This is a pretty big deal for us. Probably not such a big deal for you. But stay tuned. We’ve got some surprises in store for SteakFEED.com.

You might observe things get bumpy or flaky. Or, considering the fact that there are so few of you, reading so seldom, this whole thing might pass by completely unnoticed.

If a blog crashes but nobody reads it, does it make a sound?

Our gmail <steakfeed AT gmail.com > has gone astray. In all honesty, we forgot we had it and never went to read it.

Now we find that a few of you have written. We apologize, and promise it will never happen again.

Now then… what was it you were saying? You want to Write For Us?

Did you know it’s our birthday?? Isn’t that cool?? We’ve been Typing About Steak for a whole year now!!!

Happy birthday to us.

So? What the heck did you get us for our birthday? Uh… Excuse us? You want us to pick it out ourselves, and you’ll pay for it? You’re going to reimburse us for our birthday present? That’s so cheap. We can’t believe it! How could you think that would be a good gift? Do you not know the meaning of the word “gift“?

Here’s an idea, how about, along with remuneration for the gift we select for ourselves, you just go ahead and pay us a decent wage for the time we have to spend choosing and purchasing our OWN DAMN BIRTHDAY PRESENT!!??!?!?

You totally forgot didn’t you? I knew it. I knew you’d never remember our first birthday, don’t even try to cover for your sorry self by trying to make us think you’re generous when you’re really just brandishing cash and making us do all the shopping and thinking. I bet you don’t even have dinner plans for us, do you?

Gadgets We’re Buying Ourselves For Our Lonely 1st Birthday

• Personalized Branding Iron, or Monogrammed Steak Brand, Triple Initials [because, sorry, we’re neglected and lonely … we get crazy fantasies sometimes … you know, lone ranger, … vast prairies … red-hot iron searing flesh]
• Disposable BBQ Grill [because we all have to face the temporary nature of everything, and how ultimately alone we are, without solidity or permanence]
• Rocket Pepper Grinder [because it’s time to fly]

Steakfeed would really like to be a big shared resource of steak dining and preparation writings by a happy community of steak enthusiasts. We need your help to do that!

If you’re crazy about steak, whether it be the steakhouse dining experience, finding really great steak meals on the cheap or on the street, or your absolute favorite grilling or marinade secret recipe … You should share it with the world! Bring your words and your steak knives, but please leave the A-1 sauce in the fridge for the next time you make meatloaf.

Write for steakfeed, and share the meat!

I think I’ve heard of this before. Before I went to Vegas with My Fiancee last year, I was looking into where best to have steaks there, and ran across some who were disappointed in Ellis Island Casino and Brewery.

But, it would seem that from me with lots n love: foodie review, ellis island steak special counter-indicates those impressions somewhat. Here:

since eating there i’ve actually dreamed about it several times.

… to summarize, we asked for the off-the-menu steak special and got (with excellent service) a delicious 10 ounce steak, the size and shape almost like a softball, a really good baked potato (i even ate the skin it was that good) with butter and sour cream, a lot of green beans which were so-so, and a green salad.

… nothing can beat a steak dinner for less than $5.

The emphasis there is mine, which is my way of trying really hard to remember “order the off-the-menu steak special at Ellis Island in Vegas!!”

As usual, blogs on Myspace generally need no comment. Here are several:

Gentlemen, for those who have had no luck in charming a dame, fear not my fellow citizens, for the minds of D and I have constructed the ultimate pick-up line to be used throughout the coming ages of men. For those who want a solution from the growing epidemic of their lacking charm, grace and posture, look no further and read below!

This masterplan was devised through careful research and hours of studying. This fool-proof plan has been called, “Steak Man.”


as the sinews and fibers of cattle muscle tear against your teeth.
grind.
grind.
as the sickening blood drips into your jouls.
because all you cannibals like it rare; half living.

I MUST APOLOGISE FOR BEING A TOTAL NOB AND LOSING STEAK WRIST INTO THE ETHER. YOU CAN STILL SEE THE OLD STEAK WRIST SITE AT www.myspace.com/steakwrist BUT I CANNOT EDIT IT OR WHATEVER.


So……went to Bob’s Steak and Chop House last night. DAMN i love that place! I can’t ever think of a better steak i’ve ever had. […] We ordered the cheapest bottle of wine on the menu, Sebastiani Zinfandel. Even the cheap stuff is probably like the high end stuff at Steak and Ale. Great wine…..a lil sweet but it’s red, so keep that in mind. Not at all what you’re thinking about Zinfandel Good Stuff.

In a post, The Stalwart: Peter Luger — Latest ethanol victim we learn about how the ethanol industry, which is being touted in the political realm as a solution to the energy problems the US faces, is having an effect on other stuff as well.

Of particular concern is the wholesale price of beef.

[due to] demand for ethanol and a harsh winter … the price of corn … rise about 60 percent over the past few months […] After slaughtering, transporting and butchering, a restaurant’s cost for a well-trimmed steak may be 30 percent higher” (unsourced by The Stalwart)

I think I want to make this a feature. There’s so dang much great photography in flickr, lots of it food-tography, much of that Steak-tography.
I’ll try to set me up some reminders to go there and rustle up the best pictures of steak I find. Every week or so. Probably Friday.
Dangit! Now it’s not even lunchtime and my steak hankerin is off the hook!

Hats of Meat

Because it’s a classic.

I’m trying to get ahold of this recipe from Cooks Ill, or have somebody make it for us, to try the results. This photography from Flickr user Amy Watts is pretty compelling, as is the method she describes: 25 min in 257degree oven, followed by pan sear.

Hmm. Backwards!

Victoria Reynolds paints pictures of meat from Dethroner.

Dethroner is one of my favorite sites, because they have balls.

And sensitivity. They have that too.

I’m not sure about Victoria Reynolds’s paintings of meat. They’re kind of gross. Maybe that’s the point? Anyway, not so much really about steak, as about meat in general. Just don’t think about these pictures too much, or you might stop wanting to eat flesh.

I like this post, if only for the recipe for a Ginger-Soy Marinade for steak. Haven’t tried it, but you can be sure I will.

I’m sort of confused about the blog this is from though. It’s the Top Chef’s Recipe blog, but it doesn’t really seem to be related to the Bravo TV show of the same name.

I’d do the same thing, I think, if OJ came into my steak restaurant. I’d turn the man away.

Does anybody else still want to call him “The Juice” or is that just me?

I spent some time the last few days making some real spiffy changes to our layout, incorporating the flare new logo and some more color.

There’s still some stupid or silly quirks, like that the logo somehow resists scrolling for a while down the page, and the right-most sidebar thingy only displays beneath the ads, unless you’re on a really wide screen.

But otherwise, it looks pretty great, huh?
