In my younger days I my all time favorite restaurant in the world served a 3-4lb T-bone. I could eat it and all the fixin's. So thick it took 45 minutes for medium rare. Best steak I've ever eaten. Anywhere. No doggie bags!46XiJCAB said:El Gaucho story. Couldn’t finish off the ribeye, waiter says he will box up. Sends a kid to take it back. We’re set to go and I say, no to go box?
Kid lost it. Manager comes over and apologizes. Ask if they can prepare another or get one to prepare myself. I go for option two. Chef comes out with steak boxed up and gives me cooking instructions.
All good. -

The smoked old fashioned is solid. If they have the Osso Bucho on the menu in the Couv, get that too. Can't go wrong with their signature salad with gorganzola cheese either.46XiJCAB said:
Sounds like she made a sound business decision. We’ve never had a bad meal there. My teens love the place.PurpleThrobber said:
Twigs is a pretty amazing growth story. Started as essentially a little place in a tucked away strip mall off N. Division in Spokane in about 2002'ish. Nothing like their restaurants today. Essentially a coffee shop that served food. Nothing fancy at all. Added another location on S. Regal which did pretty well -got a little too upscale and then they fine tuned it and added a space in Riverpark Square in maybe 2008 or so. After the first couple locations, the founder divorced her husband (or vice versa) and took up with another guy who put it on steroids. Restaurants in WA, OR, ID and UT - and i think they may have just opened in TX.46XiJCAB said:
The Vancouver waterfront is going to be amazing when it’s fully completed. Just had lunch at Twigs Bistro today. Can’t wait for El Gaucho to arrive.MikeDamone said:
El Gaucho is coming to the Vancouver waterfront. Vancouver is going to take a big bite out of Portland’s ass in the next decade.WestlinnDuck said:
Have the wife's birthday coming up. Usually head to downtown Portland and have a great steak at either El Gaucho or the Ringside. Went to El Gaucho in July this summer for our anniversary and although the meal was fine, the death vibe of the downtown overshadowed the whole experience. Will find a place in burbs and take it from there. Maybe head to Bos Taurus in Bend and hope I don't run into Snow.Sledog said:So open stores with tax money so ANTIFA can burn them down? Great plan!
The gal who founded Twigs was a looker as I recall. Boned one of her divorcee' friends back when the Throbber was getting over v1.0.

Medium on a rib eye works. Not a sin. I’m really only committed to fight for med rare on prime rib and filet. I don’t really care on other cuts. But no ketchup. That’s for pot roast.Pitchfork51 said:
Someone has almost convinced me that Ribeyes are better medium than medium rare.MikeDamone said:
Probably put ketchup on their steak too. AnimalsWestlinnDuck said:
Lot's of tourists and business travelers at the high end Portland places. They gone. Our Des Moines headquarter people f'ing loved El Gaucho. But they ordered their steak medium to medium well and had a Bud Light. To each his own.Pitchfork51 said:Who the fuck is gonna open when everyone with money is working remote and they get robbed every day
Due to the amount of fatty goodness it fully renders at medium
I'm not saying I got mine on Tuesday medium...but I could be convinced to try a blind taste test -
Man versus Food, Man wins. Totally, unrelated damn I mess Bourdain even though he was a semi-commie. Maybe best Travelogue ever.

Not my meatloaf. It’s slow smoked with a tangy bbq glaze. No ketchup, but extra bbq sauce is allowed.greenblood said:

El G in Portland was better when they had the cigar room.
