That’s my problem with many Asian cuisines as well as Michelin-starred restaurants. To much stuff - both ingredients and flavour wise - going on for my personal taste.
My favorite dish is a tagliata which is in basically just slightly seasoned thinly cut steak with a rocket salad on the side
AGREE! That’s one reason I like Japanese cuisine so much. Keep things simple and let the ingredients shine
@magick Man, going to San Diego for BBQ is like going to Texas for Italian. You both missed out on Carne Asada fries and fish tacos!
@anna_5588 I call it “hiding”. Good food doesn’t need to hide!
@The_Myth I gotta dig your “watchmaker approach” there. I want to share too much, haha.
I’d get involved in that HIT thread for some carne asada fries right now.
I confess I just committed to a man date at a Texas De Brazil.
I’ve never been to one before, or any sort of Brazilian Steakhouse.
I confess I am unreasonably excited. What a great time to be a carnivore in a mass gaining phase!
I don’t know if Brazilian Steakhouses in the US serve meat as it’s eaten in traditional Brazil cuisine, but in my humble carnivore opinion the best meat I’ve ever eaten was in Brazil.
I’d go with Maminha medium for a leaner experience, and a crispy Alcantra for a more marbled one.
Prepare yourself for the meat baby.
@loppar Didn’t know you were on the carnivore train as well! How cool. Texas De Brazil puts a Texas spin on the experience, but it’s still Brazilian at heart. I can’t wait.
@doogie I am curious what absolute bonkers anabolic training I’ll engage in to maximize this opportunity, haha.
Stick to the beef. It’s way better than the rest of the meat.
Looking at the menu, the lamb is about the only other thing that’s catching my eye.
I put butter on steaks at the start of the rest period. The butter kinda just makes it like the steak had an extra amount of juices. Then as I cut pieces off, I rub them in the mixture of butter and steak juice. Amazing.
If I get a flare up I don’t catch and the steaks get past medium rare, this method seems to correct any dryness associated with past medium rare steaks too.
I pulled my stomach eating there once.
Hah! And dude, you have no idea how much I lit up seeing your username replying to a post of mine! You’re such an MVP here.
I felt huge in the gym yesterday for the first time in a long time.
And my daughter called me, “her big daddy”.
Life is good.
That’s the best.
My daughter frequently calls me “Dadsquatch” since I am huge and into watching cryptid documentaries with her.
Apparently, saying “my dad is the exact same size and weight of Dwayne The Rock Johnson*” scares 13 year old boys away.
*For the record I’m 15 pounds lighter.
Yes, but they don’t know that…
I’ve been to one. Had at least 3lbs of meat. Worth every bite
This, for some reason, is the part of your post that sticks out to me. I don’t know why, but the words “man date” coupled with the idea of you I have in my head doesn’t sound right to me. Not saying you don’t have friends or anything, I just don’t think of you as a man date guy, haha.
I have to confess that I’ve never been to a Brazilian steakhouse.
Sounds awesome though!
