Maybe they should put that on the menu.....say, $25 and you can sit in the kitchen and just eat the un-servable bits all night!<br /><br />Oh yeah, I'm well aware of the Keg Omega, but my pants are a bit tight as it is now, and I figured I better lose a little around the middle before I try that again. I definitely want to try it again. A couple of my pals from my iaido class took on the challenge and about 3 of them finished it!<br /><br />PeteMister Donuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01397457231047734657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451601767982250410.post-87778667989519996882011-01-12T17:21:18.969-08:002011-01-12T17:21:18.969-08:00Peter,

The fondest memories for me back then were eating slabs of un-servable prime rib in the back with the cooks. Good times lol. <br /><br />I saw from the comments you know about the Keg Omega. What stopped you from ordering it this time around? I have to give props to whoever can finish those things as even for a big eater like me, that thing is massive. <br /><br /><br />Elaine, <br /><br />You have to try the steaks next time! A nice New York or Baseball Sirloin are the best choices in my opinion.jerhttp://vancouver-sushi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451601767982250410.post-26561671836251856432010-12-21T01:37:55.171-08:002010-12-21T01:37:55.171-08:00Hi KimHo,

I think it's MY conception of a steak, that's why I said "personally" ;)<br /><br />Many of my friends (who reside in North America) don't eat steak the way I do (blue rare to rare), and personally, I think they're all a bunch of savages, lol!<br /><br />PeterMister Donuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01397457231047734657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451601767982250410.post-15494297755248110792010-12-20T06:19:48.913-08:002010-12-20T06:19:48.913-08:00I think it's criminal to cook a steak beyond r...<em>I think it's criminal to cook a steak beyond rare</em><br /><br />That's the European/North American conception of a steak. Some parts of the world, steaks are cooked well done by default and that's how it is eaten and people like it that way. Take for example, Argentina. Whenever you have beef, it is cook through.KimHohttp://imonlyhereforthefood.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451601767982250410.post-23360011650368558502010-12-17T12:22:52.419-08:002010-12-17T12:22:52.419-08:00Lol, personally, I think it's criminal to cook...Lol, personally, I think it's criminal to cook a steak beyond rare, but that's just me. <br /><br />A pal of mine made the mistake of ordering a steak at Boston Pizza once (well, the first mistake was going to Boston Pizza, the second mistake was ordering a steak there) and when he asked for rare, he got well done....nice right? Their excuse was it was sitting under the heat lamp too long after it was cooked.

Then once I started ordering medium rare, I finally realize how good steaks are lmao!eeScorpiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00083677794352449446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451601767982250410.post-90727133073731993352010-12-12T23:09:43.350-08:002010-12-12T23:09:43.350-08:00Hi Elaine,

When I was a kid, I always hated steak because whenever my parents ordered it, it was always well done....a disgusting way to eat beef. I only discovered how great it was to eat a good steak (or in this case, prime rib) nice and rare. <br /><br />If you and some other bloggers what to get together(I've never met any other bloggers, but I think I may have seen some at the grand opening of Benkei Ramen on 5th) sometime and go to a Keg, let me know and I will be more than happy to show you the satisfaction in eating a fine slab of beef. I'll order a nice large, Keg Size Omega Prime Rib and share a sliver of it with you, and if you don't like it, you can always go back to your baby back ribs, LOL!<br /><br /><br />PeterMister Donuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01397457231047734657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451601767982250410.post-45722215513615111052010-12-10T15:33:16.302-08:002010-12-10T15:33:16.302-08:00I don't know why...but I never ate steaks at T...I don't know why...but I never ate steaks at The Keg before...lmao...only had ribs there...<br /><br />Must go some time x___xeeScorpiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00083677794352449446noreply@blogger.com
