Tam’s got a post on (drumroll) THE BEST STEAK EVAR! Which got me thinking about the best steak I ever had. It was the end of August 1997, Princess Di was days away from cementing her place in tabloid history, and the ‘lil woman and I were in San Diego. Well, actually we’d left the country for some well deserved R&R south of the border. No not that sh*thole TJ but down Ensenada way. Not actually in Ensenada but just north in Rosarito Beach at a little place called La Fonda.
The steak, I was informed, was raised by the Ukranian / American / Mexican / Canadian owner in the pasture across the highway and was fed a diet of only grass and grain.
It was slaughtered just that morning for the evenings service.
I literally cut it with my fork.
It was un-fscking-believable.
Unfortunately it looks like Dmytriw (the owner) has since sold out and moved on.
But, like all great things, the memories are there forever.
