Steak Houses

cant recommend a decent steak house but i can recommend you a fucking kickass cut of beef that until about a month ago was totally off my radar.

Its called 'Onglet' or 'Hanger' .. its cheap as chips but has to be one of the nicest cuts i've ever eaten. if its on the menu. get it !

Very popular in France, but you don't see it offered much here. Shame.

I had hump-cut for the first time in a churrascaria in Brazil recently. Actually, fuck it, if you want the best steak in the world you need to get a plane to Sao Paulo and eat at Fogo de Chao. The waiters circulate with skewers of the most perfectly cooked steaks of every conceivable cut. You have a little disc by your plate - red on one side, green on the other. Leave the green side up and they keep coming to your table and carving off slices of beef. Turn to red if you need a rest. I left mine on green, and had to be carried out. I wasn't hungry until about 5pm the following day.
