Steakhouse Rules, Explained 

do it everyday...and see how you feel....lol.

Me too

+Caged Lemp 1. Dress in a suit. 2. Order the cheapest bottle of wine. 3. Don't order the seafood platter. I guess?

+Caged Lemp Yeah, like the "wear a suit" tip is valid for anything you might do. Might as well said "take a shower, don't smell like a bum"...

+Caged Lemp If you watch other episodes of his show, many times you'll feel the same way

yeah buy a char broil $178 infared grill and buy your own steaks when sales start save up your money and buy in bulk and freeze until you need it. screw $100 for a few slices of meat. and the wine grow your own grapes, or any type of fruit buy wine yeast and sugar follow a creditworthiness l creditable wine recipe and the wine will be better than the bitter crap at the store

You sound bitter

You only get a Mallard reaction when ordering duck!! See what I did, there?

"Mallard reaction" is hard to find in a steakhouse. Think you're looking for a joint that serves duck.

I didn't see any duck.

my rules for a steakhouse - Step one: eat steak. done

Comments like yours are kind of sad. Some men just weren’t raised around steakhouses. What about the college student on a dinner interview lined up with his potential new boss that found this information? Loosen up, dude.

@@TheEndofZombieShakespeare depends on the boss, some bosses like it when you're focused enough on your work to not let such a simple thing as a dinner rattle you in the interview. And it makes for good workplace socialization, you have to be approachable.

Thank you.

@@JorgeCanovas In this situation, the boss is senior, so the college student should just follow his lead. If the student puts on a suit for the first time ever, and orders a cocktail for the first time ever, and tries to navigate a wine list for the first time ever, he's going to make mistakes. In this situation, the boss needs to be 100% in charge.

“Welcome to Applebee’s”

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Or, ask for ketchup!

@@misplacedcajun2325 🤣🤣🤣☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾

Truer words never spoken. One day that janitor could be the CEO.

Amen!

That’s just basic human decency

This rule doesn’t work if you hunt CEOs for sport as I do.

who said that

haHAHAHAHhahaha

its kind of useless information just go in and order

@@jacurururur8848 exactly!

You’ve obviously never been to LA

I’ve seen worse... but it’s close.

If you aren't worth spending your earnings on, who is? Enjoy life, congratulate yourself, and eat & drink well!

brassmonkeyjew I have a mortgage in Southern California, doesn't mean you can't treat yourself to a nice dinner.

Those places age their steaks. That is why the steaks costs a lot

You also can be a steakhouse regular ... eating your 'porterhouse for 2' alone at your regular table- as the wait staff talks about you.

I don't think the camera was holding itself

@Guy Tango I don't speak Spanish... Too easy, I couldn't resist.

Woah this is so true My family visit a particular steakhouse every week, and my father always tips them, it wasn't much but still appreciated. After like 3 months, there was one time I just came back from school, 4pm, wearing my uniform, and nobody got a problem. Another customer complained about me, and the waiters and waitresses calmly explain "they are our regulars, and the young man just had a rough day". Now I know why my father says that the tips are to respect their line of work, coz now my father also earns their respect.

Being industry folk helps too. 😁

@@surm7055 Complaining about what someone is wearing is a major douchebag move anyways

This place don't let you in with flip flops

So is this comment

This fookin guy here lol

LOL!

Literally it’s makes me cringe

factual

I wonder how many times when the waiter offers an expensive seafood tower, the customer takes it. never, because no waiter would offer the most expensive item. this video is pure set up. pish

Yeah, this guy’s videos suck.

I see you are the type to wear flip flops

+oregonnich Inst that what resturants are and how it started? also NO ONE will keep me from food, im paying you better serve me.

You have to be professional In everything food related with these restaurants 😪

+oregonnich perfect summary

+oregonnich thats basically all of nyc... including me. And i dont mind being called out AT ALL haha

Believe it or not, people go those places to have a fine meal. You're just so fucking focused to find defects on people. All restaurants treat you well for your money. Go a place like this regular enough and have some chat with waiters, they too will like you. I mean, that's a figure of speech, nobody would problably like you, but you get the point I guess.

futwanderers go for it. You’re rich

futwanderers Don’t leave any meat on it.

Its for your dog at home

Don't neglect the balls

You and your mother ask very similar questions...

+William Cavanaugh You mean that's the wrong answer right?

vlabato taravi YES

+Food For Net ordering an inexpensive bottle on a well-curated wine list is a fine tip

In a nutshell, dress well for better service, don’t order the expensive starters, order the cheapest wine bottle, no need to dip steak with sauce

Step one: have money.

Lol. What's the whole point of your statement? Stay at home then. Nobody cares.

@@Vic82toire go watch cnn

Some people watch these videos then "punch the air" 😣

+Liberty1776 I was thinking the same thing. That's how I like my steak to be cooked but it is definitely medium rare.

Liberty1776 its rare it just looks medium because of the aging

Me too, that’s the way I like it Medium Rare, that was it. That shirt & tie said “I keep this tie in my office in case I need it.”

Weird how the Filet looked closer to rare than the strip, the filet cooks much faster

It's actually medium 😭

They are definitely being harsh. This thing helped me greatly as a young man. Do these people not know there are droves of young men that grew up NOT frequenting steakhouses? So disappointing, this comment section 🤦‍♂️

someone hasn’t been to a wine tasting with a bunch of pretentious douchebags

Tanglee squid you're gross

No you dumbshit. There is no right or wrong Seriously there is nothing more pathetic than getting butt hurt and elitist about how someone likes their slab of beef

@@abdullahahmad4239 I agree my very special muslamic friend

Absolutely, ordering an expensive steak and making it above medium would be like eating flip flops!

Knew this dude who'd get it well done and burnt. With mustard. Emphasis on knew.

