Guga please can you do a caviar dry age steak
Applebees
You said pinned comment would be whoever guessed your favourite restaurant
olive garden i guess
where is my money
Noone has prime, cause gugu and his subscribers have eaten them all
I saw a dude buying a sous vide machine for Christmas. I said "Oh, giving sous vide a go?" He said he loved sous vide everything and asked me if I watched Guga? We bonded and both agreed there is no other way to cook a steak. Thank you Guga.
I also bought a sous vide machine because of Guga, I can make amazing steaks with it, but I think charcoal grill and butter basting is still superior. Even in a pan on the stove has more taste.
@@jeroenvdw well you are not intended to eat a sous vide steak straight out of the machine. You can, and should, still sear and butter baste it after the cooking, whether on the grill or on the stove.
@@trapezius77 I do ofcourse, but it's still not the same to me.
You haven't been pinned...do you think you're right?
Guga’s favorite restaurant is Olive Garden. Remember the pasta steak and Gorgonzola episode and how happy he was to recreate it.
I think you are right.
Yup! I’ve made that recipe many times I love it😂
I'm hoping Guga has better taste than having some chain restaurant as his favorite. Especially not Olive Garden.
Happier than Winnie the Pooh wih a jar of honey. I think you won this.
@@diannt9583 ehhh. Sometimes we have our favorites even if its not that good in general tho!
I swear this man has an unlimited amount of recipes for his potatoes. I’ve never seen the same potatoes in two different episodes 😂
South America all I have to say
I dunno, I’ve seen him do mashed potatoes about a thousand times. And his recipe for them is what I use every time I do mashed. Seriously, I never even thought to use cream cheese in mashed potatoes until Guga, but I won’t do them any other way ever again!
Also unlimited things to do on steaks! I keep thinking, "this is it huh? Nothings gonna top this!" Then guga always have something new.
I bet he could make a steak out of potatoes.
Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew
11 months later still nobody knows Guga's fav restaurant
Literally came to this video to find out and was disappointed
Irrelevant if you don't live in Florida USA!
@@DMSProduktions true but aye I would’ve went if I travelled 😂🤷🏾♂️
Prolly like a shitty fast food place like dons or tb
salt bae obviously
Guga, you will never know how many people you've inspired to up their steak game. Even with all the positive comments on your videos, they are only a small fraction of your sphere of influence. I finally tried Wagyu picanha two days ago. It blew me away with the flavour and tenderness. Keep up the fantastic content.
That is true, i had a BBQ smoker before and know some basic stuff but his videos let me spend more time on preparation, dry-aging and it improved my steak cooking. I also bought a Sous-Vide because i bought some Japanese Wagyu once and wanted to get it perfectly done. Little story for the Wagyu, i ordered 2kg of Rib-Eye and got 2kg ( so 4kg total ) for free as they made an error and send me way too much and in Germany they need to throw it when i send it back, so they let me keep it.
@@FelixIsGood I too purchased a sous vide machine because of Guga. And I've used some of the techniques showcased in his videos to wow family and friends. I also would never order a steak at a restaurant... Why pay for something I can make better? And substantially cheaper....
@@danielburca9857 Try the Dashi Kombu dry-aging, you won't regret it!
@@FelixIsGood I want to try out the Koji rice dry age first.
Where did you get it?
We ended up buying a half cow this year for the first time from a local rancher. Grass fed, no grain finish. Just picked it up from our butcher the other day and grilled up a Sirloin Tip Steak for the wife and I with just salt and pepper and a basting of garlic butter like you guys did in a previous video. Was probably the best steak I've ever had and I will NEVER eat steak at a restaurant again.
Great video!
What are you gonna do with the short loin?
Here in holland there is no way i can buy a whole
Cow
@@daveg4963 we shared the half with my parents and got a few Tbone steaks out of it.
I'm excited to try those 😁
Fantastic choice of cow. You can't get better beef than grassfed.
@@Tiwtin awesome! Sounds amazing. Love the taste of the strip and the tenderness of the tenderloin. Enjoy!
Angel is getting better everyday, he’s doing great with the camera and seems so much more comfortable
Just in time for the dry aging :]
Can't dry age an immature cow, same applies to a nephew.
I’ve always been fascinated with steaks since I was a kid learning how to cook, but I can safely say gugas method to simply seasoning with just salt, freshly ground black pepper and garlic powder. Definitely saved my Fourth of July party last year. The simple seasoning makes the steak taste so amazing. It brings out the natural flavors.
