Re: Whats the biggest Steak you've eaten ?

That's impressive, but I'd be up for it. In American steak houses you do see some amazing cuts of meat, one of the biggest I must have seen was a bear steak, but no idea of the size.

what can i say, i was hungry that day.....(had actually been working for 5 hours on our garden, so was literally starving...lol)

also it was initially supposed to be for me and my dad, but he ended up having to go for a game of bowls and the food wouldnt keep another day so i figured i'd stick it on the plate and eat what i could....heh

this was 2 years ago iirc......nowadays i couldnt eat half that....lol...working in an office just doesnt work up an appetite...

Re: Whats the biggest Steak you've eaten ?

the biggest i've ever had is a 20oz, at this great little place called the farmhouse in portsmouth; you can get BOGOF vouchers from Morrisons supermarkets and have 2 meals to yourself if you're a greedy bugger (have done this a couple of times) £9.99 gets you a 20oz steak, chips, peas, mushrooms, onion rings on a huge platter.. i add to this three side orders of scampi (3 x 4 pieces at £1 for 4) just to complete the meal

Re: Whats the biggest Steak you've eaten ?

I've had the $50.00 50oz Porterhouse at Charlie's in Orlando - hold the fries, hold the corn, hold the onion rings, hold everything. I managed some salad but the steak was hard work. Only left some fatty bit.

Best steak house in the world

Now that's a nice Steak House, the one on International Drive right? I love the grill they use to sill the meat, adds a stunningly unique taste. One thing though, the lighting was so dark that when the waiter brings his tray of meat for you to choose your cut they have to use a torch to point.

Re: Whats the biggest Steak you've eaten ?

A friend of mine had 1.5 KG of steak in Australia - three t-bones of about 18 oz each. They were a group of lads who all did it - if they all finished their 3rd steaks they were free (they still paid for 1 and 2). They just about did it, but one of them couldn't go on near the end and the rest had to help him out with his last. The restaraunt was pretty particular as to when they were finished - every last bit had to come of off the bone.
