last night we went to "the butcher shop" in sandton mall. the mall is pretty close to where we are staying now and the restaurant came highly recommended by our hotel. in truth we had tried to go to an african music/dance show but when we got there we found out it was cancelled. we were already out and hungry hence why so we were spared yet another night in the lounge at the hyatt.
this place was a meat lovers dream...they had a huge meat counter and cooler after cooler of hanging beef and game. i've said before that south africans don't mess around when it comes to grilled meats and our experience here only furthered this belief.
i chose the t-bone (above)...mainly because at home the wife only grills fillet and with the t-bone you get the tender fillet side and and the tastiness of a sirloin. it was pretty darn good. the wife got the fillet, shocker i know.
our dear frenchmen went for the steak tartar. in atlanta (excluding flip) when we've ordered tartar it is an appetiser and usually a slightly thicker version of beef carpaccio. not here...here you get a huge pile of raw ground beef with a raw egg on top...
i love meat and all but that was too much for me. the wife on the other hand loved it...
