……well that would be fun but shorts and a t-shirt….. so the modern tux of the day….lol!

Talk about totally NAILING that!

Perfect treatment for A5 and those scallops? Wooo.... cooked to perfection.

I think you should stop now because that's as good as it gets.

Cheers!

Bill

Much appreciated Bill! Yea my best hope is to be able to repeat it at some point I. The future…… it’s only an experience that happens every couple of years!

Wow that looks awesome! Some beautiful plating. A local Wagyu rancher just opened up a Wagyu meat market. To $$ for me. He did give me a couple flanken ribs to try.

Thanks Brian! Flanken ribs are tasty that’s a nice score…..honestly it’s less than a couple of x-box games…..lol!

Phenomenal! Simply amazing looking meal!

Many thanks Steve!

Ah we didn’t do any crabbing on the coast but I did eat lots of crab (oh and the home freezer is full of crawfish we catch locally)…… but the scallops help reset the richness of the beef….need something to bring them back to this world….lol.

I’ll pass along the b-day wishes on to the boy and yea he is he eats pretty dang good! At least he eats Totinos pizza and box mac….lol.

Another fantastic meal at your place. I think this settles it; I am buying a place in Idaho. Any homes for sale on your block? Where do you source the A5 from?

Thanks ifits! I believe Idaho is FULL.....LOL do you do dishes and chop wood, if so maybe something can be arranged! LOL

We have ordered A5 twice now and both times have been through Costco. They usually have it on sale (like 20% off) in the last part of July or August.

It comes frozen and both times considerable dry ice has been in the box, ie it is shipped overnight on restricted delivery days in case an extra day is needed (no holding over the weekend), and the extra dry ice would have kept an extra day on both our shipments......

We like Costco because if there is an issue we drive to the box store and say $$$ back please..... Kinda piece of mind when you are shipping an Item like this!!!

Incredible plate there civil! Nice work man!

Much appreciated swamp!

Just plain fantastic

Thanks WR!

$470 for 3lbs of A5 ribeye at costco online now, even with 20 off it would still be $376. I could afford it, but not sure if I could actually pull the trigger.

Wow, what a meal… just phenomenal my friend… Grand Slam! Very nicely executed on all phases.

Tell civil jr wishing him a belated Happy Birthday.

He and Mrs civil sure know how to make some delicious additions to the meal.

End of September is kinda busy here… Dads birthday is the 24th… and the folks anniversary is the 29th. He’s 77 and they just had their 53rd anniversary.

Yea its $$ but considering what it takes to take a family of 4 out for a steak dinner (ouch), then add in sans b-day presents.... oh and we still have 2 left.... for a second meal..... it actually ends up saving $$$........LOL

Oh you are not wrong on the math. Steak house wife and I went to last month was $300 and with only 2 drinks. I need to keep that logic in my head when I order it.

thx

Entire meal looks absolutely delish

I'm calling it. Idaho is the new epicenter of the BBQ universe. Sorry, Kansas City and Texas; you had a good run, but you've been eclipsed.
