What, not Franzia as a control?

QOTD: Worst steak – Ruby Tuesdays salt bomb ribeye
Best Steak – Ruths Chris Fillet

gary – thanks for *finally* doing a boxed wine show! i would enjoy if you would do a follow-up episode in the near future showcasing some other brands.
qotd; best: a ny strip prepared on my grill at home. worst: a ny strip forgotten about on my grill at home.

GV, you think I’m a creep cause Im leaving a message only win I can win crap? Well, I just blew more loan money on the holiday four pack so don’t complain!

ANYWAYS….

Worst steak: I tried to broil a rib eye at home…the butcher told me rib eye’s were good for broiling…well it tasted terrible.. it was the “beefy” taste, as much as that sounds weird, but I mean beefy like the smell of old raw meat…maybe the steak itself was bad, but was the worst thing ever.
Best steak: Little place in Highland Park, IL called Carlos’ … french restaurant run by Carlos and Debbie Nieto… rated number one chicago area restaurant in zagats.

Peace my brother!

QOTD: (Best) Japanese Hida (from Gifu province) beef eaten completely raw with miso sauce…unbelievable.

(Worst) One I made myself not long ago. Couldn’t read the package properly and my wife comes home and tells me that it’s supposed to be cut up and put in stew not pan fried (too late!) Tasted like an old-school Nike flip-flop sandal.

The best steak i ever had was at Rutherford Grill in Rutherford California and the worst sterak ive ever had was at Chili’s, it had no flavor at all

GV ~ As I expected, the box wine packaging is still potentially suspect ?

QOTD: Recent best steak would be thin sliced Kobe from Enjin at Lucent Tower, Nagoya, Japan. and worst would be the veggie steak my wife made at my request when I was in a vegetarian phase this past summer.(I don’t recommend fake steak, Ughhh)

Keep the thrills coming GV. Crzy OUT ~!!

The best steak I’ve had in a long time was a london broil maranaded in cheapo merlot, and put on the grill by me.

Here’s a question: Parker said something (regarding the bottled version i assume) along the lines of cuvee de pena is “the friedliest red wine in the world.” however, you weren’t a fan. Any opinions on why parker made that comment?

Great show. I’ve love to have you try the pinot grigio in a few weeks to see if has stayed pretty fresh and still warrants a good score.

QOTD:
Best steak is the peppercorn steak at V Mertz in Omaha.
Worst is any steak cooked Medium Well or Well done.

QOTD – Best steak ever, Plaza 3 in Kansas City, the KC strip
Worst steak ever, Charlie Browns in Fairfield, NJ

Hint for Gary: Pour box wines with the nozzle off the edge of the table.That way you can hold then glass and the switch.
QOTD: Best Steak – A beautiful piece from our local butcher cooked on the BBQ two weeks ago with olive oil, salt and pepeer. Worst – An over-grilled, over-cooked new years eve nitemare two years ago.

QOTD: Best Steak House is Epoque, Sydney Australia; Worst Steak at El Raigon, San Francisco

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???

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.

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.

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!

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.

QOTD
Best Steak: Steak Diane at a long gone Cajun restaurant in Westlake Village CA.
Worst Steak: Any of them that I have cooked!!!!!

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.

Best Steak: Carmichael’s Chicago Steak House
Worst Steak: Had to be at my mother-in-laws. All my worst would come from her cooking.

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…

Best steak – Fly fishing trip in the Wind River Range in Wyoming. 8 hours on a horse getting to the spot. Great porterhouse when we got there.

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.

QOTD-DEER/VENISON MARINADED FOR 2 DAYS-SEARED ON THE GRILL WITH HICKORY NUT HULLS !! DON’T EAT THE HULLS–USE FOR SMOKE !!

Best – Strip steak at Burns Steak house in Tampa, Fl.
worst – Sirloin at EB Greens in buffalo.

May have to try some boxes.

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.
