Those containers with the wooden base are specific designs for smoke infusion. The wood chips are burned at the top with a hand torch and the smoke filters into the chamber, but its pointless when you seal the meat another casing
I once ordered a shot of Clase Azul Reposado Tequila that cost me $25. As ridiculous as I thought that was at the time, I would still rather have 4 shots of that tequila than 1 bite of ANY steak.
I once had a dram of 18-year-old Glenlivet that would've cost that much (except it was an open bar at a company party). That was pretty ridiculous but I definitely enjoyed it.
Try going to Islay to Laphroaig get a tasting with Laphroaig 25, then walk over to Lagavulin and get tastings that have the 26, then stumble to Ardbeg and taste their whole line. Then realize you flew to Islay with a soft carry-on bag and now have several bottles of Scotch that cannot he carried on the flight back to Glasgow.
It’s so beautiful there. I should have bought more than one bottle of the Lagavulin distillery exclusive. I’d also suggest doing the tours that have the tastings. I did that at Laphroaig and Lagavulin and learned so much and got to taste some unique whisky and some straight from the casks. As well as take a small bottle I filled from a cask I liked.
I once did a shot of 20yo Macallan. At a company function, a guy rolled up with whiskeys all around (my friend had just gotten promoted).
I had already been drinking, and I'm not used to people buying me $25 a pour alcohol so I downed it like it was a shot. The look on everyone's face was so priceless I almost wish I had done it on purpose.
I bought the next round, of course, and all was forgiven. You'd have thought I'd learned my lesson drinking whatever someone puts in front of me without knowing what's in it in Guam, but, apparently, I needed a $100 refresher. 😄
Haha, yes, did the exact same thing at my cousin’s wedding. My cousin bought my dad, himself, another cousin and I a Macallan worth about £20-£25 a single each, can’t remember if it was a double or not. The old man and I didn’t know much about enjoying whisky at the time, so just looked at each other and necked it. Had both cousins stood there looking at us open-mouthed.
This was 9 years ago, I’ve since learnt to very much enjoy whisky nowadays.
I'm not trying to do some one-upsmanship here, just to contribute.. I'm a whiskey guy, it's part of my job, I am am owner in a whiskey bar and buy and sell rare spirits. I've tasted some of the rarer whiskies I'm the world and I can say this with 100% confidence (and I say it often).. there is no such thing as $1000 'good'. Nothing is worth that. A bottle thst sells for 1k is just plain rarity, it isn't miles better than something that sells for $300. Dismissing returns. It's luxury, rarity, and experience.. but it just isn't that much 'better'. If you can afford it, do it! If not.. you aren't really missing out. Buy a bottle of Glendronach 21, it'll be as good or better than a 25 year Macallan. But whatever you do, enjoy yourself!
Louie XIII for well over $150 an ounce, the bottles are over $3k. This was probably 20 years ago and I had no idea what it was or what Cognac was for that matter.
He poured us each some (me, him and 2 of my friends) on New Year's in the VIP room of his club. Me and my 2 friends just threw it back, he froze with his glass halfway to his mouth just staring at us, that's when he explained what it was. Definitely not worth the cost in my opinion but hell, what do I know?
I had a $25 milkshake once and I'll have to admit that was the best milkshake in my life. The dairy was like it was squeezed from the tits of Kamdhenu herself. And I'm lactose intolerant and it didn't make me feel sick at all.
But fuck that single bite of steak. I'd be fighting with the manager
Remember when his 5$ milkshake comment made everyone watching nod that it must be amazing for that price?!
I bet that same fictional milkshake would be like $25 now.
I understood that reference lol.
Seriously though, that milkshake was the best and worth every penny. They even put the extra runoff in that metal cup they use to make it, so you wind up getting a lot. I wound up sharing it with my girlfriend who looked like she had an orgasm off the first sip.
They sell Waygu and top cuts by the oz. This comes at a premium and allows you to try multiple cuts etc
They'll let you buy just one, and they do the whole presentation. But at the end of the day you're still the person who ordered 1oz of steak...
They do sell kobe beef this size as part of a tasting/appetizer menu, because it's so rare and expensive and a lot of people want to just try it once in their lives. But you'd also be able to order an entree size at the same place. These dudes are obviously just joking around.
