The Backwards Man

I cook it on a pan. Much harder to clean a stone after use.

Gumbo

I don't see how people think it's expensive???
2 people for €22 in The Mint Leaf in Swords.

Cafe Carlo is approx same.

On the plus side, I usually give myself a decent tip if I cook it right!

biko

Beef or cow?

The Backwards Man

Why don't Cavan people eat venison?

Because it's deer.

Bleedin gimmick, if you like it rare or medium rare you have to eat it quickly, if you like it well done you have to sit there looking at it for 10 minutes and when you're done you smell like a frying pan. I don't go to a barber's to cut my own hair so I don't want to cook my own food in a restaurant.

It's a gimmick.

Sometimes going to a restaurant is not just for the food but also the experience. Had one a few weeks ago, was absolutly delicious. Was already cooked to order when it came out, but you could also add as much or as little different flavoured butters, seasoning, etc, if you wanted to sear or seal an indiviual slice. Was no more expensive as any other steak house, and added a new dimension to your meal.

You could always transfer it to the supplied plate.

Hootanany

How much is it if the Chef cooks it?

Stavros Murphy

I prefer pork on a plate. Or beef in a burger. Steak on a stone is just efffort. Feck back in there and cook it, ya chancer.

It's a load of sh*te.

Got one in south africa years ago.

I like my steak well done. The stone went cold, the steak still wasn't cooked the way i liked (i'd even taken to cut it to pieces)...i'd eaten all my sides and i was sitting there starving....what a load of crap.

Jaysus, and then I'll wash the plate and cutlery and make my own creme brulee!

Ha ha..Quit exaggerating...You've obviously never eaten at one of those restaurants. Rare/medium takes 30 seconds. Leave it on for a minute for it to be well done.

And if you have eaten at one maybe soneone should have explained that you cut small pieces of the steak and cook them as you want them, don't lob the whole thing on in one go. Peasant!

Hootanany

But whole steak is on the stone when its brought to you.

i'm not trekking out to Swords to eat a steak on a stone. 100% gimmick.

Love eating steak when I'm on a stone buzz, weed + decent munch = the good times!

Can you then get blood from a stone if you cook a nice t bone on it?

That's because we South Africans prefer to serve steak as opposed to shoe leather. Hence the stone was programmed to ignore your, frankly, rather ludicrous request to burn it to a crisp.

A job well done (so to speak).

Never understood those who get steak well done..have you no taste buds?

FreshKnickers

This steak is so raw it's eating the salad!

If you like steak well done, then you don't really like steak at all.

Not in the places I've eaten at. Steak is on a plate and you cut pieces off and cook them as you want them so that each piece is hot and cooked exactly how you want it.

Never had it myself but was in a restaurant with a friend who ordered it before. Looked pretty cool. Would be nice to try it just for the experience. but I wouldn't pay a ridiculous amount for the privilege though.

Never understood those who moan about or look down on people who like their steak well done. It doesn't make the tiniest difference to anyone how another person likes their steak cooked; whether it's burned to a crisp or mooing on the plate, you're not the one who has to eat it so why do you give a crap? Amazingly, people have different tastes in food and not everyone likes things the same way.

:rolleyes:

I know people like to complain about picky eaters but food snobs are so much more painful to listen to imo.

Nothing more defensive than someone who cremates their food alright.
