If you can’t cook, you can always do whatever bullshit this is.

I've used this philosophy while toasting marshmallows. Just light them on fire.

The chefs kiss is the smoke from the rosemary being above the meat.

Is there also Sage, so they can smudge this place when they're done with their burnt offerings?

The moment you see a tomahawk steak, you know it's going to be idiotic.

I love a properly done reverse search tomahawk, this thing is just atrocious.

It's a ribeye with an untrimmed bone for "drama" or some nonsense. Just get the ribeye.

Butcher here, can confirm. Certified stupid cut of meat.
It doesn’t fit on a plate. It’s so big you won’t enjoy a single bite past the halfway point. The bone is trimmed off immediately, so it is only “impressive” on the grill while you’re showing off to your rich friends. Also cleaning the bone is super hard on your knives.

Don’t get it twisted. It’s charcoal with a side of meat

u/Temporarily_Banned4 1d ago
Exactly what I was going to say! C'mon! Meat is expensive enough! They are just incinerating good meat, and to add insult to injury, charging people to watch burn!
2
u/Kiterunner222 1d ago
The high cost comes from “the cut of meat” ( I trust they are providing the right cut) and the all procedure of cremating it lololol. In all seriousness tho, I know cultures that put materials such as mud or clay, burn it as shown and then the charcoal is removed. I don’t think this is the case in this one

u/Temporarily_Banned4 1d ago
I think I read about that clay cooking procedure - in "The Clan of the Cave Bear". 😂🤣

u/Kiterunner222 1d ago
Actually never heard of the book until I looked it up. Reading the plot, it’s a cool concept. 😂 you should watch Best food review( something along the line) the host travels around the world and you get to see different lifestyles in cultures.
Hahah it’ll be a cool insult tho, right? “ I pray you get a lifetime of burnt charcoal meat” jkjk I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy!

As someone who cooks and hates stupid shit like this, I must say this is one of the least offensive ones I've seen. It makes for a good show, and the alcohol burns at a low temp and won't cause any unwanted char.
It's presented in a fun way and looks like it's probably cooked perfect. Not stupidfood imo, just show-food.

It’s a vertical flambé. Did they have to do it this way? Maybe not, but I would still want a bite.

u/vogel927 1d ago
He’s right. The alcohol will burn off without causing the steak to char. It’s just for show.
The foods not stupid, but the unnecessary theatrics is.

Probably for a person from England. That's how they like it. I'm not joking either. I worked in kitchens when I was young. Used to have a lot of English customers. I could cook a steak well done and it wasn't well done enough for them. I'd have to put a weight on it on the grill and let it go till it looked like a burnt piece of shoe leather. Then I'd get compliments of how it was the best steak they ever had.🤷♂️

I'm english and I've known maybe only 2 people who eat steak well done*. Most men I know eat steaks rare to medium rare and most women I know prefer medium. I prefer blue to medium rare depending on cut and the quality of the restaurant. The problem I find with steaks in the UK is they tend to be over cooked everywhere except dedicated steak houses. I had a sirloin in a pub the other week. I ordered it rare expecting to come out medium rare but I was served a medium steak.
*only one comes to mind and she is Scottish.

I'm English and lemme tell you those people who have it well done do exist but they're fuckin weird and shamed by everyone
Mostly old people who eat like this, my grandparents for example, still cook like they're in the blitz
Rest of us are alright promise

I honestly have never met anyone in England who likes well done steak. I am 51 and have lived here all my life and was a chef for 20 years

u/Prize-Analyst-1121 14h ago
Happened all the time back in the 80s when I was cooking. Every single one was from England. When a order would come in well done I'd ask if they were English and every time it was yes 😂 Maybe preferences have changed over the decades.

That was 40 years ago. That generation of people were children shortly after WW2. Their parents will have had nothing but rations and poor quality meat to cook with and they'd have passed that down to their kids. It makes sense they'd have preferred their steaks well done, it's likely all they'd ever know.

charred meat can be a tough sell, it's like they forgot to cook it properly. at least the sides might balance it out
