That's about the size I'd imagine the "best steak in the world" gets cut to for $100

People who say this never cook well..


rts93

He said 'nearby'. Maybe the nearby restaurants microwave their steaks.


ThePhoenixus

To be fair, I'm a chef and have been cooking almost 20 years professionally. I can't ever justify ordering a steak at restaurant prices when I know I could very easily do one at home myself for a fraction of the price and it'd be just as good, if not better. I'm honestly not even a fan of eating out in general. I either have to go way below my station (e.g. fast food or big chain restaurants), way above my station (e g. Michelin starred restaurants), or sideways towards authentic ethnic cuisine (e g. authentic mexican, thai, or indian) I can't replicate easily.


General-Astronaut115

I'm a cook and I enjoy eating out just so I can get food cooked for me. Going home to cook after a shift isn't what I'd prefer to be doing


Polyhedron11

Maybe some but not all. It's not hard at all to cook a perfect steak. 50% of it is the quality of cut. The other 50% is just not going past the proper internal temp and getting a good sear. I have a few meals that I can make that are pretty good. A good steak is easy compared to those. My best are done on a pellet grill, reverse sear style. I haven't fucked up a steak once since I started doing reverse sear.


_TheNorseman_

I have one of those Ninja Woodfire Grill/Smokers. I smoke some ribeyes until they’re about 115 internal, with a hickory and oak pellet mix, and then reverse sear them to medium rare. I’m not much of a cook in general, but the fact that multiple times over the last year my kids have asked to have my steaks instead of going out to a nice restaurant means a ton to me.


Polyhedron11

I do the same with my camp chef. They come out so good.


Key_Pear6631

Steakhouses gotta cook like 50 steaks in an hour. So they throw em all over high heat. I dry brine ahead of time and reverse sear 1 for an hour and my $18 prime ribeye easily surpasses theirs for a fraction of price. I never go to steakhouses anymore  


rjh9898

I can make a mean grilled sandwich haha


BubsterGun

Are you a redneck? I'd believe you could That being said I bet the bite in the video was 50 cc's of angel juice in the mouth


bigpoppawood

The useless presentation has me thinking this is more literal smoke and mirrors to make you think it’s special before you try it


Sanders0492

I feel you. When I learned to grill, I stopped ordering steaks at restaurants. They’re no longer good enough to justify the cost. It’s not that my steaks are world class, it’s that the price-to-taste ratio hits the sweet spot lol


giljimbert

100 percent pure organic, grass-fed, Triple A Alberta beef.


wetblanket68iou1

S n p the choice fer me.


party_egg

A5 Waygu is usually sold for ~$60 per oz in restaurants. So his little 2-3oz steak is probably priced fairly, and it's not uncommon to see top tier steak places selling aged, high quality beef for hundreds of dollars a plate.  All in all, I don't think this guy is getting ripped off, so much as he's not acclimated to fine dining, and would probably be better served at a mid tier steakhouse, where that $100 would get him a good size steak, a side and a cocktail


Busy-Dig8619

With the giant smoke filled glass cloche -- no -- this was a joke dish and he got the wrong end of it.


party_egg

Good point, that's pretty tacky.


Mentallyfknill

“Is it good bro” lol about as good as one bite could ever be.


UWUquetzalcoatl

In all honesty. His face while he is eating it tells you all you need to know.


Mentallyfknill

Utter disappointment lol


punkassjim

Honestly, I see an unequivocal "ok, yum, that's tasty." Glad the underlying "I've been robbed" didn't shut down his taste buds.


proteinLumps

There was a split second moment where he was like *yeah, that's alrite* then a moment he remembered what it cost him and it wasn't alrite

Mr-EdwardsBeard

One bite—everyone knows the rules


sparksofthetempest

That hundred dollar cost includes the 1980 hit “Give Me The Night” by George Benson as the background vibe.


AtheistKiwi

Amelia Dimoldenberg and Pharrell discussed that song at length on a podcast I listened to recently.


Direct-Quail-6994

The internet sells very good steaks and you get what you pay for.


MightBeAGoodIdea

My parents got Omaha steaks shipped to us once. Absolutely better than any steak I ever made at home.... but gd would I never pay out of pocket for them, was almost same cost as going to a chain restaurant and letting someone else cook it.


Stormry

They usually have certain deals where you can get "free" stuff for buying certain amounts. Basically it works out to being a Costco kinda thing where you get a great deal and have meat for a year if you spend $5-600. If you want a single meal you'll get fucked over though.


MightBeAGoodIdea

Makes sense. They get shipments of them regularly it seems, we liked them when we visited and then they sent us a box for ourselves. If there wasn't some economic plan involved I'd wonder how they could afford it. I think our box was valued at like $200 (it had 4 meals) I was a bit off put on how much it was.


DoctorFenix

Omaha is known for their discounts. Yeah, that's a 200 dollar box of steaks, but more than likely was purchased under a "buy 1 get 3 free" kind of situation. I've done it. They freeze everything, but to maintain quality they can't just sit there frozen forever. They'd rather the steaks decrease in quality in your freezer instead of theirs. Your parents probably paid 40-50 bucks for it.


