We will have a selection of bottled wines available, I am sure there will be something agreeable, I will check which house wine Beefeater use as they also pour it out a box / carton. As I said, I'm not a huge wine fan but I will enlist the help of a few friends who are, right now the building work is "crawling along", it looks like another 4-5 weeks at their current rate of progress.

Are you going to have cracked pepper, salt and worceshire sauce?

Yes, Yes & Yes ! We will have salt & pepper mills on the table..... grind it fresh! My friend raves about "Kampot pepper" from Cambodia, hopefully I can have that available as well as standard black pepper corns.

 

Worcestershire sauce, French, Dijon & English mustard etc available (maybe on the table or on request depending on room).

Good luck with the new Steak House.

Will definitely try it on my next trip.

 

You seem to be aiming at the quality end of the market.

Why not make the best burger in town?

IMO this need not involve expensive fresh-ground steak.

Even in McD or B. King's dire product, the meat part is usually OK.

It's the rest of it that's crap, especially the wet, tasteless sesame seed buns.

 

My suggestion is to use toasted British or German style brown / granary / multiseed buns.

The whole thing should not be drenched in ketchup to make a soggy mess.

English mustard or horseradish sauce should be placed under the meat.

This will prevent the salad stuff on top going soggy.

I have tried all this at home, using ordinary supermarket burgers, and it tasted great :)

 

If all this sounds familiar to some readers,

I have whinged about it at length on the Restaurant burger thread.

 

Hope this helps your efforts with the new Steak House.

Our priority is to ensure we serve "perfect steaks" every single time. Burgers, Ribs & Mexican food will "feel the love" but I want to nail the steaks.

There is a world of difference between English and German buns (and bread for that reason) and it has nothing to do with white or brown, but with spongy or solid.

their ≠ there ≠ they’re; theirs ≠ there’s; your ≠ you’re; its ≠ it’s; whose ≠ who’s;

bearback ≠ bareback; loose ≠ lose; too ≠ to; wander ≠ wonder; then ≠ than;

men ≠ man; women ≠ woman; know ≠ now ≠ no; quiet ≠ quite; site ≠ sight;

except ≠ accept; of ≠ 've; waist ≠ waste; sure ≠ shore; etc. (et cetera) ≠ ect.

Mont Clair is the cheapest of the bunch; the Italian Merlot in two-litre bottles is slightly better.

Chilean Casillero del Diablo Merlot is 699 baht a bottle at Villa Market (if not sold out), which is a bargain, not for Europe, but for Thailand.

Agreed Duvel. I just want the bun to taste of something.

My preference would be English, but German bread seems more available in Patts.

 

My original idea, as expounded on the burger thread, was a "build your own burger" joint.

Subway does it for sandwiches, so why does no-one do it for burgers?

That way the customer would get a choice of buns, sauces, salad etc.

 

I'm guessing Ian doesn't want to turn his Steak House into a burger joint though :)

Fresh dinner rolls and quality butter a must!

We will be serving the burgers in a "Kaiser bun", similar the that Firehouse in Bangkok offer  (http://www.austro-pro.com/), but your right we are first and foremost a steak house.

Chilean Casillero del Diablo Merlot is 699 baht a bottle at Villa Market (if not sold out), which is a bargain, not for Europe, but for Thailand.

Thanks, I will check both of those out.

The ceiling will have 22 LED lights & the pillars / columns'll we use these lamps, I hope for a "warm feel" to the restaurant. In addition there will be 4 ceiling fans to help the air circulation, no lights above the fan's  i.e strobe effects !

I can't wait to try this place out on my next trip.

 

Just wish you had proper chip pan chunky chips instead of French fries.

Well since everybody seems intent on offering advice even if they haven't run a restaurant will chip in my 2 satang pun intended

 

For the perfect chip peel and cut Maris Piper potatoes wash cut chips in fresh water

 

Soak for 24 hours in salted water obviously keep in fridge

 

Cook in Beef dripping

 

Appreciate though the logistics problem especially in a restaurant but it is a damm fine chip

I'm checking both hand-cut french fries & chips (about the size of a finger), hand cut and squared off.... I will see what comes out best & fits our chip baskets/ stands.

Well he's new to our business, I like things done a particular way and to a certain standard, it my job as his boss to clearly define his role & ensure the business is full operational before I hand over the reigns. 

 

Dont worry, I visit Pattaya for only 1 day a week and in my absence he runs things completely including the room bookings. Its not my first time opening a restaurant here & I can help him avoid some pitfalls. 

 

Most of the pictures taken here are taken by my manager, I just re-post them!
