Thanks Dalstrong for sponsoring this video.
Today I am going to show you guys my experience dining in Salt Bae's restaurant. Here we go.
Nick. -Yo.
Holy $1,200 for two people?
-When I saw that price i almost had a heart attack.-There are four of us sitting right
here if we get the gold covered rib cap for four it is one thousand seven hundred fifty dollars.
-Best cut in the house I can't lie to you. -Is it? -It is, it is. -So you recommend the rib cap.
-I do. -You're just saying that because I'm paying. -That's right. Yeah i would not say it any other way.
Right after that the drinks arrived. Nick ordered the Moscow.
That thing was on fire and they serve it to you with a paper straw.
You got a little bit of fire and everything Nick you don't play around, Is that a
paper straw. -It's a paper straw with a fire dangerous. -I like to live on the edge Angel.
A few minutes after the $2 ,000 steak arrived and it was not what we expected. For 2 grand
I gotta say I thought it would be way bigger. Right after the tomahawk arrived.
That was rare even though we ordered medium rare. Now there's nothing wrong with rare steak but if
you order medium rare you should get what you paid for. The gold steak was cooked perfectly
though, thank god because it was not cheap. Now the funny thing was as soon as I tried
everyone including the manager, the waiter, the chef were all waiting for my reaction, so the
pressure was on. But I gave them none I will say this, is it the best steak I've ever had?
Now overall here's what I thought about Salt Bae's restaurant. Is the restaurant beautiful? Yes it is.
Was the service good? No it's actually amazing one of the nicest and friendliest servers I've
ever met. That i'll give a 10 out of 10. Now the biggest question is; was this worth it? Well instead
of talking about it let me show you. It's my turn. And these are the steaks i'm gonna be using for
today's cook. They do not cost two thousand dollars each. They are one and a half inches thick they
have great marbling on them and to be specific an australian wagyu marbling score seven.
To season them I kept it real simple, a good amount of salt, followed by freshly ground black pepper and
garlic powder. And obviously always season on both sides. But hey we cannot just eat steaks by itself
we gotta have a side dish and I'm making one that looks extremely expensive, take a look. And to
make it it's super easy and here's how. Everything starts off by boiling some eggs to be specific 14
minutes this will give me a hard-boiled egg which is exactly what I'm looking for. Once the time was
up I immediately took it out of the water and put it in an ice bath. However first we gotta separate
the egg whites from the yolk .There's a hard way to do it and an easy one. If you use a spoon it's
just a nightmare. The best way is to squeeze it and pull it out just like this. As you can see in the
end it is super easy to separate. Now to make the filling. Into a food processor I threw in all of
the egg yolks, followed by mayo, sour cream, dijon mustard, a little bit of sriracha, and finished
it off with salt, followed by freshly ground black pepper. Covered everything up and blend everything
together. For presentation purposes I'm putting it in a piping bag. Now the next step is to get
the egg whites fully breaded. First into the flour and remove all of the excess, followed by the egg
wash, and finish it off with panko bread crumbs. So I went ahead and did all of them the only thing
left is to go ahead and deep fry it. I kept the temperature at 350 degrees fahrenheit went ahead
and fry them up until every single one of them was nicely golden brown. I mean take a look it is just
perfect to make it even better I also fried up some prosciutto. I only fry them up for about 30
seconds, The only thing left now is to put it all together. So first I added the filling into the
eggs, followed by pieces of prosciutto right on top. For some coloring and flavor I added some chives.
But hey we are trying to make this look expensive so a little bit of gold dust right on top. The gold
dust costs nothing, adding this much is less than a penny. But hey in the end I was left with this,
the most beautiful and elegant side dish I've made so far. The big question is, does it taste
better than it looks? Well we're about to find out real shortly because remember we still gotta
cook those beautiful steaks. But not only that we need to use this; gold leaf. Exactly what Salt Bae
uses on his restaurant. As you can see it's almost 24 karat it is $8.69. We will be wrapping one steak
completely with it and we're gonna find out if this is really worth it or not. Because we're gonna
be having one as a control and our second steak completely filled up with gold leaf. Because now
that I have everything ready the only thing left to do is to go ahead and grill them. I'll first
be putting a nice beautiful sear then cooking them in indirect heat until I reach an internal
temperature of 135 degrees fahrenheit and for that I'll be using my wireless thermometers.
So now i say it is enough talking and it is time to grill these beautiful steaks. So let's do it!
[rock music]
Does that look good or what? And before moving forward I want to thank today's sponsor Dalstrong.
There's something to be said about the perfect knife. The perfect knife is the
one that you can afford. Even before Dalstrong sponsored any of my videos I use them for a reason.