Me: "Oh well that steak doesn't look too-"
Guga: "This one? This is sad, this is not how a steak should be"
Me: "Disgusting, the steak is disgusting"
I been eating bad steak all my life huh 😭😭😂😂 I just got roasted on my food choosing locations XD
T-T
@@anything_alt6173 If you live in a more rural location just hit up a farmer and you'll eat better than him.
@@anything_alt6173 at least you have no where else to go but up. you're already at the bottom. ;)
@@felixchien1664 -_-
“Man who eats wagyu for a living finds regular steaks disappointing ” love your videos lol
I know you're joking, but Guga just knows where to get quality steaks for a good price. He knows a rip-off when he sees them
Once you've had Wagyu it's hard to go back😂
For part 2 of this challenge, do Trader Joes, Sprouts & Kroger
Add Stater Bros and Ralph’s too. Although, to be fair, Ralph’s and Sprouts do have Prime steaks.
No Kroger in S. Florida
He’s in Florida so he should try Publix’s
Don’t forget Costco
Local butcher shops. I've had the best experiences with local shops.
"Thicker is always better"😂 this cracked me up every time
I like my steak how I like my women aye lol
Honestly, Guga is the whole reason I cook my steaks the way I do and every single person I’ve ever cooked a steak for has been blown away by the flavour
Hes the reason i dry brine my steak and its good every single time compared of not doing it lol
@@sebastionjunior4125 The last time I dry brined, it was way too salty. Using less next time.
I also dry brine every time. My wife grilled steaks last week and she did not. It is night and day people. Do it.
In light of these results, I think it would be cool to see a sort of "buyer's guide" for steak: how to find places that even sell higher grade meat, how to select a cut based on your preferences, and how to make sure you're getting a good one
Costco Prime beef is the way to go. I've tried all the big markets near me and Costco is the winner. The other option is a real stand alone butcher shop if you can find one. I love my local butcher shop.
I remember his older walmart steak vid, many people were bashing him and angel for dissing the steaks saying wagyu ruined their taste for commoner food or smtg, and he posted a comment to quell these people saying a decent large prime picanha is about 35 at his dealer. But then again personal connections are still the best source for anything.
@@KPHVAC Thank you for the info 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@hebleh5771 picanha is actually not expensive at all.... i dont know why it has the name of "queen of steaks" because a new york steak costs more. I bought some at a local meat store and got 3 good sized steaks and 2 small ones and paid 42 i think it was. That is CHEAP.
I just call up local butcher shops and ask what they offer. That’s how I found out about a meat store in my area that sells dry aged steaks, USDA Prime cuts, and exotic meats.
Guga's fav restaurant is Smashburgers! Yeah, I wasn't expecting that either, it was in an earlier episode! :D
Great channel and definitely the best source of wisdom for cooking steak on the internet! The importance of having a "fat" steak cannot be overstated and a whole episode on this just makes sense! Great stuff!
guga pin this like usaid u would
Smashbuger is so good and incredibly underrated
@@raccoon_man6846 All I got to say is in and out just do it
I was disappointed by Smashburgers because they weren't smashed burgers. Still amazing burgers and I love what they do to the fries.
@@fourscarlet7581 did you have it more than once? It was definitely smashed the last time I went there
6:53 stop hair loss and improve hair loss" dead 🤣
Yoooo why is this comment not on top ahahahah
Bless HEB in Texas
They’ve even started carrying Texas wagyu
@@joshking6982 yeah, the wagyu fajitas/flank steak are good stuff
I just said the same thing!! HEB is the best thing in Texas! My HEB sales Wagyu and bone marrow. I'm not from Texas but when I moved here and found a HEB I was amazed!
I spent $120 recently on 4 wagyu ribeyes at HEB but they were some thick boys, 1.5” and heavy too, each steak was at least 24 oz. Best steak I had to date, smoked them offset I Tim 125 then blasted the direct until I was happy with the sear. Of course I dry brined them the night before, no additional seasoning, I wanted to taste that meat. I still wanna do that again.
@@downsouthlouisiana HEB ran Kroger outta here lol
I use to be a trucker, and Guga I can tell you from experience, that Walmart steaks are very different from state to state, If you go into a big beef state like Texas the steaks are REALLY good for being choice grading.
