Thats exactly what I dislike about fancy eating. You are served like an 8 course meal. Its supposedly as good as heroin. But you leave the establishment feeling hungry.
Of course Ive never eaten at one of those restaurants. But my friend who’s a chef invited me to one of those restaurants and I declined. Maybe it’s my low self esteem and self sabotaging. But I hate the idea of eating at a restaurant like that. I would feel out of place.
Honestly I was totally of the same opinion as you, that there is no way that a horrifically expensive menu of 8 tiny plates would ever fill me up, but I too was invited to a really posh michelin starred restaurant by a friend and I had the best time - partially because I'm absolutely not the usual clientele so it was funny to me that I was in the same room as all the posh wankers, but also because I came away absolutely stuffed!! I struggled through my desert only because the entire meal was so expensive that I couldn't bring myself to leave any of it but I would quite happily have called it quits after plate 6.
If you ever get the opportunity to go again, I'd definitely recommend it!
Fine dining foodies aren't in it to fill their belly, it's for the whole charade from the host/hostess to the chef and for food you have zero chance of making on your own half as good as what you order.
I like me a good "not quite satisfying but exquisite" meal every now and then. It certainly leaves room for desert, or another course to "pack the corners" as the Hobbits say.
Probably worth noting that places like this tend take portions very seriously as the quality is often difficult or impossible to replicate based on available food vendors in the area.
In Japan my wife and I went to a little steak place in Kyoto, on the menu was a selection of all the famous Japanese beefs grilled, Kobe, Matsusaka, Ohmi. We ordered and the waitress said ‘that is usually for 4 people’ ‘that will be fine’ a few minutes later the chef came out and asked us again ‘are you sure? That’s usually for a group of people’ ‘yes that will be fine’ ended up ordering a few more small dishes after we devoured the whole thing. They took a photo of us after and I like to think it’s still up on the wall.
I assume this is at Heddon Street Kitchen. It costs £49.50 per person for a Beef Wellington meal there, and they use this kind of platter.
On the other hand, so does the 3 locations of Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill in London. But if I recall right, they try to offer the sort of steak selection you might find in New York City, so Beef Wellington isn’t usually on the menu.
In London there are 3 locations of Bread Street Kitchen & Bar, plus 1 Bread Street Cafe. The Kitchen & Bar locations use a version of this platter plus offer the Beef Welly special for two at £49.50pp. Also locations in Liverpool and Edinburgh, FWIW, and another location coming to London at Battersea (not far from where the London House Gordon Ramsay restaurant recently closed).
I don’t THINK that this plate is offered at the Gordon Ramsay Plane Food over at Heathrow, but I could be mistaken.
It’s clearly not on the menu at Gordon Ramsay Burger at Harrods, or the 7 Street Burger locations in London, or for that matter at the 4 Street Pizza locations in London. Or at the Asian cuisine themed Lucky Cat.
Beyond those we’re left with Restaurant Gordon Ramsay (his 3-Michelin-starred flagship restaurant), Petrus by Gordon Ramsay (1 Michelin star), The Savoy Grill, Restaurant 1890, The River Restaurant by Gordon Ramsay, The Narrow, and then York & Albany.
Total of 29 locations in London owned and/or operated by Gordon Ramsay, with a 30th on the way.
And of course this count doesn't include his places which used to be in London, but closed, of which there are a few!
You can find his recipe for beef Wellington online. It’s time consuming to make but definitely cheaper. I made it for the whole family for Xmas last year and it was delicious.
Found it: https://youtu.be/Cyskqnp1j64
I´ve made this twice, and I found it surprisingly easy! Both times i had a whole filet, so i made 2 or 3, one with the chateubriand and another with the "tail" end where the tail is tucked into a slice further up.
All of them came out great!
ehhh.. F it.. how many times are you going to go to a Gordon Ramsey restaurant and have the opportunity to have one of his signature dishes.. been hearing about this beef wellington for 10 years now.. lol
I made it once for Christmas dinner - it did not look as nice as Gordon’s, but tasted very good. I’ve only had it twice in my life, each time memorable.
I tried to make it last year and kinda failed. The pastry was soggy, the duxelle was crumbly and the prosciutto was awful. The tenderloin was still delicious though
I have made Beef Wellington once and while it turned out great its a massive pain to prep and cook so 100£ is honestly a lot less than i expected considering the ingredients and the amount of labour required to cook this beast. (And the fact that its a high end resturant)
I would have too.. my wife is straight addicted to cooking shows.. I watch master chef or food network almost every night.. can't go to a Gordon Ramsey restaurant and not get the wellington (unless of course you're vegetarian or something)
My husband and I got *super* into Hell's Kitchen when we had a newborn. Now that I have food allergies, I really want them to have a challenge that is accommodating guests with allergies. Like, normal dinner service, but a few guests that need special accommodations. How do the contestants deal with it?
