Matt posted a clip of the restaurant where he said The Golden Steer “provides the best meal in Las Vegas.” Then he opened fire on the bread basket, saying the standard of the restaurant is determined by the bread and butter, and he was “going to make a run for this bread-basket.” He sampled freshly made meatballs and took them to be “very good” while he praised the traditional calamari and said the sauces enhanced their flavor.
He was also a little tempted by the luscious “Brontosaurus dinosaur-sized bone marrow dish,” which he called the “exemplar of tenderness.” The past of the place powerfully influenced him, and he confided that he was in the exact booth where Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio had been once. The waiter brought Caesar salad to his table which was just being prepared and then came the main course of steak and lobster, the lobster was peeled conveniently, with creamy mac and cheese and one unexpectedly excellent twice-baked potato. A key lime pie and a bananas foster prepared right at the table were his last treats, and he crowned the former as “my new favorite dessert in the country.”
The gourmet voyage of James was immediately responded with thumbs up from all over the planet. One user talked about a specific plate by declaring, “That bone marrow is HUGEEEE,” which was the exact astonishment of James. The vast quantity of food caught everyone’s attention, and many were wondering how it could be physically possible. Someone wondered, “How the hell have you eaten all those?” and another said, “Where is all this food going?! I was already full after the Caesar salad made at the table.” James quipped that the meal was “divided amongst a group of four men” and said his hard marathon training routine gives him “a really big appetite.”
There were many who thought that restaurant would be a perfect place on their travel schedule. One remarked, “I want to go to Las Vegas just to eat here,” which was the testimonial of the power of James’s endorsement. Even the restaurant, The Golden Steer, was part of the event, as it came back to James with the words: “Thank you very much for visiting The Steer!!” This passage shows that the event was a win-win for both parties.
Besides James’s culinary experience, the Instagram post has prompted the discussions about other eateries in Vegas. One of the netizens made a valuable recommendation saying, “Herbs and Rye, a twinning, only half the price. Golden steer is the best, nevertheless.” When James was probing it further, the user suggested the rib-eye or porterhouse route and pointed at a happy hour deal for 50% off on steaks and drinks, thus giving a budget-friendly tip for gourmets with thin pockets. Other users came up with their own menu suggestions for a possible future visit, the loudest saying, “You must not forget to taste the creamed corn next time!!! GAME CHANGER.”