Next time you're in Texas, stop by an HEB. They have superior meats and produce. They kicked Albertsons and Kmart and one other out of town in the 90s, now it's HEB and Walmart. Only reason people go to Walmart is because they need non groceries as well so it's more convenient.
you gave me the confidence to cook steaks, I know nothing about cooking but thanks to you I can make myself a pretty good pan seared steak, thank you!
Yeah, a thin one is ultimately never as good as a properly cooked thick steak, but I like the thin ones in certain situations, because ALL they require is a good skillet sear, which also provides sufficient cooking on a steak that thin. As much as I love sous vide and torch or pan sear, it is sometimes more effort than wanted at the time.
A few secrets on the BJ's steak, 1. the reason it's cheaper is because it's beef from Canada, hence why there is no USDA Choice sticker on the package. 2. BJ's packages all their fresh cut meat based on prices, meaning that they have a range on what is acceptable to put into a package so you might find 3 smaller steaks or 2 larger steaks in a package. 3. Their 100% money back promise is no joke, they literally take back anything no matter how much was left or whatever the customer did to the piece of meat.
as does Costco's as far as the return take back
Awesome video, I love the grocery store videos they feel like the everyday joe can buy it.
Hey there checkmark
Agree
@@indianboy9575 hello
@@RightWayBBQ hi I'm big fan
@@emmanuelmacaia4210 awesome man!
Costco has prime steaks
but costco also requires a membership unless you wanna pay more, most dont have costco memberships
One year membership for all your needs is still cheaper then HBO Max. So really it comes down to priorities.
Unfortunately they blade tenderize all their steaks, even prime 😕
costco has wagyu too haha
@@Doorknobz if you want to get technical you could insert any streaming service into the comment. Point is peoples priorities are really skewed. Spend less on coffee then you do on a membership where you can get everything very inexpensive. You see where this is going? But hey, to each his own.
Walmart and a lot of other stores like them cut their steaks thin because they don't keep track of sales by weight or overall profit, they keep track of it by units sold. So the thinner you cut your steaks, the more packages or units of meat you can make with one ribeye roast. The More units sold, the larger the managers bonuses and department budgets. That's why it's so common to see sad thin sliced steaks at big name grocery stores. It's also the reason why deli meats and similar items are rarely ever sold in quantities of over a half a pound.
Guga, been watching you for long as I can remember. You're killing it with the fresh content lately. Not gonna lie, been getting a bit used to the dry age things with different things, but this is nice as hell.
Guga's favorite restaurant is definitely Texas Roadhouse but he doesn't order the steak while he's there! Guga, if you see this, please make and publish a cookbook with all your recipes including side dishes, I know we would literally all buy it!
I liked to eat out but after watching and making all these nice recipes on youtube there's only a handful of restaurants where I'm glad to pay for their food.
Smashburgers, he said in earlier videos..
I wish GUGA would do this with more grocery stores.....including Costco of course!
I'm hearing that some Costco's sell Japanese wagyu . I have no idea because the closest Costco to me 500km away lol.
@@zymbotictoot They always have many cuts of prime, Wagyu is not commonly available in warehouse but it has been. Wagyu is always available on their website (I've never seen it out of stock)
I was about to comment Costco. I just got 4 prime ribeyes last weekend for about $24/steak. Way better than the steaks from walmart, whole foods, etc.
@@zymbotictoot they have prime at costco, not sure about jp wagyu tho
Stay away from the worm fish store.…AKA Costco
I will never buy supermarket steak ever again.
I only ever buy from a butcher now.
Thanks to this channel, I have a lot more experience buying and cooking great steak.
Cheers!
The expiration date on the Walmart steak was the red flag there. They're trying to move their oldest steaks off the shelves to make room for fresh product. It might be worth digging around to see if they've got the newer ones in the very back of the cooler.
That's not specific to WalMart. Every single store will do the same.
@@MrMartinSchou Yep, British and can confirm, some of them are just more blatant about it than others, can't really blame them, because at the end of the day they're trying to get rid of that stock before it goes off but the smart shop managers put that stuff on offer to get rid of it instead of trying to be cheeky by moving it to the front and charge full price.
Am not American and don’t live in America but I think they do guga tried all the meats there and there was a very thin ribeye
that's how you move perishable products
I do that everytime I look for packaged meat.