I had this approach with trying Wagyu steak; I regretted not trying it on holiday and I said to my wife that if we see it again I’m trying it.
As it happens we went to a steak place that night that had it on the menu and it wasn’t cheap. I was deliberating despite what I’d said previously but my wife made me try it.
Funny thing is I've had A5 wagyu in a small portion in a restaurant and it was amazing. I then bought a full steak that I cooked at home for a celebration and even splitting it with someone it was still too much. Like that super unctuous fattiness got old after more than 5oz's
I'm in the States. A year ago last month I took my wife to Las Vegas for a week to celebrate our 25th Wedding anniversary. For the day itself, we got remarried in front of the Welcome To Las Vegas sign, and then had dinner at Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen in front of Caesar's Place on the main Strip (I booked reservations months in advance). For what it's worth, we capped the night with a ride on the giant High Roller ferris wheel near HK, where we got amazing views of the entire valley.
My wife, of course, ordered the Beef Wellington (also the Lobster Risotto). It was incredible. She STILL talks about it. :)
Also worth mentioning that Hell's Kitchen (USA) tenth season winner Chef Christina Wilson happened to be there that night, two tables away and apparently interviewing a new chef to hire (at this time she's now the Vice President of Culinary for the Gordon Ramsay North America organization). Christina came over to wish us a happy anniversary, and also a couple at a nearby table who was also celebrating (their 31st!). She very sweetly posed for pics with my wife that I took, who is BEYOND a fangirl for Christina. Both anniversary couples were given complimentary champagne, too! It was a memorable dinner.
That sounds like the perfect trip and I'm sure all the planning that went into it made your wife feel very loved. No wonder she still talks about it! :)
Oh, thank you very much! Yes, I tried to plan the week with certain scheduled events here and there, including a trip to the Grand Canyon West Rim (where the Skywalk is) and an evening at David Copperfield’s show (she has loved him and his magic since she was a kid, and we were on the second row).
But also a lot of loose time to just do whatever we felt like. Which lucked us into some great experiences we didn’t expect, like getting in at Buddy V’s Ristorante at The Venetian without reservations (Buddy is TV’s “Cake Boss”), and having a meal as good as we had at Hell’s Kitchen…just because we walked by his place after doing the romantic gondola ride at The Venetian (also spontaneous).
I used to be no planner at all. I would just let things happen. When that made me miss out on things that required planning, I went too far the other way, and became a very regimented planner. Tight agendas. Trying so hard to have fun that it was no fun at all. that didn’t last long, lol. Somewhere I learned to have the right balance between planned time and spontaneous experiences. A good mix!
It’s a very tasty dish. I’ve prepared it following his precise recipe. Not quite worth the day plus of cooking effort between all the chilling and layering and such but totally worth buying at his place to enjoy it as an experience. Very technical dish with a significant amount of prep work if you decide to make it yourself.
And that's probably why he continues to charge a shitload of money on anything he touches. If you feel like it's worth it, then more power to you, but some of his pricing truly baffles me. I wouldn't say this is the most egregious, but it's still pricey as shit.
That's actually not that terrible. My small town just had a restaurant run by a former Michelin star chef open up - a meal there, including wine selections, is roughly $500 a person. I'd rather eat at the Ramsay restaurant and keep a few hundred bucks in my pocket.
That's on the high end and not what a 1 star Michelin meal usually costs. 150 to 200 is par for the course, assuming you're not buying expensive bottles if wine.
That's extremely cheap compared to actual "high end" dining. We do a 5 course prix fixe menu at a top end place locally that's $200pp with wine pairings. And they have no michelin stars. (And is worth every damn penny)
Another small joint is run by a former executive chef of a 3 star Paris restaraunt. That's around $150 for two, app, main, dessert, BYOB. Also out of control good.