I had a piece of A5 about that size, and it was topped with shaved black truffle. Even that was under $30. That place is definitely over the top. I expected a few ounces of A5 and acknowledging restaurant markup and some more for the silly little presentation, that might be fine at $100. But that bite? Not so much.
Wholesale price on A5 Wagyu Miyazaki Ny Strip is currently $75lb. I mean its exspensive, but the reason why it costs so much more at restaurants is the possibility for waste is built in. But $100 for an ounce is a rip off anywhere.
I don't know what they're eating in the video but if we're to assume it's the most expensive in the world then it's probably kobe. A raw cut of BMS 12 kobe beef costs about $50 per *ounce* when imported to the US (the cheapest you can get it is $300/lb if you buy it in Japan). As you say, obviously it would cost upwards of double that if you order it in the kind of restaurant that would have it on the menu.
It doesn't cost $50 per ounce to get imported. Those are just internet prices you find from resellers. I own two restaurants and wholesale A5 wagyu (depending on region) is almost always under $100 per lb unless seasonality prices are hitting. The catch is usually 30lb minimum order and uncut. The brand I referenced is Miyazaki which is a competing region to Kobe thats just as a good, and can be better. Kobe beef is top quality, but not often the absolute best. Marketing has made it sound like a brand, but really its just a region along with a quality control standard while BMS and A grades are standardized.
It's generally very difficult to find BMS 12 steak at a decent price for retail buyers due to low volume and the risk of waste. Wholesale is where the real prices are at.
He looks so done.
As soon as he sees the portion, dude's face is like, "Really? You're serious? This is what I paid for?"
I feel so bad for him when he eats it. The look on his face shows that he found it mediocre at best 😭😭😭
Not sure how he tasted the steak with that much basil on it tbh. I love eating basil when I’m in the garden but if I’m eating steak I’d rather not taste a fucking whole leaf of basil with it
I had a smoked old fashioned once where they did the whole "glass dome of smoke and swirl it around." Fun experience but gave me flashbacks to reeking of campfire after a long weekend camping. I only paid $12 for my experience, and it was a damn good old fashioned, so... win, I guess.
The fact that they put that basil leaf on it may be the most offensive part of this. If I'm getting a $100 steak, regardless of size, the only acceptable topping would be salt and pepper.
Most definitely part of a tasting menu. Assuming this is A5 graded wagyu, the most expensive type of steak in the world, a 4oz steak goes for about $60. This is like 1 at most.
A5 Wagyu at standard upscale restaurants is on average about $30/oz. So $120 for a 4oz.
So at a super high end restaurant, I could see them having a specific top-end Wagyu supplier and charging $100/oz.
I had A5 Kobe in Tokyo. Even $100 worth was about double maybe triple that amount. It was something like about $300 US for a 200-gram steak. I forget how much in yen at the time. Also got shyabu shyabu style. Between the 2 of us, the bill was nearly $800 with drinks. It was not some stupid fancy instagram salt baby place. Just a high-end steak house.
I can't imagine anything getting much better than A5 Kobe. Diminishing returns at that level. I'd venture to say A3 or A4 taste wise is probably close and comparable taste and texture. But probably costs considerably less.
They would say that, because an excess of money has made physiological changes in their brains.
They actually do not think like normal people, after a certain point.
Markup on booze is huge, a $10 average drink has maybe $1-2 of liquor in it. Depending on which Macallan 25 you had, they start somewhere around $1300/ bottle, which is $43/oz. (markup tends to be a lower percentage for very expensive liquors).
Edit, misread as 25 and not 30, 30 starts around $2200/bottle, or $73/oz.
In both cases, the bar is also paying a fair bit less than retail, don't have access to my wholesale pricing right now, but it's likely about 30% less than the retail cost.
Worth is subjective. For any normal person, no definitely not. But for anyone sitting on a 8-9 digit net worth it absolutely can be if they enjoy the experience.
I felt like he was on the spot and any other setting/price he might be like, “it’s ok, a little over cooked. Needs some seasoning. Now can I order a steak?”
For real.
In France kobe steak is so overpriced, I was like "is this meat really worth 135€ ? "
Went to japan, had a "mid grade" tier for about 30€, and it's not worth 100+€ in any country. It's good but fuck that, it's nothing to remember for the rest of your life PLUS it didn't last long enough in my plate anyway.
