Pubs and Bars

Re: Pubs and Bars

I'm not interested in a turf war, I just can't believe you two philistines didn't know what entrecote means.

Imagine not knowing something as simple as that.

It's insane.

Yes you should have control over the flavour.

Red wine "yus" you can not beat.

Entrecote has a great steak guide I'll try and find.

My wife has her psych practise near Bistro D'Orsay on Collins you can't beat that for a nice piece of cow.

The peppercorn was actually crusted/ charred onto the cut. It was almost send back material irrespective of the doneness being on the money. It should have come with a warning at the time of ordering, you know, something like "BTW when we say with peppercorn we mean we're going to burn that shit onto the meat" or something similar.

I'll try the place on Collins, I like a low profile bistro meal (thanks for the recommendation).

I was never a huge fan of Entrecote (whatever that's supposed mean) in its old venue due to it's overall pretentiousness and quality not quite meeting price. I still went there from time to time because overall it wasn't bad. I haven't been to the new venue, but given it's where Fog used to be I can't see how it would have gotten any less pretentious.

More and more I am happy with how I can prepare a decent cut of beef and the cost I can do it for, versus what I get served up at restaurants/ pubs. While I can't deliver a cut over charcoal due to the Weber being in storage because of space constraints, I have gotten better and better at grilling and pan frying......which in lieu of the chronic jerking off over SVs and charcoal finishes have become a bit of a forgotten art.

If you want a really good piece of meat try Grill Americano on Flinders Lane - bit more expensive than a pub meal.

I’ve been trying. Easier to get a reservation at Dorsia than that place.

That is the trouble. Have you tried the walkin option?

Re: Pubs and Bars

Why do they need to put so much shit on/ around the steak?

Best meal in Melbourne town is Gimlet. No if's, no buts, no maybes.

Re: Pubs and Bars

Ordering a steak at a restaurant or pub is normally a fairly safe option, the problem is that I haven't too many better than what I can prepare at home and it's typically 4 times the price of what I buy at the butchers.

Camouflage or to make it look fancy.
