All the beef has increased to 199 baht thanks to the 300 minimum scheme

Marcos has excellent local beef, but it just does not compare with decent imported stuff.

Chez Marcos serves "kho khun" Thai beef - the tenderloin is just as tender, just as tasty, as the imported Australia or New Zealand beef, if not better. If you are not familiar with kho khun beef, check out the string on this forum from a few months ago. Chez Marcos buys this beef at Rimping (Nim City), riced at 1,300 baht per kilogram. Good beef!

IMO, the beef that you are talking about is tender, but it does not taste nearly as good as U.S. beef - I'm not that familiar with beef from Australia and New Zealand. Don't get me wrong, I like Marco's beef, but it does not compare with what I am used to back home.

Franco Thai is excellent value for money.

Portions served are on the Large (German ) size and quality is normally high.

I personally have never had a bad or poorly prepared meal.

The young girl with the 'Gammy leg had her operation and though not perfect a big improvement. i understand a 'Vaccination' caused the original damage.

As for Filmore East, truly great food, broke my heart when he moved from Loi Khro and his Second location on the river has only reopened say three years after his contract was prematurely cancelled.

PS. SK hows about some more Donner Kebabs, speechless they where not on offer this last Saturday.

Is Filmore East open again? IMO, they were one of the best steak places that Chiang Mai has ever had.

They reopened on the banks of the Ping and had a three year lease.

The the owner of the property, told them out, Now, after say a year.

The name of the San Francisco owner (Ron ?) slips my memory, not an unusual event for me.

He argued but his 'Wife' said, out we go.

He told me he was back to the states to build up capital and he would return.

Place remained closed for about three years and reopened say 3 months ago.

Brilliant grub.

So, it has recently reopened in the exact same place on the river? Ron is still the owner? .

No sorry, wrong, my mistake, my bad English.

The owner of the Land has opened the Property as another business.

I understand the owner is a Thai lady and she had Ron and the other lessees out very quickly but then nothing happened for about three years, until Late last year.

Thanks for that. I'm glad that I did not go running over there expecting a USDA steak.

UG - Do you remember the pizza and steak place that was behind McDonald's Chang Klan? That was the only McDonald's in Chiang Mai at the time. I liked the steak in the little place behind and North of McDonald's in the same shopping complex and the price was very reasonable.

I remember the place, but never ate there. Too bad as edible steaks were hard to find back then.

Steak and pizza.... no wonder I am so fat! At the time I would not have even thought of where the steaks came from. They were delicious and, as I said, very low priced. And the US dollar was worth more.

Franco-thai Gee, I thought they would have Thai food for Mrs.Ringmaster. Not one Thai dish. She ordered fish and got a tiny piece she could not stand the taste of. For me, steak and garlic parsley butter. The butter came already on the meat so every bite I had a mouth full of strong garlic. I could not taste the meat at all. My jaws got a workout on that meat for sure. Dried bread and no butter. I had high hopes. Not anymore.

Similar to my experience!

My experience a few months ago was quite different. Both the texture and the flavor of the steak were well below par, even for Thailand. Neither of us finished our meal.

Are you sure you didn't get the fillly steak?

A Thai opening a steak house. That's for sure the place to be.

No different from an Englishman making curries.

I resemble that remark.

Mind you as a young man I did an excellent Curry.
