Tywais Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 A friend posted a photo of him at the CMU Steak House. After looking for info I found a couple of sites showing it and at least in the menu photos looks pretty good. Anyone been there? Also, can't quite figure out where it is located but seems to be just off Huay Kaew road a few hundred meters East from the canal road. https://www.facebook.com/CMU.Steak.House http://eat.edtguide.com/399828_cmu-steak-house-and-coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arunsakda Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Anyone been to The BBQ Chiang Mai ? Sounds tasty.. https://www.facebook.com/thebbqchiangmai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwilly Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I will suggest it is located on Suthep Rd, Not Huay Kaew, about 100 mtrs west of the intersection with the canal road. (That is going up the hill towards Doi Suthep.) Looks interesting. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quidnunc Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 It shares a parking lot with the main royal project store. The steakhouse fronts on Doi Suthep road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglechef Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 It is run by Uni kids with no experience or training at least in the kitchen at best. No manager on site. They had no idea how to cook never the less something they were not familiar with. Not cheap either. Any one of the many students might prepare your meal while the rest (8 on my visit) hide behind the counter and play with their phones. Extremely sweet kids anyways. They said the purpose was to promote the meat raised on a CMU farm. Hope they weren't marketing majors either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonwilly Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 The BBQchiangmai, anyone know the exact location ? I live on Suthep Rd but have not noticed it yet. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyecatcher Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 If you stand at the lights end of nimmen rd and look left across the road... If I am wrong, you should see it with binoculars a tad further down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeichen Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 "That is going up the hill towards Doi Suthep.)" I am confused. The road that heads towards Doi Suthep is Huew Kaew not Suthep road. Which road is it on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am wrong, you should see it with binoculars a tad further down. Which end of nimmen rd and which side of the street are you on the right or the left side. If you are on Suthep that could be towards the hospital or towards canal road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptoyoumyfriend Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 this is like a real think tank here obviously you cross the canal road going on suthep road, towards the said mountain,you can see it,no need to google. then after the crossing on the right is the royal project fronted by the steak house?

jonwilly Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 As I was given to understand. Suthep Rd was originally the way to the temple on Doi Suthep and I have known folks who have walked the way up. Then in the 1920's a local monk decided that a proper road was required and so the 'Tale' of an elephant walking up to Doi Suthep started. A road was then built that followed the Elephants path, which went up the hill and that road was started on Huew Kaew. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwilly Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 The bbq Chiangmai, its exact location is as follows. Going up Suthep Rd, moat behind you. Go past Wat Suan Dork on the left, continue past the row of shop houses, a Bangkok Bank branch and you will go under a large Tree that overhangs the road. Immediately after the tree is the BBQ next to and just before the Kasinkorn (Thai Farmers for my generation) Bank. john Must visit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of any good reason not to knock people have the audacity to charge for a service they are not able to properly deliver. The business experience, if you mean the ability to do the bookkeeping, inventory, purchasing etc., is their issue (such as if they want to sell a meal for 200 bht that cost them 300 bht and loose money). But if I am charged for goods and services that are not provided then it's another story. When it comes to the culinary arts one doesn't necessarily have to have any training, there are natural cooks, but if they expect me to pay for their product they sure better be able to give me what they offered. One final note is that many take for granted what it takes to run a restaurant while having practical experience in another type of business, say selling cheap sunglasses, is not as necessary. Eyecatcher, what is your business? (sorry if this has been covered previously). I am always game to support any local enterprise esp. if they they are members of TV.

junglechef Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 in Wine Connection not so bad steaks imho and not's expensive either They have kitchen and offer food for sale? I've seem some locations that one can bring food from a nearby restaurant and enjoy at glass of wine bought from them while sitting at their tables. Which location are you referring to?

WinnieTheKhwai Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 If they do offer steaks they probably mix in chicken meat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
