But as we live in the city that makes the lazy, my wife and I often tend to just say "meh!" and run for the door, usually to the next best restaurant that doesn't scream ... BANKRUPTCY! But sometimes we like treating ourselves for something a little bit more fancy.. more juicy... a nice piece of meat! Yes that's right you vegetarians and vegans out there! We eat that cow!
As the world has it, I learned about my steak addiction in a Chicago Grill.. in Dubai.. called Uno. Nothing strange about that! In actual fact, it became our absolute favorite restaurant after having visited said place almost every week for over 3 years... we'd even just walk in, sit down and wait - the food would come, by itself! Unordered. By a waiter named Kyle who'd address us by name! Gosh I loved that place! ...
Yes.. I said "loved"... past tense! It's over! We broke up! Majeigh and I knew our favorite steak so well, that we noticed the day they changed their supplier! Shame on you Uno, shame on you! The meat started tasting different, was not as tender and didn't have this juicy medium - rare center anymore! but we still went there... they even expanded, now they have outlets in three malls.
Until ... that day! We walked through Dubai Festival Center (city, I have no idea!) were hungry .. and saw this place. It seemed nice from the outside. And after a first look into the menu it also seemed nice on the inside! We decided to try it. It's Australian, it's red and it's called Outback... I know, pretty simple!
We ordered the "New York Strip" the first time we ate there, but quickly discovered, that we prefer the rib eye they make. It comes seasoned with ... Seasoning.. and it's as tender as if the chef was pounding that 12oz steak with a tenderizer for 5 days in a row! it didn't taste 5 days old tough, it tasted as if there was a cow in the kitchen... waiting to provide for that medium-rare piece of heaven... sorry, I tend to get a little carried away.
Seriously though! If you are vegetarian and you need some time off killing all those innocent vegetables, Outback is the perfect place to convert from being a vegetarian to being a carnivore. That juicy red piece of meat, with it's delicious seasoning, served along with a creamy peppery pepper sauce.... is seriously not to be missed!
I hope I didn't offend anyone with this post, and if I did, my deepest apologies, now carry on complaining about how long the que is at the passport control, while I use my e-gate card.
Until next time, Game on!
