Sounds like they were using ketchup as a poor mans BBQ sauce.

People put ketchup on pizza here. That would gag most Americans.

The Bob's Big Boy chain was in Pattaya and Bangkok for a while, but it quickly failed in Thailand.

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................

Please god, in this life and every life after this...

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.

If you guys are done pounding your chests and waving your flags, can we return to talking about food now?

Best value steak in Thailand is The Shack in Koh Samui.

Top quality...same as you will find in the best places of Bangkok, but for around 1000 Baht.

Bobs Big Boy? I think the joke was on you

How big is Bob's Big Boy? Eye-wateringly big? Or just a minor shuffle?

Sorry to go OT, but had a really nice steak at Cafe des Amis last week. One of the best I've had in Thailand. I'd almost given up trying to find one!!

Check-In Garden, Suk, near Nana BTS station, around B500...... Ssssshhhhh.

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.

Will give it a go next time I'm in Patters. Thanks for the tip!

I'm never hungry when I visit....must plan my evening better next time!

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 .

I like Kobe Tai myself

They are good, but I don't have to mortgage my house to buy an American steak. And I have never had a Kobe steak that filled me up, just too small.

Just out of curiosity, what did that cost?

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

Wow, in that case, change ,my comment above from "I have never had a Kobe steak that filled me up" to "I have apparently never had a real Kobe steak". Because I can promise I have never eaten such an expensive steak, even when it was on a vendor's dime.

6000 THB for 200 grams .

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.

So about $1 per gram, or $454 per pound.

Yikes. Too rich for my cheapass blood.

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!

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!