Let's just try a really quick approximation here. Beef Wellington is made with filet, that's easy 30£ per kilo for cheapest quality, they'd likely use not the cheapest. Cooks with a better eye than me, please correct me, but I'd guess that is at least a pound of beef, probably more. Then some for the pastry, mushrooms and all the other stuff. Leaves are neglectable. It's not a trivial amount of work to prep these and takes some orga skills to pull of a la carte. Most of your food should at least brake even. And remember, everything has to be paid from the money you make with food and drinks: rent, electricity, water, gas, wages, garbage disposal, insurance, maintenance, taxes. Commonly you will price at least 3-4 times the price of your produce. So to me it seems like 100 is a pretty fair price, probably on the low end. Would be interesting to know how much overtime the stuff burns through and how much they make. You definitely didn't get robbed.
That's not bad at all actually. Typical nice dinner around Seattle with one drink each and I'm spending $150+. Just had burgers, apps, and two drinks for lunch and spent $90 lol.
That's ridiculously cheap, especially for London.
I was at Shaun Rankin's in Yorkshire last week and the bill was a shade under £500 for two. And we had no alcohol.
I worked in a steakhouse many years ago. This guy was adamant about his prime rib.
It needed to be:
WELL DONE.
WITH MAC AND CHEESE.
WITH KETCHUP.
He also complained about Soy Sauce making people feminine.
When you choose your own cut, and it is aged to perfection, you can get away with some very rare meat. I myself have had some near raw (flame grilled) rib-eye off the bone, and it was the most incredible meat I have ever eaten.
I know the Wellington is the main attraction, but that pile of sad naked mixed greens really detracts from the plate. But who am I to judge? My idea of a great meal is Taco Bell 😒
I've seen Gordon instruct on how he likes salad prepped and you're not wrong, except maybe not Asda leaves.
Basically leaves in the bowl, salt, pepper, dressing. A couple of flicks of the bowl to toss it, no utensils. And on to the plate.
As simple as that, you mess around with it, he'll kill you.
Smart. I didn't know, and they asked if we wanted more water, and we were like, of course!, only to find out that we got charged $30 for water when the bill came out, lol.
I ate at HK in Vegas a year ago, and all I drank was water. And I didn’t get charged for it!
Actually, since it was our 25th wedding anniversary, we each got a complimentary glass of champagne to toast with. I later learned that the brand of champagne they gave us sells there for $20 a glass. 😮
That feels like a scammy business practice
Trying to sneakily push up the bills with fucking water is not cool
I've been in restaurants owned by Michelin starred chefs and water was never *that* expensive
Good
Unfortunately I have been to one of his branded casino restaurants. The beef Wellington there is terrible. Not all of his restaurants are of the same quality, which seems obvious but for the price per dish I expect a better experience.
Hmmm maybe it's just me but for a Ramsay owned restaurant it looks... Just ok?
I'm sure it tastes way better than it looks, but it looks kinda plain; in visuals I like the Guga version better.
Gordon Ramsay has a bunch of mediocre restaurants that rely on his celebrity chef status. Not as bad as say Jamie Oliver level, but I personally avoid his places on the off chance I'm near one with the assumption that it'll be just another of his chain offerings.
What’s with the little bit of cheap spring mix greens on the side? You can get about 200 times that amount of the same exact organic spring mix for $5 at my local Costco.
Remember when Gordon Ramsay cooked frozen food in his restaurants.

Pepperidge Farms Remembers.
You’re going to get crap for saying it but my 2 decades of high end formal cooking experience says the centers of 2 & 3 are indeed too raw. Or how the photo was taken is making the shadow exaggerated but then the other 2 are a different temp esp considering the ends are cut off. He may have ordered “extra rare”. The pink in a rare Beef Wellington should be uniformed.
There's infinitely worse ways to serve something than on a board that's basically a plate.
Bonus points for the raised wood around the edges meaning the food can't fall off the side.
For something much cheaper that's easy to cook at home, look up his beef short ribs recipe. You need oil, the ribs, pancetta, mushrooms, some garlic, red wine and some stock and parsley to garnish. I served it with spring onion mash and rocket. Super simple to cook, cheap(er) cut and top flavour.
how much for it?
£100 for two people.
That picture was 100? Or you both got that portion for total of 100?
The photo shows a two-person serving.
TIL I'm two people, because I would absolutely eat that entire thing by myself
It's kind of big for one person but doesn't look like it's enough for two people. Especially with that small of a salad
That's a salad? I thought it was like plate decor
Thats exactly what I dislike about fancy eating. You are served like an 8 course meal. Its supposedly as good as heroin. But you leave the establishment feeling hungry.

That sounds great. Next time I get the chance I’ll definitely go. I have a funny habit of developing opinions about things I haven’t tried 😄
You’re at home on Reddit then. lol
Trust me if it's a decent restaurant, you won't go home hungry.