Not eating somewhere where a steak is $100 is good advice.

Very True.......

False, a Porterhouse for two at $100 is a good deal in a great steak house. If you just want to eat a steak to say you had steak, sure go to Applebees. But if you want a great steak, with great wine and cocktails, amazing ambiance and service, you get what you pay for. Out here is Southern California, I do Mastros, and it never disappoints!

Or go to a good butcher shop yourself and cook it at home? That 99$ steak could be 30-50$ depending where you get it and if you do it well, you can be sure it'll be just as good. Only time I wouldn't do it myself is dry-aged.

NekronX20 I enjoy doing my own steaks at home as well. Steakhouses are for a special occasion, or just dinner in the city, maybe taking a client to dinner. Money well spent in a good one.

+Galactic123 Mid-Atlantic?

+Cha4k haha nice. You can tell he's not committed to the accent enough for it to work.

+Galactic123 Just sounds like a British guy who has developed an American accent

+Galactic123 Jewish from the UK?......

+Galactic123 I have a friend from London who's been here for 18 years. The American creeps in after some time. Look up Lauren Cohan, the actor who plays Maggie from the Walking Dead. She has a very distinct mix of American and British in her accent.

You just added a post script to the douchiest video on RU-vid.

Fillet has its place. Sandwiches. Stroganoff and similar. For children as an entry point to the steak experience and very old as little chew and fat to choke on But never ever on a steak dinner for adults.

+Madhav Krishnan You may have been told that you have a posh accent but did anyone tell you your grammar is garbage? And how so is his 'voice' pretentious? Ever heard of a Mid-Atlantic accent?

+kamma44 I have heard such an accent. However Nick Solares is from the UK. Its a British accent. That in and of itself is not an issue, but his voice adds a quality which is which annoyed me. P.S. No they have not. How about you?

Madhav Krishnan Being from, or having lived in, the UK forms part of having a Mid-Atlantic accent. The other part is having lived or spent considerable time in the US. No. I proof read and draft legal documents. My grammar is satisfactory.

Tom Hardy's Eastend accent at Peaky Blinders sounds more elite than this chap's semi-american british

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@mrmaunz42 he proved it by ignoring you after genuis

Sommelier?

+SainnQ servers in high end establishments are salespeople whose livelihood depends on a percentage of meal and beverage totals. seafood expires. when one's manager tells one to push the seafood, one complies. also, you're not just tipping the server, you owe gratuity for wine steward, table steward, bartender, and maitre d. in an upscale joint, 40% or better is not unusual. if one does not have the means to afford fine dining, and tip generously, one should find a good butcher and learn how to cook.

+Simon Beaulieu Not only that; why is it the customers job to make sure the waiters have a livelyhood? We are not employing them, the restaurant is. In most (if not all) european countries; the waiters are only tipped if they performed properly, or if the diners had an outstanding experiences. It rewards ''that little extra'', but, importantly, does not expect it. A proper, normal service, requires no 'tips' if the customer isn't comforable with it. Why not? Because the bloody restaurant pays their staff enough to live of off... America has got it all backwards, as it does with so many things.

EraChanZ SainnQ Simon Beaulieu You don't live, work, or dine in most [if not all] european countries, so moaning about how it's better elsewhere is ridiculous. Most [if not all] european countries have national health and considerably higher taxes. You live, work, and dine here and should act accordingly. Proper normal service here in the states requires a tip. You surely are aware that most [if not all] servers [according to current state and municipal statute] earn less than $4 hourly from their employer. If or when that changes... if or when your dining bill increases by 2x or 3x so that establishments can afford to produce quality product, and pay servers a living, and turn a profit, what will be your comment? That restaurant and those servers are there for one reason: to make money... not to make your life better for free or supply your dining experience with "that something extra" without being compensated. Did you think you were getting "that something extra" because service industry workers like you? No. Service industry workers produce "that something extra" for those who tip generously. Those are the patrons servers like. When the bellman or cabin steward brings your bags to the room the hand is out. You tip. When the delivery arrives, you tip. If you can't or won't tip for service, you can't afford service. If you can't or won't tip generously, you're just an ass. Beware returning to a restaurant where you have dined without tipping. Those servers know you and are instructing the kitchen to ruin and pollute your food in filthy and disgusting but not obvious ways. And filthy, disgusting non-tipping diners deserve it. When you are seated at a servers' table you are employing them, in the same way they are using their skills in the service industry to earn your money. You don't want to pay $100 for a meal, and you don't want to tip. Those who cannot deal with the reality that service requires tipping shouldn't be dining out. Most [if not all] servers don't want those like you at their tables anyway... so, you should patronize fast- or fast casual establishments or stay home and learn to cook.

SainnQ The server pushed the seafood because management instructed them to. Shellfish expires. Items need to sell. Yes, the seafood tower would increase the total bill and the tip because it's based on that percentage. But when a server offers a fish special, that is not the motivation. Specials are based on moving what is in the restaurant's inventory prior to spoilage.

+paul pecena Regarding your first response : No.

You need to ask the waitress to ass slice the steak

I know you posted this a year ago but I work as a server at a fine dining steakhouse and I always ask. “Would you like that sliced or not sliced?”

@@Bhristopher755 Thank you, that's actually very helpful!

+Roman C You don't have to be rich...

When it's our last day in NY, and we go back to Florida they have giving us a free dinner..They do give me free drinks, now and then...Been going there for years..

+ladiesman8521 dressing down does take much away from the impression you project to those around you. someone with an inane screen name like ladiesman should already understand this

+paul pecena That's an ad-hominem reply...if you are paying 100$ for a meal you should be allowed to dress in sweatpants

honestly couldn’t care what some posh waiter thinks about me