HONESTLY, I will NEVER hate on Walmart steak. I literally buy a picanha from Walmart all the time (Once a week, for months already) and it’s always been absolutely delicious!!! I live in Chico California very up north of California so I don’t know if that makes a difference or what. But it’s always been amazing!
I like the fact that he is pointing out that you get better quality steak at a local store and it’s cheaper. Keep up the great work with your videos I would love to have a steak made by you For one reason you actually care about what you’re making
6:53 damn, thats exactly the product i need 😂
You and Angel cook steak the exact same way my grandmother did. Salt, pepper and garlic powder, red in the middle. It was probably her best recipe since it's what my Grandpa loved the most, but she's got a lot of good ones, and the best ones are all simpler than you'd expect. I love these types of videos, do a chicken fried cube-steak & gravy video sometime if you've never had it. It's very cheap and tender.
Guga: thin steaks are always bad
99% of all brazillians: and i took that personally
for real, these steaks are decently thick in my eyes like wottt
Man i would pay good money for the guga experience. Ive always loved steak, but Guga has brought a new appreciation for me to steak, and even my family and friends like the steaks i cook for them thanks to Guga!
Where I used to work which was at fry's they had Prime, Choice, and Wagyu even it was amazing to work there. their prices were actually pretty reasonable at one point their Wagyu was cheaper then the steaks you bought at Walmart funny enough. Although the Wagyu grade was fluctuating from A1 - A4 it was still good stuff.
Guga! Man from England here. I love the vids. You’ve single-handedly improved my steak cooking/eating experience. Couldn’t agree more, thicker is better. More over those that don’t "KNOW” you can give them any old steak. They see steak, they’re happy. Me… has to come from my butcher, thick, dry aged. Restaurant steaks make me sad now😢 Keep up the good work.
Costco is honestly the best top store to buy steaks from, value and quality are great. Great video as always Guga 🤝📈.
This is the right answer if you don't have a good local butcher. Don't like the ones cut at Costco, buy the whole thing and cut them yourself. You will save at least $2 a lb and usually a lot more.
Costco's whole pichana is unbeatable.
True for whole cuts but read my comment farther up on blade tenderizing at Costco.
Why would you even buy from a store ?
A butcher shop is always cheaper and better
I've tried steaks from everywhere. Costco wins hands down.
All three stores get their meat from Swift or national and one other when I can't remember that set the difference from store to store is actually how they cut the meat after it gets out of the package Whole Foods avoid the bandsaw except to cut through the bone everything else is hand-cut hand-trimmed just like Publix Walmart uses a band saw to cut their steaks you'd be surprised but just by taking care with the way that you process the meat once you take it out of the package makes that big of a difference also how they store the food contribute greatly
Hey Guga, just got some sous vide equipment for Christmas this year, cooked a few steaks tonight and the tenderness was amazing! Thanks for all the videos!
Hey Guga can we see a seasoning experiment? Season before the sear, after the sear, and then after the cook. 3 steaks seasoned at 3 different points, let's see how this goes!
Nice
I think he did that on this channel and the souse vide one as well
This man never runs out of content. Much love❤️
finally a video that is something i can relate to i could watch you guys going to popular stores and teaching us what to look for when buying meat.
im gonna guess guga's favorite restaurant is a local asian place thats why nobody will ever guess it
His favorite restaurant is long horn steak house
😂 he says he don’t order steak at Restaurants so maybe that’s not it 😂
@@MartinotheGreat nah, its 100% outback steakhouse.
I was gonna say the same!!
But he only orders the chicken or the fish 😂
Guga's favorite restaurant steak: Chili's. 🌶️🥩😏
Guga: 28 bucks thats not cheap
Me watching him cook thousands of dollars of waygu
It is expensive for such bad steaks
His favorite restaurant is his own back yard ,since everything he cooks has alot more flavor ,alot more fun and enjoyable
In my local supermarket, the steak is a whole horseshoe, wanna break your teeth - go for it.
I'm always feeling jealous of Guga cooking all those great steaks. 😅
In romania its bad too. We dont have a usda ranking system but if we would, they would be no grade. The filet mignon has the same marbeling (almost none) as steaks that are 40 50 dollars/ kg
@@marculetzc1366 same here in bulgaria
same in germany with local german cows, ZERO marbeling. I only buy imported stuff from US or australia which mostly turns out good but still not guga level
Get it online if you can. That’s what I’d suggest but I know that still can’t help everyone. I have pretty good selection here in stores but I do want to eventually get some stuff online.
