A happy return of the Evangelist of Dry-Aging and the Proclaimer of the Righteousness of the Spinalis Dorsi! Great to have you back!

Sublime, Transcendent, Maillard

antonthewall they’re more casual words used in British vocabulary all the time lmao

[@colsonrizzuto7973]

antonthewall everyone should know what the maillard reaction is

[@afatalconceit]

Great start to the show. I think the cuts were a little hard and fast, and I definitely would prefer a longer product around 8-9 minutes that didn't feel as hurried.

[@1yaya11]

I agree on the harsh cuts, but I think the length was because he has done this particular dish and place so many times it's just only right he starts his channel with this place though,

[@MR-dr5nc]

Small thing too but the sounds seems to trail the image ever so slightly, like barely a frame or two. But not enough to ruin. Excited to see more!!

[@glvnwong]

Agreed. The video felt rushed. Would like to see a longer video with greater in depth discussion

[@MeatLife]

@@1yaya11 Exactly, this is my baseline, my inspiration. Thanks for commenting,

[@1yaya11]

@@MeatLife keep up the stellar work and I'll keep commenting brother 👌😄

[@EfunMa]

The most profound platonic ideal of spinalis man is finally back. I need longer vids pls.

[@emptyskullify]

Omg it's magnificent, he's satirising himself...

[@DeeEfSea]

Exactly. Nick has become self aware and a self realised meat master..

[@justinapolonio1032]

Nick has reached the platonic ideal

[@gioarcega237]

The Duke of Unctiousness has returned.

[@ChifundoBanda]

Love this word, thanks for sharing it!

[@usernameisusername]

Duke of cucumber eating

[@Poogoo701]

the utterly concussive shatteringly crisp crust on a funky dry aged grade A5 spinalis dorsi Japanese wagyu steak still does not hold a candle to the platonic ideal that is the unctuous Smith and Wollensky's roast prime rib.

[@darkcreeper4316]

The platonic king has returned

[@shamirpatel3569]

Welcome back man, it’s been a bloody long time and it was worth it. #BritishPride

[@MeatLife]

Cheers mate!

[@shamirpatel3569]

mumbai street shitter bloody hell, I was born in London to parents who were born in east Africa and brought up in Britain like my bloody self to parents of Gujarati heritage so if you are born in Britain you’re British and if your parents are british then you yourself are British as it comes so there we go.

[@opusgazelle]

And we’re off... the welcome return of Mr Nick Solares, the trusted voice of the carnivore. Hope there’s a Joe Junior episode in the pipeline!

[@MeatLife]

Thank you! I'll def. visit there.

[@tyronebee702]

would be cool if his past wasn't exposed as a massive racist.

[@unisonproductions123]

Utterly quintessential platonic ideal!

[@1yaya11]

Yes yes yes! The man is back 👌🤩 first Spinalis dorsi of the year , it's going to be a good show...

[@MeatLife]

I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for support

[@turbo2g2003]

I just went here on Sunday for the first time. Prime rib is my favourite dish and you inspired me to come here.

[@themcnabinator]

Great mouth feel. Welcome back, and if I may say, looking particularly dapper Sir! How about incorporating a wine pairing. You had a glass poured, might as well add it to the mix.

[@MeatLife]

Thank you, I'll try to work that in.