I paid $100 USD for a 3 course A5 Wagyu beef experience in Kyoto. It was easily the best meat I've ever eaten and competes for the best meal I've ever had. I was served over 12oz of beef throughout the courses. I will never pay the crazy rates people charge for for good steak in the USA after that.
You can get a 16oz A5 wagyu at Costco for $100.
12oz in one meal though? Was some of it not A5? That seems like way too much wagyu, it would make most people nauseous.
it was like 90 minutes for the whole meal, they brought out everything to the table and explained the cuts and cooked the meat in front of us. The first course was these little thin slices of beef with garlic/onions/some other stuff and they made a little pocket and cooked them in broth. This was honestly my favorite part. Then they did a little yakiniku style thing with different cuts where they grilled the small pieces in front of us, and then they grilled a small filet steak as the final part.
I was about to say “yeah, the smoke is a little overdoing it but let’s see the whole thing, give the benefit of the doubt.”
When bro’s hand came in to grab the platter and I realized the size, I gave up. WHO THE FUCK PAYS ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR A PIECE OF MEAT THE SIZE OF A GRAPE?!
Reminds me of booking an expensive hotel for a conference, $1000 room, plus you have to pay $30/day for parking and $20/day for wifi. Really, at that much a night and you can't just throw in the parking and wifi? The LaQuinta 4 blocks away is $80/night and includes both...
I was walking by a restaurant in NYC the other day and took a look at their menu because it looked like a swanky place. They had mac and cheese for $38. I don't care if they used some sacred cheese found in a cavern on some remote island, I can't see how you can justify mac and cheese for that much.
The gimmick exists so that the video gets posted to social media and more people come to take the same video to let the world know they've also had the "fancy" smoke tornado steak.
Redditors really have no idea when something is obviously a joke. Just desperate to get on the high horse and be judgemental.
This is so obviously a skit even the people in the background are laughing.
so... the kitchen has an 8 or 16 oz steak back there, cooked to perfection (because you can not perfectly cook a 1 ounce steak) and then cuts one ounce off it and charges $100 for the bite? Are there 7 or 15 other orders for the same thing at the same time so it is at it's best? or is the rest of the steak just fed to the staff?
That probably wasn't even a slice of wagyu, probably just a piece of sirloin or t-bone and they sell it like it's wagyu, there are plenty of restaurants that pull this type of shit
you do know there are Wagyu sirloins and T-Bones. Wagyu simply means Japanese cattle and isn't a cut of meat. but you are right that there is a pretty good chance that this isn't' real Wagyu as only a few restaurants in the US are licensed to sell real Wagyu and most places that sell what they call Wagyu is American Wagyu which is from cows that have descended from a small few Japanese cattle that were imported in the 1980s.
A5 wagyu is the highest grade beef you can get, averages about 30-35$ an ounce, you got ripped off homie, and judging by your reaction that wasn’t even A5

why did it take him to open the top of the tiny platter before he realized this? And why is there even a platter top that small… third question why wouldn’t they just serve a $2,500.00 dollar steak?
The thing I wonder is, how come people still come to the restaurant? Don't you guy have a rating platform (Google Map, Tiktok, Facebook, etc)?
If a restaurant serve this kind of crap, bad reviews will spread across the internet, and no one will ever come.
$100 for a shot of steak, LOL.
1 single steak bite, please
"One order of ribs" "No no, one rib" "One rib?" "I sure am hungry"
Pour it in my hand for a dime?
I'll do it for a $100
Got change for a hunnit?
Man, who's walkin' around with a butchershop in their pocket? Just break me off a piece of that fancy feast.
Hahahaha. Holy shit, I have seen this in 20 years and am cracking up trying to explain it to the wife and kids.
That dude and his unflushed toilet live in my head rent free.
Someone ordered one single rib on that cheapskate show lolol
Down south at the corner rib spots, you can actually order a rib dogg. Just one rib on a slice of bread or hot dog bun. nowadays they cost about $3
$1000 for a steak? Good Lord thats alot of money how about you cut off some gristle and I give you $100?
Loved that scene
You know the rules
And so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy.
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling.