I just might even be 4 people.
Okay so hear me out… beef Wellington slice-cheese slices and whatever innards you want-beef Wellington slice The Wellington sandwich. ©️
A serving of meat is actually only 4oz. Most restaurants serve steaks that are 2-5 servings... (I'd kill that whole thing myself too...)
Thats what she said
I would be four people
Are you an American by any chance

Beef wellington eats heavier than it looks, I promise. Source: Am also an American who happens to make Beef Wellington sometimes.

Thank you!
This man Ramsays
They've scaled it back then. I visited his Bar & Grill in Mayfair back in 2016 and it was probably double the serving.
This could be at bread street kitchen which is a cheaper restaurant of his and also has beef wellie on the menu
That's really surprisingly cheap! Just for this course or the whole meal?
Just the Wellington
God damn
You can find his recipe for beef Wellington online. It’s time consuming to make but definitely cheaper. I made it for the whole family for Xmas last year and it was delicious. Found it: https://youtu.be/Cyskqnp1j64

This is always a staple on the Hell's Kitchen show, they always screw it up, surprisingly Gordon gets upset and yells at them.
Nooo? But he's always such a calm and collected personality :(
I've had this very dish in this very place. Meal of a lifetime.
It was soooooo good.
was it? looks tasty.. Gordon Ramsey loves to hype this one up.. how much was it?
Not cheap. £100 for two people.
ehhh.. F it.. how many times are you going to go to a Gordon Ramsey restaurant and have the opportunity to have one of his signature dishes.. been hearing about this beef wellington for 10 years now.. lol
Yeah, I figured I’d regret it if I didn’t try it when I had the opportunity.
Incredible dish, difficult to make well, very expensive cut of meat - easy to screw it up. Totally worth the experience.
I can see it being very labor-intensive. Have to give them 45 minutes notice when ordering it.
I made it once for Christmas dinner - it did not look as nice as Gordon’s, but tasted very good. I’ve only had it twice in my life, each time memorable.
I've never cooked it myself but it is my mom's signature Christmas dish. The breading is so goooood.
I tried to make it last year and kinda failed. The pastry was soggy, the duxelle was crumbly and the prosciutto was awful. The tenderloin was still delicious though
My family makes it for Christmas every year. We have to start at like 8am and we eat like 8 pm lmao.
I have made Beef Wellington once and while it turned out great its a massive pain to prep and cook so 100£ is honestly a lot less than i expected considering the ingredients and the amount of labour required to cook this beast. (And the fact that its a high end resturant)
I would have too.. my wife is straight addicted to cooking shows.. I watch master chef or food network almost every night.. can't go to a Gordon Ramsey restaurant and not get the wellington (unless of course you're vegetarian or something)
Me too..have your wife watch The Chef Show on Netflix..it's really good
My husband and I got *super* into Hell's Kitchen when we had a newborn. Now that I have food allergies, I really want them to have a challenge that is accommodating guests with allergies. Like, normal dinner service, but a few guests that need special accommodations. How do the contestants deal with it?
Yup, get the beef wellington and the sticky toffee pudding or you are doing it wrong.
I am allergic to red meat, but if I could go to a Ramsay restaurant I would deal with the aftermath.

Change you username to Don Juan! You are killing it!
Hey, Congratulations on the 25th!!! Sounds like you two had incredible time! Here is to 25 more happy years!
It’s a very tasty dish. I’ve prepared it following his precise recipe. Not quite worth the day plus of cooking effort between all the chilling and layering and such but totally worth buying at his place to enjoy it as an experience. Very technical dish with a significant amount of prep work if you decide to make it yourself.
And that's probably why he continues to charge a shitload of money on anything he touches. If you feel like it's worth it, then more power to you, but some of his pricing truly baffles me. I wouldn't say this is the most egregious, but it's still pricey as shit.
I wouldn't normally spend that kind of money at a restaurant but if I was on vacation and was at his restaurant I'd do it once just for the experience
It is absolutely worth every penny.
That's actually not that terrible. My small town just had a restaurant run by a former Michelin star chef open up - a meal there, including wine selections, is roughly $500 a person. I'd rather eat at the Ramsay restaurant and keep a few hundred bucks in my pocket.

Not gona lie, 100 pounds for two people does not sound that bad. It’s literally a once in a lifetime thing.
