8b: Wagyu Beef Sous Vide

Keywords: beef kumquat brocollini
19 lickslick itunlick $100
Super rich, this almost turned to liquid in my mouth. One of the most decadent pieces of beef I've ever had, I mean look at that marbling! The fat remained intact thanks in part to the beef's sous vide preparation. Do to its low-temperature, vacuum sealed methods, sous vide must be performed under carefully controlled conditions, as to avoid botulism poisoning. The beef was also served with hen of the wood tempura, brocollini, and kumquat.

I've never seen meat like this. When I win the lottery I'm definitely going to try this place out.

Lol you don't have to win the lottery, you just have to have the intestinal fortitude to justify the expense. ;)

How often does their menu change?
Your response:
By kevin 1 year ago
Pretty much daily, save for a few signature items like Oysters & Pearls.

poisoning!?
Your response:
By kevin 1 year ago
Yes, since sous vide uses vacuum cooking, you must be careful to watch out for botulinum bacteria that can grow in the absence of oxygen.

How much did you pay for your entire meal here? Pong says other people who went there spent $1000 per person. Is that true?
Your response:
By kevin 1 year ago
It was a bit over $2000 for four people. Though indeed, it is rather trivial to spend over $1000pp, as wines routinely get into the four-figures!

It was a very close call. This picture almost won the lick contest today.

Lol. I was actually trying to time the 13th lick (my own) at the last moment but miscalculated the timing. I've now unlicked, since as a policy, I don't lick my own posts. ;)