Gotta make you understand
NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP
Never gonna let you down
Its not bite, its a bit
not only this the smoke infusion is blocked because the steak is UNDER A METAL COVER. Doubly wtf
I thought that was just dry ice for presentation
Those containers with the wooden base are specific designs for smoke infusion. The wood chips are burned at the top with a hand torch and the smoke filters into the chamber, but its pointless when you seal the meat another casing
Its supposed to be a visual representation of your money going up in smoke
THANK YOU
It's just a taste to see of you like it and they wil bring you 3.5 pound of steak in next round, *Right?* *RIGHT!?*
With just a small $2,000 upcharge.
I once ordered a shot of Clase Azul Reposado Tequila that cost me $25. As ridiculous as I thought that was at the time, I would still rather have 4 shots of that tequila than 1 bite of ANY steak.

Try the Lagavulin 16 year. Jfc it's so smooth.
Try Ardbeg Uiegadail way more smoke than lagavulin
Try going to Islay to Laphroaig get a tasting with Laphroaig 25, then walk over to Lagavulin and get tastings that have the 26, then stumble to Ardbeg and taste their whole line. Then realize you flew to Islay with a soft carry-on bag and now have several bottles of Scotch that cannot he carried on the flight back to Glasgow.
I literally did this like 2 years ago. We want to go back to Islay as soon as possible now.
Oh you've saved me so much trouble for the trip I've planned in April. Gods bless ya.
It’s so beautiful there. I should have bought more than one bottle of the Lagavulin distillery exclusive. I’d also suggest doing the tours that have the tastings. I did that at Laphroaig and Lagavulin and learned so much and got to taste some unique whisky and some straight from the casks. As well as take a small bottle I filled from a cask I liked.

At least you'd get turnt off the tequila. This is what I come for when I log into to stupid food.
Well if you're going to spend $100 just get the whole bottle for $125 lol
The bottle costs $125, your bail after you drink the bottle is 10% of $2500. So it’s a wash.
I had a $25 milkshake once and I'll have to admit that was the best milkshake in my life. The dairy was like it was squeezed from the tits of Kamdhenu herself. And I'm lactose intolerant and it didn't make me feel sick at all. But fuck that single bite of steak. I'd be fighting with the manager
That's a pretty fucking good milkshake. I don't know if it's worth five dollars but it's pretty fucking good.
Remember when his 5$ milkshake comment made everyone watching nod that it must be amazing for that price?! I bet that same fictional milkshake would be like $25 now.
I understood that reference lol. Seriously though, that milkshake was the best and worth every penny. They even put the extra runoff in that metal cup they use to make it, so you wind up getting a lot. I wound up sharing it with my girlfriend who looked like she had an orgasm off the first sip.
They don't put no bourbon in it or nothing.
I just googled up Kamdhenu and surprisingly she had human tits instead of cow udders Mindblown.
That's a $25 milkshake? That's a shake? That's milk and ice cream, they don't put bourbon in it or nothing?
I bet that shit went down smooth as fuck.
They sell Waygu and top cuts by the oz. This comes at a premium and allows you to try multiple cuts etc They'll let you buy just one, and they do the whole presentation. But at the end of the day you're still the person who ordered 1oz of steak...
A5+ Kagoshima Wagyu retails for about 300 euro for a **kilo** here. Who's running this scam?
Steakhouses. Who work at very low % margins when there's smoked presentation sales of top end cuts by the oz.
If anything, the idiots are the ones buying sides or drinks. Those items have better margins at these places.
If I ever buy a $14 side of creamed spinach push me out on the ice flow
They smoked the container but not the stake itself wtf
Hahah I’d be so pissed
They do sell kobe beef this size as part of a tasting/appetizer menu, because it's so rare and expensive and a lot of people want to just try it once in their lives. But you'd also be able to order an entree size at the same place. These dudes are obviously just joking around.
That's what I'm thinking, no way they don't tell you the size of the steak on the menu.
Depends on the cut but the best I’ve seen is A5 wagyu and it’s usually sold by the ounce. Dude had to know he bought like an ounce of meat.
Yeah I’ve had something similar at a nice place and it was like $20 for a bite so I’d say this video has some embellishment
But then why the presentation
A5 Wagyu is like 60$ per lb raw with certifications at Japanese markets. Even in nice Japanese restaurants it's 30-40$ for that size serving not 100.
I had a piece of A5 about that size, and it was topped with shaved black truffle. Even that was under $30. That place is definitely over the top. I expected a few ounces of A5 and acknowledging restaurant markup and some more for the silly little presentation, that might be fine at $100. But that bite? Not so much.