I live in Texas so I always shop for my produce and meats at heb. They’re awesome!! Prime steaks. Even some American wagyu sometimes. Great stuff!!
You know Guga is all about the unlimited breadsticks at Olive Garden!!
That’s how they get ya. Bread fill you up faster.
@@ImFromIowa It's not a buffet though lol, they actually lose money if you fill up too fast, while buffets make money the quicker you fill up.
Has anyone guessed Guga's favorite restaurant yet? It's been two years
Imagine being the CEO of Wallmart and getting Guga in his recommended, going off on your steaks in the store 😁
I thing he would be laughing
CEO of of Walmart knows what those store steaks are already. He's probably surprised it took this long for Guga to show up for an experiment.
Walmart stock crashes 📉
@@rogermccaslin5963 probably isn't aware they sell steak
He makes 22 million a year. He doesn’t care.
Next time include Costco they have the best streaks and good prices
Isn't BJ a Costco by another
Costco Blade tenderizes its steak. Increases risk of E coli, hence why they have to recommend cooking to 160 F. Thus, if you do not like well done steak, better to avoid it.
Costco meat is garbage
wdym by best streaks?
You can always get the whole loin of meat that isn’t blade tenderized
In the movie Forrest Gump, we could replace BUBBA during the Shrimp recipes scene, by GUGA listing all Steak recipes
Yes 👏👏👏
walmart actually has prime strip and ribeyes now, in a blue package. theyre not as good as other prime steaks i've had, but theyre definitely a step up from choice, and theyre an inch and a quarter thick. they also run about $15 a steak, which really isnt bad.
It’s not bad for sure for the quality of steak. But I’ll definitely pay $20-$25 a pound for some real good prime steak.

Some Walmarts do carry prime and Australian wagyu depending on the location.
must be the worst quality wagyu ever
Man we don’t even have Australian wagyu in any stores and we’re in Australia there’s no way you would
@@union_4014 it's pretty good actually
I’ve only seen American wagyu at my Walmart
Only seen marketside "wagyu" in my Walmart. And those aren't even real wagyu
It's taco bell or KFC.
My Walmart has prime steaks. I know not every Walmart does, but mine does. Can't tell you why mine does though. I also have an HEB with prime steaks as well as a Costco, Whole Foods, and Fiesta Foods. There are also a few meat markets too. Out of all of them, Costco has the best steaks I have access to. Also, Costco is only slightly more expensive than Walmart. My only issue with Costco is the fact that it is a massive pain in the butt going there. The place is always packed. I end up spending 10+ minutes circling the parking lot with dozens of other cars looking for a spot. Then I have to walk a mile to back of the store after to get the steak to wait forever in a line to walk another mile back to my car. Sometimes I feel it is worth it, but usually not. I end up usually grabbing HEB which is about on the level as whole foods, just cheaper.
My biggest issue with Costco steaks is that they blade tenderize them all. That's why the package always recommends cooking to 165F.
Now, that being said, I've never had an issue with their meats, but if someone is very sensitive or immune compromised, they might want to go with another store that doesn't blade tenderize just to be extra safe.
Howdy fellow Texan!
My Costco cuts the cap off of the prime ribeye and sells it separately. Does yours?
@@jonschmidt1545 depends on what you ask for. If you want the prepackaged ones they have them separated, but you can ask for them together at mine.
We have a grocery store chain nearby called Market Basket which is generally perceived of as being for poorer people, but is one of the few places around here that has prime grade beef on display.
I'm sitting here trying to learn how to identify the best steak, wondering if we have Prime and Choice here in Sweden. Then I realize I'm eating macaroni with ketchup right now, meat is not an option either way.
Prime and Choice are terms that are used by the USDA, the United States Department of Agriculture, I’m not sure what Sweden has but they most likely have their own different method of categorizing steaks since all the ones used by Guga from grocery stores are all going to be from the US, hence USDA
We dont have any grading system in sweden for meat. There are stores that make their own gradings however. Like "Ica" (Swedish grocery store) has "Ica Select"which is steaks with better marbeling. Altho most of the time even those are not in the "Prime" range. Also all steaks in swedish grocery stores are thin. The ones we call thick here is what guga said was thin in this video. If you want to get ahold of good meats go to a local butcher or to a "Saluhall" and have someone cut the steak in front of you after you selected out what you want. Another good place to find good marbeled meat is "LIDL" belive it or not. They usually have very nice beef there.
