It just clobbered me as I was randomly scrolling. Great line.

Smallman1 Bit of a joke list IMO. I love the Hawksmoor restaurants. Great steak, and the best Sunday roast I’ve ever had, but best steakhouse in the world? Not convinced it’s the best steakhouse in London…

Bavette’s at number 7? Decent enough steakhouse - sure, but eye-gougingly expensive for what it is. The balls to charge $30 for some roasted bone marrow…

Flat Iron at 42? I mean - what they do, they do really well, and if democratising good steak is the measure, then they’re excellent at it. For me though, the 42nd best steakhouse in the world should be serving more than one cut of steak. They’re doing what any number of decent French bistros have been doing for years - serving an excellent steak-frites at a good price.

Amazed to see there aren’t more entries from Japan. Genuine A5 Wagyu cooked over charcoal is probably my favourite taste experience ever, and there are a bunch of places in Japan doing that brilliantly…

      Jules72 Eaten at a few different Gaucho outlets. Had a couple of outstanding meals, and 1 dire experience. Always decent cow though…

        vinnyt77 Portions, especially sides were on the small side at Hawksmoor Manchester. Nice food but felt ripped off. Cocktails good

          I am so tempted to roll out the ole “steaks are too high” joke.

          Think of it at Dutchy’s chickpea gag but for carnivores.

          Dipping pitta soldiers into a ‘guggy’ egg with a 5 week old edition of The Guardian on his lap which recommends the place.

          Absolute fucking gennet.

            Wondering why the wait staff are giving him a massive swerve after he asked them for Brontos Pizza Feet sans cheese.

              What id like to know is what sort of oxygen stealers entertain Ed during these soirres?

              I can only really picture him with four heavily pregnant women, if im honest.

                Smallman senior and a load of his cronies.

                He was the lad at school who hung around with his dad, because no-one wanted to be his mate.

                        You’ve been glassed and chased off a cliff in two seperate incidents.

                          Lol. Well this has turned just plain nasty

                          It’s like Dermo never left sometimes!