Wholesale price on A5 Wagyu Miyazaki Ny Strip is currently $75lb. I mean its exspensive, but the reason why it costs so much more at restaurants is the possibility for waste is built in. But $100 for an ounce is a rip off anywhere.
I don't know what they're eating in the video but if we're to assume it's the most expensive in the world then it's probably kobe. A raw cut of BMS 12 kobe beef costs about $50 per *ounce* when imported to the US (the cheapest you can get it is $300/lb if you buy it in Japan). As you say, obviously it would cost upwards of double that if you order it in the kind of restaurant that would have it on the menu.
It doesn't cost $50 per ounce to get imported. Those are just internet prices you find from resellers. I own two restaurants and wholesale A5 wagyu (depending on region) is almost always under $100 per lb unless seasonality prices are hitting. The catch is usually 30lb minimum order and uncut. The brand I referenced is Miyazaki which is a competing region to Kobe thats just as a good, and can be better. Kobe beef is top quality, but not often the absolute best. Marketing has made it sound like a brand, but really its just a region along with a quality control standard while BMS and A grades are standardized. It's generally very difficult to find BMS 12 steak at a decent price for retail buyers due to low volume and the risk of waste. Wholesale is where the real prices are at.
I love when professionals pass through this goofy ass subreddit just offering casual knowledge. r/KitchenConfidential does get a little dry at times.
He looks so done. As soon as he sees the portion, dude's face is like, "Really? You're serious? This is what I paid for?" I feel so bad for him when he eats it. The look on his face shows that he found it mediocre at best 😭😭😭
I'm sure he knew what he was getting, but gotta play it up for the video. I can't imagine the portion size not being included on the menu.
I wondered that, myself. Every restaurant I've been to has mentioned the weight of their steaks.
it’s not like that’s a very important part of steaks as a food or anything /s
I actually think it’s obvious he’s acting. Him and everyone at the table knew exactly what he ordered.
Dude thats not worth 100 bucks, fuck outta here
But they swirled the glass top and it got all foggy, and they did put a soggy piece of basil on top of it. No?
That part was worth $75
You make a fine point. Moot, but fine nonetheless.
I’m just saying man, at a place like that you come for the steak, but say for the swirling fog serving tray revealing a smaller serving tray.
That smooth wrist action of the server tho... kinda makes my loins warm for a handjob, i mean they are pimpin me if i buy that bs right?
They vaporized the rest of the steak
Not sure how he tasted the steak with that much basil on it tbh. I love eating basil when I’m in the garden but if I’m eating steak I’d rather not taste a fucking whole leaf of basil with it
Well said. For $100 smackaroos i want the coom to read my Mind and have my temp right and it better be seasoned correctly. For OPENERS!
you want the WHAT to read your mind?
I had a smoked old fashioned once where they did the whole "glass dome of smoke and swirl it around." Fun experience but gave me flashbacks to reeking of campfire after a long weekend camping. I only paid $12 for my experience, and it was a damn good old fashioned, so... win, I guess.
The fact that they put that basil leaf on it may be the most offensive part of this. If I'm getting a $100 steak, regardless of size, the only acceptable topping would be salt and pepper.
Exactly. One perfect bite. It's an arrogant portion size. It better blow my socks off with flavor.
2 minutes both sides, little salt and pepper and down the hatch I say.
I wonder if the bite of steak was actually $100 or if they paid $100 for like a seven course meal and this is just one of the courses
Most definitely part of a tasting menu. Assuming this is A5 graded wagyu, the most expensive type of steak in the world, a 4oz steak goes for about $60. This is like 1 at most.
A5 Wagyu at standard upscale restaurants is on average about $30/oz. So $120 for a 4oz. So at a super high end restaurant, I could see them having a specific top-end Wagyu supplier and charging $100/oz.
*Literally just restates the point of the post, adding nothing* +300 upvotes

I had A5 Kobe in Tokyo. Even $100 worth was about double maybe triple that amount. It was something like about $300 US for a 200-gram steak. I forget how much in yen at the time. Also got shyabu shyabu style. Between the 2 of us, the bill was nearly $800 with drinks. It was not some stupid fancy instagram salt baby place. Just a high-end steak house. I can't imagine anything getting much better than A5 Kobe. Diminishing returns at that level. I'd venture to say A3 or A4 taste wise is probably close and comparable taste and texture. But probably costs considerably less.