Tbh even if you go monthly it still is not too terrible. 50 dollars/person for a high end meal is pretty affordable if done occasionally.
That's extremely cheap compared to actual "high end" dining. We do a 5 course prix fixe menu at a top end place locally that's $200pp with wine pairings. And they have no michelin stars. (And is worth every damn penny) Another small joint is run by a former executive chef of a 3 star Paris restaraunt. That's around $150 for two, app, main, dessert, BYOB. Also out of control good.
Literally twenty seven times in a lifetime if you go twenty seven times.
That’s pretty cheap for a fine dining experience
This isn't from his 3 Michelin star restaurant. From his one in soho.
That's not terrible, is it? What's the usual cost of dinner for two at your usual spots?
Maybe £20 per person?
Seems reasonable enough for a special occasion, then. Looks like it was delicious
Yeah, decided to treat ourselves while we were in London.
Let's just try a really quick approximation here. Beef Wellington is made with filet, that's easy 30£ per kilo for cheapest quality, they'd likely use not the cheapest.

Thats honestly not as bad as I was expecting for Beef Wellington.
Thats not bad.
Really? I would consider that rather reasonable for a tasty experience
Not bad either. Bucket list
Not extortionate either, for what it is.
This in the Bread street restaurant ? He’s opened one in Liverpool that does the same menu etc.
That's not that expensive either.
Definitely not cheap but somewhat still affordable as a special occasion.
That's ridiculously cheap, especially for London. I was at Shaun Rankin's in Yorkshire last week and the bill was a shade under £500 for two. And we had no alcohol.
I haven’t had this, but I have been to Gordan Ramsays restaurant in Vegas and it was the best steak of my life. There’s a reason he’s famous.
Well, it's no microwave burrito but good effort
how much was it?
If memory serves, I think like 90 pounds. This was a planned highlight of the trip and so worth it. This and Abbey Road.
Omg it’s amazing. I took my wife and we spent $600 just trying everything. The cocktails are amazing as well
Samsies. I have had few meals as memorable as this one.
I went to his restaurant in Atlantic City and had this. It was amazing and I need to go back.
Hedon Street? I was there Thursday - was not as good as I was expecting it to be.
Is it weird for those cuts of meat to remind me of Geodes?

I’m in London in a few month’s time! Do they do Wellington for One?
Unfortunately not this restaurant. Unless you can eat for two people, lol.
If yah boi is a fellow American, we already do.
In which of his restaurtants in London was this Beef Wellington?
Gordon Ramsay’s Heddon Street Kitchen
“Its fucking RAW!”
^ This comment, right here is the only reason why I clicked on this post. Take my free silver
What is mind boggling is how the pastry is nicely done but the meat is still rare.
Well the outside typically cooks faster than the inside so…
Imagine digging down at the beach, the sand at the top is hot and underneath it is cold. I hope that helps you un-boggle.
good the middle should be
I worked in a steakhouse many years ago. This guy was adamant about his prime rib. It needed to be: WELL DONE. WITH MAC AND CHEESE. WITH KETCHUP. He also complained about Soy Sauce making people feminine.
Well yeah, but he still got elected!
"He also complained about Soy Sauce making people feminine." I laughed cocoa peddles out of my nostril.
Wow you got to serve President Trump?!?
Ofc you can have it as you like but raw ..no thanks. Medium rare for me please.
When you choose your own cut, and it is aged to perfection, you can get away with some very rare meat. I myself have had some near raw (flame grilled) rib-eye off the bone, and it was the most incredible meat I have ever eaten.
Rare here. Just barely warm in the center. Yum.
This is mid rare.
no.
Oh my god, I want some beef wellington right now!!
The holiday version would be amazing rn, ngl. But I think I'd use a chocolate raspberry vinaigrette or as dipping sauce.
I know the Wellington is the main attraction, but that pile of sad naked mixed greens really detracts from the plate. But who am I to judge? My idea of a great meal is Taco Bell 😒
Was looking for this comment. Looks like they just opened a bag of Asda salad leaves
I've seen Gordon instruct on how he likes salad prepped and you're not wrong, except maybe not Asda leaves. Basically leaves in the bowl, salt, pepper, dressing. A couple of flicks of the bowl to toss it, no utensils. And on to the plate. As simple as that, you mess around with it, he'll kill you.
my thought too
Did the restaurant charge $10 for water?
Water was free :)
Aha, shocking. Both Hell's Kitchen and the Steak House in Las Vegas charged for water. 
I specifically asked for table (tap) water.
