My new hero is Mark Schatzker, “a man whose love of steak began at the age of six, under the tutelage of his father, and who just spent nearly three years traveling the world in search of the world’s finest meat.” Three years. To find a good steak. Rock on, dude.
Go check out this interview at The Globe and Mail. Then get on over to Alderspring Ranch, the place with Schatzker’s favorite. The ribeye is over $40 per pound — [cue Joey Lawrence voice] Whoah! — but the London Broil is $10 / lb.
Hmm … A quarter is only $7.30 / lb. How much room do I have in the freezer?
BIG IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Will any of you be in the Cleveland area this Saturday, May 22nd? I’d like to do a meetup, either at a restaurant or maybe around the grill in my backyard. Leave a comment or send me an email at meetup@cooklikeyourgrandmother.com to tell me if you’re interested.
Want more like this? For more recipes like this, that you can hold right in your hands, and write on, take notes, tear pages out if you want (Gosh, you're tough on books, aren't you?) you might be interested in How To Cook Like Your Grandmother, 2nd edition, Illustrated.

A meetup sounds great, but I won’t be in Cleveland this weekend. Or anytime soon. But I do go to northeast Ohio to visit family once or twice a year. So, I’ll keep my eyes open for another opportunity.
Oh, and I love me an awesome steak! Especially when served next to a salad with my homemade blue cheese dressing. Nom.
Yum. Steak. This weekend is Hessler St. Fair, but I might be interested in a meetup. More interested if the little people are also welcome…
Laura, ordinarily I’d love to have them, but ours are spending the night at the grandparents’, so we’re planning a grown-ups night.
Oh, the beef. THE BEEF. As soon as Beloved gets home I’m smacking him down in front of that website and we are SO going to be buying some beef, bones and fat. Thank you!!!!!
I don’t know what he has planned for Saturday, but I’ll ask him about the meetup and email you if we can make it.
Well, fiddle de dee… Much as I’d love to join you… it’s a bit far from Delaware! I drove it once from DC (on business) and it took 9 hours! So, long story short, I can’t make it… [sigh]