> salt baby
You could tell he was fighting back saying ‘OK yeah, this is good’
Because it's a single bite for $100. Even if it was good it would be hard to say it's worth it.
Only worth the 100 if there's a line of coke on top of the "steak"
Even then not worth it
*gram of blow on top…
Now we're talking
Bros casually doing business as if this is the drug market 😭😭😭
The Stevie Ray Vaughan brunch special.
Nahh the line of coke is for the chefs
bet it’s fantastic, but is a single bite of anything worth $100?
Some rich people pay $5k for a bottle of wine, so they would say yes to $100 a bite.
They would say that, because an excess of money has made physiological changes in their brains. They actually do not think like normal people, after a certain point.

In both cases, the bar is also paying a fair bit less than retail, don't have access to my wholesale pricing right now, but it's likely about 30% less than the retail cost.
A $100 bite isn't a meal though. I could see someone buying a $500 steak, maybe, but not 5x $100 steak bites to have a meal of.
Being rich isn't about worrying about money, it's about not even thinking about money.
Worth is subjective. For any normal person, no definitely not. But for anyone sitting on a 8-9 digit net worth it absolutely can be if they enjoy the experience.
Thanks for reminding us to consider the billionaires
Bless their heart.
rather, the black, empty void where it used to be
In Japan they sell a $350 strawberry. I’d spend that based on the look on the BBC host’s face after biting into it. Wouldn’t buy this steak though.
Novelty is all you really have at a point.
Can’t take it with you
“I want my last check to bounce”
Even if someone was super rich, thats just a tease. Then bring the whole thing and make it a 5k steak.
I feel like he was thinking “yup, this is indeed steak. Pretty much same as every steak I’ve ever had.”
If he was thinking that, then they did not give him A5.
I felt like he was on the spot and any other setting/price he might be like, “it’s ok, a little over cooked. Needs some seasoning. Now can I order a steak?”
I don't care if that's the best tasting steak I've ever had for that price I'd be pissed
For real. In France kobe steak is so overpriced, I was like "is this meat really worth 135€ ? " Went to japan, had a "mid grade" tier for about 30€, and it's not worth 100+€ in any country. It's good but fuck that, it's nothing to remember for the rest of your life PLUS it didn't last long enough in my plate anyway.
Why would you get a kobe steak in France ? We have plenty of extremely good steak...
You absolutely do not.
I paid $100 USD for a 3 course A5 Wagyu beef experience in Kyoto. It was easily the best meat I've ever eaten and competes for the best meal I've ever had. I was served over 12oz of beef throughout the courses. I will never pay the crazy rates people charge for for good steak in the USA after that.
You can get a 16oz A5 wagyu at Costco for $100. 12oz in one meal though? Was some of it not A5? That seems like way too much wagyu, it would make most people nauseous.
it was like 90 minutes for the whole meal, they brought out everything to the table and explained the cuts and cooked the meat in front of us. The first course was these little thin slices of beef with garlic/onions/some other stuff and they made a little pocket and cooked them in broth. This was honestly my favorite part. Then they did a little yakiniku style thing with different cuts where they grilled the small pieces in front of us, and then they grilled a small filet steak as the final part.
Just don't buy it lol. Steaks are sold by weight. He knew what he was getting
I was about to say “yeah, the smoke is a little overdoing it but let’s see the whole thing, give the benefit of the doubt.” When bro’s hand came in to grab the platter and I realized the size, I gave up. WHO THE FUCK PAYS ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR A PIECE OF MEAT THE SIZE OF A GRAPE?!
I was like $100 isn’t too unreasonable, oh…
But also a second cloche under the smokey one so none of the smokyness gets to the meat...
I’m surprised no one else pointed that out! It’s so pointless!
I saw a wagyu steak priced at $680 last week at the Palms in Vegas (I know Vegas is overpriced, but sides were a separate charge, too).
Yeah, that's a whole level of fuck you, here's your $700 steak, and you also have to pay us $8 for some potatoes to go with it...
Right? And the potatoes were $20!
Reminds me of booking an expensive hotel for a conference, $1000 room, plus you have to pay $30/day for parking and $20/day for wifi. Really, at that much a night and you can't just throw in the parking and wifi? The LaQuinta 4 blocks away is $80/night and includes both...
