And great photography too!
If you have time, take a look at Dan Hershman’s other photos too. They’re nice.
Also, if you have even more time, hike up to Anchorage and let me know how the steaks are at Club Paris.

Moments of Clarity: Do you Wagyu?
Moments of Clarity: Do you Wagyu?
“Wagyu” style beef is the U.S.and Australia’s version of babying a bovine to ensure it’s bud busting bodaciousness. Boy that was bad.
More info at the Wagyu/Kobe FAQ.

Steak Mosaic 9/28/07
Yeek! Some kind of steak caption thing
|
I ran into this flickr set of steak icons with really strange captions on them, while I was putting together this week’s Steak Mosaic. Read them all. Hopefully nobody will notice that I’ve linked them, some of these seem dangerous. This is also why I’m not even going to mention how, um, bizarre the “drawing” of “steak” is in this picture. Let’s just leave that alone. |

Yahoo News : save the world, eat no steak
Less meat, less heat — fewer steaks may save planet - Yahoo News
You may have wondered why we haven’t been writing anything lately.
It’s because what we’re writing about, the lifestyle that we’re promoting, the indulgences we crow about, are just plain DESTROYING THE DAMN PLANET.
So, we’re sorry. Maybe we should hang up our butcher’s hat, and call this whole thing an irresponsible, youthful lark.
Maybe we’ll start up a new page, call it something like Tofu-Bamboo-and-Krill-feed.com.
Or what about those clone steaks??
We are so EFF-ing depressed right now. Except when we think about the absolutely fabulous marion-berry barbecued rib-eye we just ate, and are having leftovers of for lunch today. OH! How sublime total world destruction can taste!

Brahman (cattle)
So, in Costa Rica, the primary (if not only) cattle raised is the Brahman, or crossbreeds of Brahman with European beef cattle. This is probably because:
Brahmans have a greater ability to withstand heat than European cattle. They have more sweat glands, and also an oily skin, thought to help repel pest insects. They are also more resistant to parasites and disease.
I’m trying to find research about the qualities of Brahman beef for steak, etc. because I felt differently about it than I do about the steak we prefer here in the States. It also tended to be prepared differently, especially in the Costa Rican Typical cuisine we had; also, when there were steaks prepared in the USian Steakhouse manner, I felt they did not taste as I expected them to.

hiatus
sorry for the hiatus in writing stuff. I’ve been getting married (yay! grilled flank for the reception — 111% good) and now I’m off to Central America to see how they do steaks down there.