Look out for angus beef and decent marbling. You dont need a grade at all to identify a good steak.
You should check out the channel TheWolfePit. He has tons of videos of good recipes on an extreme budget. Though he's in America so you might not have all the same stores.
Bro i feel you my ass always looking at the steaks lol, then i come home and eat a bowl of cereal or ramen
Guga going to Walmart be like:
*Bursts through the door* "ALRIGHT GUYS WHERE'S THE WAGYU A5?"
They have wagyu. Just not a5..hahahha
Everyone be like: Say the line guga
Guga: "A good amount of salt followed by freshly grounded black pepper and garlic powder"
I’m in dang Fort Worth, TX, home of one of the original stockyards. And it ain’t easy finding decent quality beef, y’all. Butcher shops are about $16/lb for choice, and $22+ for prime! That means a 1.5 inch ribeye costs over $20 each…
Feeling blessed that Kroger's has prime cuts available in single packs. Its pretty great and the prices arent bad
I’ve never seen prime at a Kroger but I’m going to triple check on my next trip. Fingers crossed.
Hey Guga! Love your channel. You’ve taught me a lot about how to make basic Walmart meat tasty.
You should do another episode of this with other grocery stores. Here’s a good list to go from on top of what you’ve done here:
Target
Sam’s Club
Costco
Grocery Outlet
Publix
Not from Florida, but i tried looking up a few from there besides nationwide chains!
Not me dying inside as guga trashes on the thickness of a steak that has to be at least twice as thick as the steaks i usually cook, lmao.
"Steak is not something you eat every day"
you don't KNOW ME!
Me too! I'm carnivore BBB&E
Beef bacon butter and eggs. 😋
RIP colon
@@Rahat-tw8vg lol
@@Rahat-tw8vg Not only his colon, but his arteries colored with fat.
Costco sells prime cuts. In my area the are always cut real thick, around 2 in.
Same, some of us dont have 4k to throw at a piece of beef lol
Would love to see Guga go to popular steakhouses like Peter Luger, smith and wollensky, etc. to see how he compares it to his steak
I think he already did the Peter Luger steak
Guga is using like- or better-quality meats and similar cooking processes but with more attention to detail, so there's no chance a steakhouse will make it better.
funny that you say popular when I've haven't heard of any of these restaurants lmaoooo
@@meesterbingbong5641 I mean, Peter Luger is an incredibly popular steakhouse.
@@meesterbingbong5641 Im from the other side of the world and i have heard of them. So they are popular to say the least.
5:11 "Thiccer is always better" wise words from the man himself.
a good restraurant to go to would be one in Texas called murphy's steakhouse it in a little town called winchester the steaks they make their are really good and the weight shown on the menu is the same after it has been cooked
I'm lucky, while the steaks at my local grocer are not prime, at least they sell angus.
If you figured out how to make the perfect steak, there's no reason to order it from anywhere. Guga knows his way with the steaks.
I’m gonna take a crack at it.
Guga’s favourite restaurant is his own restaurant.
Please do this again with steaks from Costco, Sam's club, and sprouts
I LOVE your videos!! I now live in Florida and reluctantly tried a Walmart steak… to my surprise, it was great!! DONT buy the cheap ones ( white styrofoam) but the black… and even better, the Blue Styrofoam are awesome!!!
5:11 That’s what he said.
Your channel is what got me into cooking, and experimenting with food! Much love from Texas🤙
Angel is awesome! The interplay between Guga and Angel is the most interesting part of the show. I love all the episodes he is on. Keep up the great work guys, awesome 👏
yes, do this again with the loin/skirt steak or even when they all have prime, should educate the viewers/buyers :)
That whole discussion about not ordering steaks at restaurants (bc they’ll be disappointed) made my steak and cheese subway sandwich a little more bland🥲
Subway steak bad whether you watched this or not lol
@@brandonlee8123 sorry only had $5 at the moment 😂
If you guys are ever in Vegas, there's a restaurant called Joe's Seafood Prime Steak and Stone Crab at Cesar's. I prided myself on making steaks better than any restaurant so I never ordered it. But my wife and I got some gift cards so I decided to try their steak. Boy was it an eye opener. I had the best rib eye I have ever had. It was so taste, juicy and perfectly cooked. It made me question my steak cooking abilities!
