Bistecca Alla Fiorentina - The Best Steak In The World?

Ойын-сауық

He belts out arias and recites Dante while serving the best meat in Tuscany. The eighth-generation butcher Dario Cecchini adores bistecca alla fiorentina, a thick steak of Chianina beef, the largest breed of cattle in the world. He serves it at his restaurant-cum-butcher's in Panazano, Tuscany, where he puts on a rustic show for hungry guests from all over the world, who come to see the famous butcher in action. He believes in using every part of the animal and showcasing regional products and recipes.

    Been there many times, last time in 2012. Nothing like entering the small butchery with the deafening music of AC/DC blasting all around, then the huge chef himself with always the smile on his face serving salame and other cold cuts, the glasses of wine always full. Dining at the long table with guests from all over the world is an experience in itself. Love the man and his team.

Again, that does not mean that Dario doesn't have the same quality food or even better than some Michelin restaurants. If you ask me personally as a chef, simplicity makes perfection , especially when you don't want your excellent main ingredients to get lost in a mess of tastes. Some chefs argue thought that you can construct amazingly layered dishes, which is also true. Each to his own i guess.

    The best farmer will give an animal that is going to be slaughtered for food, a life of great days with one bad day. Each of us owes one death and if you can imagine someone making that day as fast and painless as possible, you are thinking of a very good farmer. I cook a pretty nice steak myself so it would be a quite a life time exlerience to taste something from a master's best work.
