As a consequence of our lacking antlers to sort matters out, mans competitive nature can lead to all manner of attempted besting between friends. One popular method is over a flame. Not by wrestling on a bonfire, but by outdoing your pal in the cooking of mans greatest culinary obsession: THE STEAK.

    Always a great experience at Fat Butcher. This time, however, my Côte de Boeuf was a bit disappointing - not the best cut and quite sinewy. Service and atmosphere were excellent as always.