They are not only great quality but they are priced correctly. Take a look at the background.
I love Dalstrong now like everything you gotta have the right tool for the right job. Take
this one for example it is perfect for chopping vegetables and that's what I like to use it for.
This is the butcher's knife and used to be one of my favorite knives for absolutely everything.
However, nowadays I use it more for whenever I'm slicing big cuts of meat, the curvature right here
just makes the job a lot easier. This one is the slicer currently my favorite knife to use for
steaks. Yes for steaks! Even though it's nice and big it allows me to cut steaks to perfection. You
must have a slicer, and this one from the shogun series is just perfect. And with hundreds of knives
in their arsenal Dalstrong has one that will fit your needs, I guarantee you. So if you are ready to
get quality professional and most importantly affordable knives, check out the link on the
description click on it, and go get yourself some. Because I promise you, you will not be disappointed,
I wasn't. Thank you Dalstrong for sponsoring this video but now it's time to get right back to it.
All right everybody here we got our beautiful feast. What do you guys think? -I think you put in
maximum effort on this dish and the presentation of it and minimal effort here.
This looks like uh you got this at Walmart and this looks like I don't even know, it it looks
like Gordon Ramsay shipped it to you. -Maybe. -It looks amazing. -Maybe you're right maybe
you're wrong. Well let's let's find out which one tastes better. It's all about the taste yeah? -It's
about nothing else. -Are we starting here? -No we're gonna start with this one from Walmart yeah?
All right and then did you guys see the side dish? -It looks so good. -I wanna, I wanna frame it and put
it in my house. -Big shout out to Sony that dude can cook. This is quite incredible and I'm waiting for
you here sonny so we can make a video together. All right enough talking are you guys ready? I'm
very ready. -All right let's go right here please dig in Leo. -Walmart steaks it is. -Oh Walmart yes.
-Now we got a very simple presentation here. -Doesn't look like Walmart when you look at it close.
-You know. -It doesn't look like Walmart. -I was about to say this Walmart's steak is pretty damn tender.
I'm not gonna lie guys. -Let me know how you taste yeah. -I hope I don't eat my words.
All right well let's find out right now. Cheers everybody. -Cheers!
Oh [ __ ]. -That Walmart steak is real good everybody. -That's not Walmart that's not
Walmart right there. -What do you guys think? 10 out of 10 would recommend. -I, I completely regret
calling this steak a Walmart steak. You better Emilio is going to be real pissed at you. -Oh no!
-It is fair to say that never judge a book by its cover. You guys agree? -Couldn't agree more. -I agree.
-This one is my bad. -So that was really fantastic now we're going to go to this steak
right here let's go for it. -No let's do this. -Oh let's do the side dish? -It's in the middle. -Oh it's in the middle
yeah the jewel grab the jewel. Can you guys tell what this is? -It looks like uh like a baked potato
almost. -It's not trust me grab it. -Oh my god it even has a little bit of gold on it. -Yeah it does.
You got to put the gold everybody today is a fancy day that's all I can say about that. -That's exactly
what I was gonna say today is a fancy day. -The wonderful thing about that gold is only cost
me five bucks, so that's good. -Some cheap gold. -Yeah that's right. Yeah cheers everybody, -Cheers.
-Oh wow. -Wow -Wow. -Triple wow everybody. That is amazing. -Super delicious. -The flavors
just pop right out at you. The first thing that hits me the crunchiness of
the actual skin and now that I bite it I can taste that it's an egg. -Yeah of course a deviled egg.
by the way. Here's the deal usually when you have deviled egg it's just one texture
and by deep frying the crust of the egg it makes it nice and crunchy, and then a little
bit of that prosciutto, it's not bacon by the way, on the top it's just perfect. It's a very,
very nice egg. You guys ready for the real deal? Let's go. Let's go for the real deal. -I thought this was
gonna be a bad steak, I thought this is gonna be an amazing steak which does look like an amazing
steak, but now I'm worried. -All right let's give this a try and let you guys know cheers. -Cheers.
It's a nice steak it's very delicious. -It's good but it's like the same.
It's the same as that one. -You know I'm with Angel on this you know. This one is presented a lot more
beautifully has gold on it but I can't taste the difference. -This is like when you eat with
your eyes. -What did I say everybody? You see you heard it from them not for me. That's the results
the gold does absolutely nothing. -Not at all it makes zero percent difference. -But what does
makes a difference is that now you guys owe me twenty five hundred dollars for the meal. Payout.
-Angel, angel that's our ride. -Oh Guga thank you, thank you.
-Come on!
