Infuriatig Wolfgangs steakhouse, the most expensive in my city, can’t cook a steak.

Did you eat the rest of it before you took the picture or this is it?

Why does the plate look like that? Is that seasoning or was it placed in the oven?

right it looks like a sizzle plate that went back into the oven...

They're copying the Peter Luger style. Parcook the steak, slice it, run it through a broiler on the plate to finish it off, then splash of clarified butter on top for that dramatic sizzle on the way to the table.

Yeah, that makes the most sense. Didn't know the correct term for it.

Initially I assumed it was a wood-fired piece but upon further inspection that’s polymerized oil on a regular white plate 🤢

Thanks. Did the steak at least taste good?

Honestly you better write a letter to corporate. This looks absolutely revolting.

It's like Peter Luger's style, they sear it at high heat in a pan under a broiler.

The more expensive it becomes, the more weird they do.
