    LEON, SPAIN - Totally off the beaten path in the countryside of Spain is where you’ll fine
    Bodega El Capricho, one of the greatest single steak restaurants on earth. Jose Gordon's family raises their own oxen, much longer than typical commercial beef, and ages the meat to perfection. Sitting in an ancient cave wine cellars you will taste the best steak in the world!
    Friends in the video:
    Jeffrey Merrihue ( / xtremefoodies_ Thank you to Jeffrey for setting up this once in a lifetime experience)
    Kevin Chan ( / finediningexp )
    We arrived in León about mid morning ready to spend an entire day at Bodega El Capricho, learning about the world’s best beef. Jose Gordon first brought us around the farm, taking us to a variety of places where he raises a number of different breeds of oxen. They were no doubt the biggest cattle I’ve ever seen, giant and healthy, so beautiful - so gentle and yet so powerful. One ox he showed us was over 1600 kilos, literally the size of a rhinoceros.
    Next it was the tour of the processing facility where the meat is packaged and shipped. Seeing the best quality beef in the world all in one facility was amazing. What was also a highlight was tasting cecina, Jose’s signature beef which is salted and preserved in a cave for 4 years. The flavor was so intense and so delicious I almost couldn’t believe it.
    Finally we headed back to the restaurant for the full beef meal which was the full tasting menu. We started off slow and steady and progressed our way to the main event, the giant t-bone ox steak, aged for 180 days and grilled to absolute perfection. The meat was unlike any other steak I’ve ever had, the most intense beefy cheesy flavor I’ve ever had. Truly as Keven mentioned, every other steak will be flavorless after this one. Eating steak in a cave is one of the most memorable food experiences and Spanish food experiences I’ve ever had.
    What I loved about Jose Gordon is that throughout the process he truly treats his cows and oxen with respect. There’s no doubt you will find some of the best meat on earth at Bodega El Capricho.

    I thought we knew steak in Texas.. I thought the New Yorkers made it exquisite.. I thought the Japanese with their Kobe was the state of the art... But Jose, sir, what you have created here is the Holy of Holies. May your family and tradition live forever. If I ever go to Europe I would be honored to dine here.

    This Restaurant put Salt Bae to the cleaners, start of from the owner itself, a nice humble guy who know he is good and doesnt need to do all contortionism to satisfy the clients, from zero to 10 this restaurant definetely is a tenner and perhaps one of the best steak house I ever see, I'd rather spend the money flying to Spain to this restaurant than spend $1000 plus for a steak at Salt Bae, thanks for sharing, amazing !!! 😋😋👌🏻

      It has a simple reason mate, because the elaboration is probably the most important point in the mayority of the gastronomies, but here the quality of the product is the key, and this quality products can only be found in Spain

    • @rujeri
      @rujeri ปีที่แล้ว +17

      @@omroru3089 It's just a matter of marketing. E.g. Italian food bc of italians-americans, has reached the whole US with cheap and easy-to-do products (pizza and pasta) + promoted Italy image as the main mediterranean cuisine through movies etc. during decades. Spain didn't have such a marketing and international presence. It's now that people starts to now about it bc of top chef awards and tourism. It's just 'country brand' is so unfair. E.g. Most of olive oil in the world is spanish, main and top producer. However italian brands have the power in the market, so they absorb spanish companies, and sell spanish oil as italian. Let alone the wine...

    Have watched so many of your videos but this one may be my personal fav. Loved watching the love and respect given to the animals before they're butchered. Having raised our own family hens, I know how big of a difference it makes in the taste when an animal is actually treated well and respected before being consumed. The taste of factory farm meats has nothing on family/locally raised meats. Beautiful video!

    I've watched a lot of these "worlds best food" videos from various channels, and I always thought people were over reacting for the camera, when every bite is just "soooo good". But then I had the opportunity to eat some Wagyu A5 ribeye. I had 2 good bites. (for roughly 50 bucks, but still) It's not an act. Food like this can literally stop you in your tracks. You are a lucky man