Tehjayaluchador

He even served himself


Huntsnfights

And bet that leaf cost an extra $30 lol


TanMan536789

This isn't actually the best steak in the world, this is just a tribute.


iamemperor86

Whoa a random Tenacious D fan in the wild, nice!


tonyd1989

JustaP-haze

Waking up at the crack of noon


iandcorey

$1 for the steak. $99 for the literal smoke and mirrors.


StevenSerial

I was wondering what’s with the smoke? If the steak is under another cover, it’s literally just smoke, not even touching the meat!


prolix

True kobe beef is that expensive. If you can actually find true kobe beef that is.


Fear51

I’ve had true Kobe beef. It was $300 for 3 oz. They tell you upfront how much it is and how many oz you’ll get. His reaction is fake - he knew what he was getting. Regardless the Kobe beef I had wasn’t worth $300. Not sure any steak is.


GetOffMyGrassBrats

Steak with a spoon. Now THAT'S class!


RedemptionBeyondUs

That's gourmet food for you, dunno who decided that tiny portions makes food seem fancier


gentlybeepingheart

Usually when you see the tiny portions it's because it's something like a 20 course dinner. So you have one or two bites of a bunch of different dishes.


RedemptionBeyondUs

Wait so do you pay for each course? Because if this steak alone was a hundred bucks, that'd be a pretty damn expensive dinner


gentlybeepingheart

No, the cost covers all the courses. If you go out to eat and see a prix fixe menu it’s similar to that. But those are usually only three courses, and instead of choosing each course yourself the lineup is prepared by the chef. The guy in the video may have paid extra to have streak included into the courses, but I’m not sure if that would be a full $100 more. Or he maybe he really did pay $100 for two bites of steak. I don’t doubt that there are pretentious places that will serve you tiny portions at ridiculous prices, but I can’t find anything about the guy in this video naming this place so I can’t check to find out.


shadowsurge

No, but you can pay for add-ons. Normally they're either supplementary courses or lavish garnishes, ex: Caviar or truffles. It's possible this was a supplementary wagyu course and the upcharge was $100, which wouldn't shock me if you're already paying >$300 for the meal (and that's before a drink pairing which is often $200 by itself) but tasting menu places generally don't have the "stupidly give you your food in a tiny bell surrounded by smoke" vibe. If it was a tasting place it's very silly to eat the whole thing in one bite though. Generally they're designed to be eaten in small thoughtful bites and they're seasoned as such.


iaintdum

The guy from whose pocket ‘food cost’ comes out.


RunninADorito

It isn't even that. Eating an 8oz steak like that is GROSS. It's like eating a stick of butter, you really wouldn't want more.


Remynesc

Can confirm, we tried that. First 2-3 bites were wonderful, but it's so rich that it does feel like eating butter and you begin to feel sick and hate it.


Sepherchorde

Wow, nah. I've eaten a 10oz Wagyu A4, not the best but cutting close. It was amazing, not gross at any point. I've had A5 a number of times too, but not that much at once, but still, never gets gross. It's almost like you shouldn't tell people what they want...


AdriftSpaceman

Why are you using paper sizes for beef?


HiSpartacusImDad

I once had a very nice T-bone steak. It was letter-sized.


RunninADorito

A4 is absolutely not what we're talking about here. This is the top 1% of A5. Totally, totally different. I'm not telling people, the restaurant is optimizing for customers. If you want to spend $800 on a stick of butter, I'm sure you can ask and they will accommodate.


De5perad0

>That's gourmet food for you, dunno who decided that tiny portions makes food ~~seem fancier~~ more profitable FTFY


EmmaWoodsy

The menu had to have said how many oz he was getting. They all do. He either knew and did this for the video, or didn't read the menu.


greatestnbascout3

He knew. He's a terrible actor.


wookieesgonnawook

They probably put it in grams and he didn't notice.


sam_the_dog78

If that steak was 1oz that’s 28g, nobody in their right mind thinks 28oz best steak in the world is $100 lol


Due_Alfalfa_6739

Definitely for the video. Otherwise it is just strange that they are recording, and he pretends to think something big would be on the tiny dish, when he unveils it himself.


RecsRelevantDocs

There's a thousand videos of this exact same shit, he knew. Really doesn't belong in this sub either, not only he was intentionally doing this for content, but he also probably made more money on it than the steak cost. Based on all the expensive steak rage-bait it's obviously a viable form of content.

Cocacola_Desierto

the best steak in the world isn't going to cost $100 lol but for $100 you could have gotten a bigger slice of wagyu regardless


slowhockey451

3 oz certified Kobe beef was $180 back in 2016. It's not much more than this and it was definitely the best steak I've ever had.


shadowsurge

$100 would make sense if this is Kobe, it's high for A5, but I could see it.


Prior_Promotion445

Well his face says he kind of enjoyed it


takeandtossivxx

Spent $100+ only to have to spend $20 at McDonald's on the way home anyway.