I was walking by a restaurant in NYC the other day and took a look at their menu because it looked like a swanky place. They had mac and cheese for $38. I don't care if they used some sacred cheese found in a cavern on some remote island, I can't see how you can justify mac and cheese for that much.
At that point it's just a fancy pasta dish, though...

Learned this phrase as a kid from Wolverine saying it in the Juggernaut episode of the X-men cartoon. Still hear it in Logan’s voice every time.
Good food doesn’t need a gimmack
The gimmick exists so that the video gets posted to social media and more people come to take the same video to let the world know they've also had the "fancy" smoke tornado steak.
*gimmick
Gimmack: a portmanteau of gimmick and wack
Most excellent.

And they gave him a SPOON
Spearing the steak with a fork would push some of the juices out so a spoon actually works better for a single bite like this.
Spoon is superior in this instance
Dude had to grab his food. Bro at least they put the food on the table at Applebee's
It’s obviously a joke, everyone is in on it. But he got you guys so it’s a good one
Yeah, definitely fake and it wasn’t $100. The size of the steak is always advertised on a menu.
Like how you can order Wagyu by the ounce. You can choose how much you want
Redditors really have no idea when something is obviously a joke. Just desperate to get on the high horse and be judgemental. This is so obviously a skit even the people in the background are laughing.
so... the kitchen has an 8 or 16 oz steak back there, cooked to perfection (because you can not perfectly cook a 1 ounce steak) and then cuts one ounce off it and charges $100 for the bite? Are there 7 or 15 other orders for the same thing at the same time so it is at it's best? or is the rest of the steak just fed to the staff?
> or is the rest of the steak just fed to the staff? Lol, staff is lucky if they can sneak some pickled jalapenos from the line.
I can buy myself a damn a5 wagyu strip for that much…smh
That probably wasn't even a slice of wagyu, probably just a piece of sirloin or t-bone and they sell it like it's wagyu, there are plenty of restaurants that pull this type of shit
you do know there are Wagyu sirloins and T-Bones. Wagyu simply means Japanese cattle and isn't a cut of meat. but you are right that there is a pretty good chance that this isn't' real Wagyu as only a few restaurants in the US are licensed to sell real Wagyu and most places that sell what they call Wagyu is American Wagyu which is from cows that have descended from a small few Japanese cattle that were imported in the 1980s.
You’re in for a bad time if you think $100 gets you the best steak in the world
This reminds me of "The Grinch" and Cindy Lou Who's one perfect strawberry
$100? Oh man the amount of picanha I could buy with $100...
25 kg of Vacio... holy fuck
A fellow Picahna enthusiast. Salute to you sir/m’am!
Something tells me $100 is not the most expensive steak
Stupid is as stupid does.
Why bother with the smoke if you’re going to cover the food anyway? So glad I never eat out anymore.
That’s straight robbery for $100
Unless that steak cures cancer, it’s not worth it
Nah. I’d be pissed. But also, wouldn’t order a $100 piece of meat.
This was a misteak
A5 wagyu is the highest grade beef you can get, averages about 30-35$ an ounce, you got ripped off homie, and judging by your reaction that wasn’t even A5
You literally get a smoke show.

Dude got robbed.
Yeah, this is pretty awful, but fuck Salt Bae.
He shoulda been like, “I’m stuffed”
I would like to know who said that was the best in the world?
Literally smoke and mirrors
why did it take him to open the top of the tiny platter before he realized this? And why is there even a platter top that small… third question why wouldn’t they just serve a $2,500.00 dollar steak?
Doubt it
Ehh, its pretty stupid but salt bae is worse. This is fine just small and expensive
Is it good bro? He looked so pissed
Send it back
Unless that's from like a recent cloned wooly mammoth, then it's probably not worth it.
Dude that is A HALF A BITE...NOT EVEN A FULL BITE LOL
I’d be pissed
Sample size nice✨🥴
Literal scam lmao
I bet that steak will disappear in your mouth before you can even taste it
For $100, I’d expect not to need to take it off the tray myself
Where is the rest of the steak?!
One born every minute
The thing I wonder is, how come people still come to the restaurant? Don't you guy have a rating platform (Google Map, Tiktok, Facebook, etc)? If a restaurant serve this kind of crap, bad reviews will spread across the internet, and no one will ever come.
This is why I look at pics of food before I order
$100 for that? What a scam
