€42 sirloin steak, Rathgar, Dublin

[u/enter_the_wu]

€42 “9oz” black Angus sirloin, caramelised onions, pepper sauce. Spuds and sprouts not included. I appreciate restaurants are struggling at the moment, but Jesus Christ. Would you be happy paying that amount for this plate of food?

Well I was talking about this meal, not Michelin in general, if that was ambiguous. Yes the Michelin skills can be amazing.

One steak is easy to cook. What about multiple steaks and multiple cuts along with chicken and fish and all the garnishes. Then do it 10hours in a hot, loud kitchen with multiple timings. People really don't appreciate what a chef goes through. Steak is easy.. cmon.

Cool, keep that head in the sand

What you are now describing is not great cooking but normal cooking. You could say the same about an omelette, hard to cook well all the time, but difficult in a restaurant environment. Not really. It shouldn’t be.