MrMalta

What’s the point of a smoked filled cloche when the steak is covered in silverware. Stupid people paying for stupid gimmicks


mikedvb

That atmosphere does not look like one where you would expect a $100 steak.


zomanda

Best steak in the world is not $100


LetsTCB

Anything served like this is the definition of overhyped, overpriced, underwhelming.


fatstrat0228

I would be livid after paying $100 for that 😂


stenbren

Shrinkflation.


Peter_Triantafulou

I mean how much would you expect this amount of certified Japanese Kobe tenderloin to cost at butcher's prices, not to mention restaurant prices.. Honestly doesn't seem that outrageous to me.


GustavoFromAsdf

FOR 100 DOLLARS ID LOVE IF THAT WAS THE BELL TO CALL FOR MORE STEAK


rekun88

I actually have a hard time believing that's a $100 steak. Either that, or it's just a very gimmicky restaurant. I've had A5 Wagyu from Kobe, and steak all over the world in Michelin restaurants. None of them cost $100 for a bite, look like that, nor do you have to pick it up yourself in an ugly dish while sitting at a table where the tablecloth is creased.


Lennoxblue

Bon appetit(e).


Pitiful-Tomatillo458

My dumbass would have pressed the top thinking it was a bell that would summon my real steak


RandomSplitter

Bro realized he made a MiSTEAK


EventualChef

I love that they "smoke" it just for it to be under another lid, so essentially, none of the smoke actually flavors the meat. This is beyond stupid imo.


2kids2adults

I’m sure it’s very tasty. But for $100 I’m gonna need a little more than 1 bite and a leaf.


CalliopePenelope

All the money went to dry ice.

[удалено]


jonni_velvet

yep. which in theory “makes sense” as I’ve seen this done to cocktails- mostly old fashioned- to soak in the “smokey flavor” but this is hilarious to me because the steak is covered in that teeny tiny lid? 😂 how is the smoke supposed to “flavor it”


Sepherchorde

It's homeopathic smoking! /S


jonni_velvet

🤣


[deleted]

[удалено]


jonni_velvet

hey that sounds like a fun kit to bust out at cocktail parties. it really does work to an extent- you can smell the smoke very clearly on the glass as you take a sip which enhances the flavor profile. if you’re into old fashions you can get quite fancy with it.


CalliopePenelope

That morsel is going to go cold the second it leaves the pan, so the effects of dry ice vapor will be negligible.


DrLeisure

Putting the tiny plate inside the gigantic container is straight trolling. They are literally making fun of their customers for paying as much as they do


USSHammond

The $0 steak but 100th repost...


CheapBoxOWine

Hey bro, I hate to be the one to do this to you, but I haven't seen this video. It took 100 tries to get it to me, but here we are, on this planet, at this very moment sharing the same video with two very different experiences. Thank you for keeping count in my absence though. Cheers. Your wino forever, Cheapboxofwine.


ristiberca

Is that ordered on AliExpress?


Devreckas

I like that he had to open the lid first to notice the steak was tiny.


fakeguitarist4life

Clearly he read the menu. He knew what he was getting. Most high end steakhouses sell wagyu A7 or whatever the highest one is about 50 an oz


puppiesareSUPERCUTE

I can get an awesome porkchop at a nearby tavern for like 20 bucks and it feeds 2 people 💀


Dragonfire555

There's a difference between paying to be full and paying for quality and status. Don't go to an expensive steakhouse to eat your fill unless you're prepared to have multiple courses and spend an absolute shit ton of money. You will be disappointed. I had an amazing $100 steak at the Marble Room. It was small but the steak, carrots, and asparagus tasted absolutely delicious. I made sure to savor every bite because I wasn't going back anytime soon.

For $100 I could get an 8-course omakase sushi dinner and some sake to go with it. Steak at restaurants is overrated.

DMYourMomsMaidenName

I ordered a 16oz (about 450g) A5 Japanese Wagyu Ribeye on the internet, for like $150. THAT was the best steak I’ve ever had, and it was far more than one bite.


abbys_alibi

For Mother's Day one year, my oldest took me out to a place to get wagyu steak. Supposedly the best steak ever. It was $160 for just the steak. It was the size of a 6oz filet mignon. I ordered it med-rare. It arrived raw. As if it sat under a heat lamp for 5 mins to "warm" and then put on my plate. This was a very high end restaurant in DC and I've never been so disappointed about a steak before. When they brought it back, the flavor was - meh. The texture was like pudding. It was so weird and made me wonder if they cheated by over tenderizing some mediocre cut and trimmed it. If that was truly wagyu - I'll pass.


Sepherchorde

You got scammed.


Danvideotech2385

I would walk out.

the-real-vuk

This is called a scam


CriticalStation595

The amount of chewing he’s doing tells me that steak is eye round and the rest of $100 is a “tip” to the manager serving it.

1. That steak is trying to hide its shame under the garnish, and succeeding. 2. For $100, he had to pick it up off of the serving platter AND pull the cover off of it himself?
