The Hollando Diet

Steak

January 12th, 2006

Technically, a diet consists of what you eat. We had dinner the other night at Degree, which is right on the harbor in Auckland. The specialty of the house is a raw steak, served on an extremely hot rock. The technical term for this is “good.”

Auckland has been great; I have yet to have a bad meal. The low end (sushi and kebabs) are superb, and the medium-tier restaurants are far better than their US pricepoint equivalents. The meal above, including beers and two appetizers, came to about $60 US.

    Incredibly, exceptionally good. Although I doubt you could get away with the concept in the US. Too many health codes.

    I now have to travel to New Zealand. Clearly they think about eating just as I do. Cave men had it all figured out…