I'm a big steak guy and recently moved to vegas. I went to Joe's and had a ribeye myself. the ribeye is okay but the stone crab claws are unreal. I hear Bazaar meats in Vegas has the best steaks so I'm gonna try that next.
Great video as always Guga! Can you try to dry age a steak in caramel? Should be interesting lol, love from Norway.
I doubt it can be done because caramel that still a liquid must be in hot. It would cooked the meat
@@seijiren5115 Have you ever actully made caramel? depending on what kind of caramel you make you can get a hard caramel or something closer to a caramel sauce even when cold.
There is so many kinds of caramel.
I doubt aging beef in sugar would be edible.
@@Kampos94 tbh I never done it my self. I watch videos and saw melting carrmel before puting on a block or mix in pan
Thx for your info •^•
I'd like to see you have someone like angel cook and season the "bad" ribeye steaks, choice and select and then premium steaks like prime and wagyu, and cut them into bite sized pieces. Make about 20-30 pieces, 7-8 of each and have you attach which category each bite is from. I personally can''t tell a huge difference between them all...just curious how accurate you would be Guga. Of course the bites would be random and unknown to you.
Walmart steaks are hit and miss. I've had some that looked great but weren't and some that looked just okay but were very tender and flavorful. They do have thick cut ribeyes and prime ribeyes. You need to go when the shelves are full or catch someone to bring more from the back to give you a better selection.
The Neighborhood Market Walmarts generally have prime, but all of their steaks are ugly AF.
@@ubern3rd I don't go to those.
@@marcgarrett5427 Just figured I'd mention it, in case you miss out at the super centers.
0:20, directly northwest of Gugas elbow. You're welcome. Not just steak today boys.
My local grocery store, FoodCity, usually has prime steak. Until fairly recently I had never paid the extra for prime. Man I didn't know what I was missing. I went to Costco a few weeks back and tried their prime strip steaks and was amazed by the tenderness and flavor
We have food city here but no Costco nearby ☹
Since they thought it was so funny, my guess for Guga's favorite restaurant is Chipotle Mexican Grill. It must be something not only humorous but ironic as well.
I was going to say taco bell or chick-fil-a because it may be cheap food but it's tasty and at least they're consistent
Chipotle seems right. When I lived in the US, that was the closest to Brazilian food I could get in Maryland
Chipotle is Americanized Mexican food, not even close to Brazilian.
@@iblong9505 that's why I said "closest", not " identical "
11 months still no idea guga's fav restaurant
“It’s not what we used to around here” Lmfaaaaaoooooooooo 😂😂😂
Walmart by me has prime and wagyu. Both are still sliced on the thin side. I’d definitely say the wagyu ribeye was worth the $16 it costs.
I've been checking for wagyu at my walmarts but no luck, it's even getting harder to find choice ribeyes. About to stick to whole foods lol
@@dentyo5238 you can search each store near you on their webpage. If they carry them it will tell you how many are in stock before you make the drive. I’ve only found them in 2 stores near me.
Lol wagyu for $16
@@jackbFPS It's american wagyu lol not as good but better than the regular steaks you find.
@@dentyo5238 I know it is American wagyu, but how did you still find it for 16…small cut?
I think a Publix, Winn Dixie and save a lot would be a good choice in Florida. That would be awesome! Thank you for the entertainment and experiments! Love your work! Merry Christmas! 🥩
Publixs usually have a butcher but it seems they rarely have Prime, they can hold one for a customer if they ask ahead of time tho. Costco's in FL have prime and Waygu too (allegedly, I've never seen it in person only online lol).
KFC. Also, being in South Florida, you should've tried a steak from Publix. Next experiment should be Ribeye from Publix, Costco, and Sam's Club.
I'll agree that Walmart typically is not a place to get a steak, After a couple of disappointments and some 'cheapstake' flavor it just is not worth the let down that is coming from expecting a steak.
Guga’s favorite restaurant is the Cheesecake Factory. The variety of different dishes to choose from is out of the norm. Then come on the menu was freaking ridiculously huge.
Gugas favorite restaurant is hooters
That's what I'm thinking too
Guga seems like an Olive Garden type of guy. You should try dry aging Wal-Mart steaks
I think they are to thin to dry age ... maybe wet age
Gugas's favorite restaurant is McDonald's. Big Mac compound butter experiment was one is his earlier videos. He also has the body composition of a McDonald's frequenter!
