth. The worst steak was one I made myself. Just out of the house and on my own, made a marinade out of whatever I could find in the fridge behind the beer, and fried it up in a pan on the electric stove. It tasted like hot dogs.