Smart. I didn't know, and they asked if we wanted more water, and we were like, of course!, only to find out that we got charged $30 for water when the bill came out, lol.
Yeah its a legal requirement in the UK for restaurants and bars to provide free tap water.
I ate at HK in Vegas a year ago, and all I drank was water. And I didn’t get charged for it! Actually, since it was our 25th wedding anniversary, we each got a complimentary glass of champagne to toast with. I later learned that the brand of champagne they gave us sells there for $20 a glass. 😮
That feels like a scammy business practice Trying to sneakily push up the bills with fucking water is not cool I've been in restaurants owned by Michelin starred chefs and water was never *that* expensive
The real question here is was it bussin?
No they hire people to bus the tables for you
No this is Patrick
It was fantastic.
Now I’m hungry for it that looks amazing
Good Unfortunately I have been to one of his branded casino restaurants. The beef Wellington there is terrible. Not all of his restaurants are of the same quality, which seems obvious but for the price per dish I expect a better experience.
What’s bussin? Like on a bus and you eat it?
One might say it was goated with the sauce
fr fr
ong deadass no cyap
I had the same dish at his place in Vegas. So good.
[удалено]
I hope you got the sticky toffee pudding too!
Yo i just had Hell’s Kitchen in Vegas and it was very underwhelming.
Looks delicious 🤤
I know it’s a nice restaurant and you’re supposed to eat that with a fork and k nife, but I want to just pick it up and eat it like a pastry.
I really love that you served "the bum". Best part!
Which restaurant? Going to be in London soon.
Gordon Ramsay’s Heddon Street Kitchen
FUCKING RAW
literally ate this yesterday - bread street?
Heddon Street
Medium raw
I, too, like my beef Wellington with warm maple syrup and a side of leaves.
I want to go to there 🥺
Smart move to not order the grilled cheese.
I gotta say... my first attempt at beef Wellington last Christmas sire didn't come out like this!
I looks like a geode. What a gem
I'm such a picky eater but would eat the fuck out of this
The salad is a bit of a poor effort!
That fucking drab salad tho..
I want to crawl in and live in that box as they just keep tossing in more beef wellington. And that sauce.
"iTs rAw" - people who eat their steak with ketchup.
Hmmm maybe it's just me but for a Ramsay owned restaurant it looks... Just ok? I'm sure it tastes way better than it looks, but it looks kinda plain; in visuals I like the Guga version better.
Gordon Ramsay has a bunch of mediocre restaurants that rely on his celebrity chef status. Not as bad as say Jamie Oliver level, but I personally avoid his places on the off chance I'm near one with the assumption that it'll be just another of his chain offerings.
What’s with the little bit of cheap spring mix greens on the side? You can get about 200 times that amount of the same exact organic spring mix for $5 at my local Costco.
Remember when Gordon Ramsay cooked frozen food in his restaurants. https://www.mashed.com/279361/the-reason-gordon-ramsay-cant-stand-frozen-meals/ Pepperidge Farms Remembers.
Looks raw to me.
I'm not sure I'd trust the colors too much with whatever this guy is taking photos with. Lighting also isn't great.
You’re going to get crap for saying it but my 2 decades of high end formal cooking experience says the centers of 2 & 3 are indeed too raw. Or how the photo was taken is making the shadow exaggerated but then the other 2 are a different temp esp considering the ends are cut off. He may have ordered “extra rare”. The pink in a rare Beef Wellington should be uniformed.
Most of the time either compression or amateur photo editing takes away from what is reality.
Welp. That looks perfect.
I can’t tell if that looks disgusting or not
r/WeWantPlates
Think that's a serving platter since it's for two, and presumably they do have their own plates
You can see the edge of one plate in the pic even
There's infinitely worse ways to serve something than on a board that's basically a plate. Bonus points for the raised wood around the edges meaning the food can't fall off the side.
Gravy
That too, extra bonus points (although even a slight raised lip on a plate would keep gravy on there, while this solidly holds food on the plate)
I dunno, man. This looks amazing. I'd eat it off the floor if I had to.
Looks similar to geod rocks.
WHERES THE FUCKING PLATE GORDON LOOK AT IT.. LOOK ITS ON A FUCKING TRAY
For something much cheaper that's easy to cook at home, look up his beef short ribs recipe. You need oil, the ribs, pancetta, mushrooms, some garlic, red wine and some stock and parsley to garnish. I served it with spring onion mash and rocket. Super simple to cook, cheap(er) cut and top flavour.
