People put ketchup on pizza here. That would gag most Americans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabC Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 After watching the steak show I hope you watched the Dental show from England. It was so sad watching people with no teeth and mouths that look like Gangrene set in. I was waiting for the maggots to crawl out. I cannot understand how grown adults cant brush their teeth and visit a dentist. Maybe it is a biblical thing " An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" rant over . Ah but at least as Brits we can have dentures fitted, you'll wake up tomorrow still an American................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keemapoot Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Well, my american friends took me to Bobs to impress me on american food, everything was drenched in ketchup, nuff said I'm assuming you mean Bob's Big Boy? It's a low end chain of restaurants. Hardly a place to take somebody to impress them. Bob's Big Boy (we called it Shoney's) impressed me when I was about 10 years old. They were the first ones to do the double layer cheesebugers and they always gave you a free comic book starring the Big Boy. That was quite a successful early restaurant franchise. I knew their Bob's, Azar's and JB's Big Boy franchises. Similar to Denny's, a typical coffee shop fast/casual restaurant. I would never think of them for steaks, but you're right the double layer burgers were good, and that mascot, everybody loved - really a piece of Americana.

It's a low end chain of restaurants. Hardly a place to take somebody to impress them. Ketchup is always served on the side (in a bowl or the whole bottle). A server putting ketchup on your food, without asking, is worse than putting ice in your beer without permission! Not an issue. That isn't done. As a kid was in a high end restaurant with family and friends. One family friend, a lady from Louisiana had this really nice filet mignon cut, and asked the waiter for some ketchup. The chef actually came out of the kitchen and disallowed her from pouring ketchup on her filet. Pretty good dustup ensued, quite remarkable from a 7 year old's view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisnoif Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Just had Kobe Beef tenderloin at the JW Marriott's Teppanyaki restaurant and it was just superb .

I am sorry Yanks, but Japanese beef ( Kobe,Matsuzaka,Hitachi) is the best in the world . Perhaps, but it is also the most expensive in the world and IMO, not worth the price. The cheaper ones are not the real thing. They are imitation Kobe beef from Australia and the U.S. A good steak in USA probably costs less than 20 dollars. Kobe beef - 10oz cuts range from $900 to $1500 http://www.foodsherpa.com/featured-kobe-beef-price Edited May 5, 2013 by Ulysses G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I can promise I have never eaten such an expensive steak, even when it was on a vendor's dime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchybum Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Kobe steak is not really steak. It is like eating fairy floss, it melts in your mouth. Steak is meat, not jello and you should have to chew it to release its flavour and texture. There is a fine line between to tough and just perfect, but Jello steak is just not for real men. A cowboy would spit Jello steak out and then go rip the rear end off of a bullock out the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokie36 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I could afford to pay 6000 Baht for a steak.....but I simply refuse to. Ridiculous price for one meal. I can see value in a top class buffet at 3000 Baht.....this is just waaaay over the top! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muchogra Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Be what you say about the steaks in America, I like to get my teeth on a sirloin for $1.99 to $2.49 when we shopped at Dominick, Jewel, or elsewhere then. That's when we lived there. Now? I trade to live elsewhere to forfeit what I liked then! I'm getting used to it and don't pay 49 cents on the dollar like before!
