I Battled New York’s #1 Steak House
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 гру 2022
- Peter Luger has been around since 1887 and is quite possibly America’s most iconic steakhouse. Today I went head to head with their most notable cut, the massive porterhouse. It’s prime grade and dry aged, tender and sizzling to medium rare perfection, and easily my most difficult challenge to date!

Legend has it the spinach is still sitting there untouched to this day
Verdade
MAx is turning into a mix of Guga & Joshua Weissman. Copies Gugas videos and Joshua's weird in video sayings/edits (close up of stretched face & prolonged word in low frequency). Odd
yes. i am angry
Which is funny cause that creamed spinach is absolutely delicious
@@turbokid99 bro they are friends
It's almost impossible for any steak to be as good when it is takeout. A big part of the Peter Luger experience is the take it to your table while the steak is still sizzling and the plate is super hot to keep the steak nice & warm.
not to mention the tableside basting
This is just me and it might sound weird but I cook a lot of steak and sometimes my eyes are bigger than my stomach and the next day the left over from the fridge to me actually have more flavor. I don't know what it is but the fat just tastes more robust, and the flavor of the steak itself more concentrated. Cold steak from the fridge, especially when it's really rare, is so full of flavor and I almost prefer it at this point.
@@johnnyt316 Not just you. I love both… But bro steak and eggs is amazing.
Pretty sure there steak is dry aged too.
I’ve heard Peter Lugers is overrated for the price tbh. Good but not the end all be all.
The to go box situation definitely effects the quality of the food. I've never had food delivered that was just as good as eating at the restaurant other than maybe some chinese food.
its the shitty plastic
Pizza. Depending on how far you are, the time between cooking and delivery lets the cheese cool so you don't burn yourself.
@@joncarroll2040 Nah, I prefer pizza straight out of the oven, no time in the the box.
You lose some of that crispiness when it stays in the box.
@@alijaffery7735 a properly made pizza maintains its crispiness until you put it in the fridge.
Blurring out your cat's poopchute and protecting his honor - absolute class move. 👏
Honestly I didn’t notice til you had said something, why did you notice that though 😂
Why were you trying to look? 🤨 📸
I like the think the cat wanted to show it off though
How did you even see that?
You should make your steak and bring it in a to-go box to the restaurant while theirs comes out fresh.
hey
I think its time for Max to open his Steak House ! That would be awsome.
"Why are all our meals taking so long to cook?"
"Because the chef likes cooking everything over applewood, low and slow"
@@madingthree hahaha true
One day!!
@@riverwang5482 hahah definetly
@@MaxtheMeatGuy Can’t wait !
Max should open up his own steak house, I'd definitely go there.
My dude scammers are here!
@@RkKoori what
A massive amount of restaurants fail within the first year. It's pretty much a lottery whether you're going to be successful or not
Just for a random guy to cook a single steak that is better than his restaurant to go.
Max won, i already know
I mean the fact that his wasn't takeout is certainly an advantage
Definitely should have cooked the two at the same time or left them both in a fridge overnight to be fair
What a meat rider🤦🏽
@the stranger takeout or no he ate it hot and ready and it costs $140 dollars. It's gotta taste better than any steak I've ever made or I'm gonna be pissed
@@joeycoming1926 take out makes a huge difference Dawg
LMAO, you got me with the "Well Done"! My heart dropped for a split second.
Petter Luger. The most over rated steakhouse in America.
I was smiling until he said "well done." 😂
I’ve learned a lot about steak from both you and Guga. Now whenever I need to cook steak for a family function I always impress and it’s thanks to you guys.
I love your videos man keep it going
“I was prepared to loose, it was a part of the script” max cracks me up man😂😂
From what I remember, Peter Luger actually lost their Michelin Star a couple months back. They're "just another good restaurant" at the moment.
Anyways, I have to recommend Hyun, Cote, or Carne Mare if you'd like to try other places with incredible steaks. The first two are Korean but they do not disappoint... Carne Mare is my personal favorite, though. They're all quite expensive but New York isn't exactly Budget City.
Yup, I’m in NYC and Peter Luger is SUPER overrated. There are far better places. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a tourist trap at this point
Peter Luger is okay, but I go to Old Homestead mostly
They are overrated IMHO
Hyun and cote are wagyu it’s a whole different experience.. I’d still give Peter Luger the best for a traditional steakhouse
Seattle has the best steak I’ve ever had Kobe beef at the Butchers table Tomahawk cost me $1400 but was sooo worth it best meal I’ve ever had
This channel is very entertaining and informative
I appreciate it man!
@@MaxtheMeatGuy make those 600 gallons of water worth it man. All from one cow. Cultured meat is the future.
@@MaxtheMeatGuy love u Max thanks for brightening my day
I would love to see max open a restaurant one day, I’d fly all the way over just to taste his food for myself
love the edits lmao
your videos are awesome man. Im glad I found your channel
That means a lot, thank you!
Don’t forget Lugers steak arrived in a hot container where it was steaming and making the crust more wet and soft. Lugers steak def looked like it was cooked better
Def doing a Lugar style steak soon!!!! Njce Job Max!
i think salting and buttering might make it worse;
guys from SVE did an experiment on adding butter into the bag and they unanimously preferred the one without butter, probably because it prevents the salt from efficiently dissolving and absorbing.
maybe a dry brine nxt time?
Yea I sv quite often and adding butter does tend to ruin things but I find it to be dependent upon the amount of butter though
I dry brine, heavy salt for about 20-30 minutes, then wash it off and grill. While cooking, I put a dollop of a seasoned garlic butter I made on each side.
@@PlayafromtheHimalayas maybe less salt instead of washing off?
He didn’t sous vide the steak though. Guga uses butter all the time when he uses cast iron
@@kenstravels981 not in the bag while cooking
Where has this channel been my whole life? My new UA-cam addiction
I would LOVE that spinach! Max, you're steak looked absolutely 💯 👌
I have two steakettes beside my bed im gonna watch these steak vids until i cant take it anymore
Always love/hate watching your vids, sir. Makes me crave these nice ass cuts. 😂
If you're up for a bit of a travel, I highly recommend Blinker's steakhouse in Clearwater, Florida. It's by far the best steak I've ever had in my life
For the creamed spinach, add a few good scrapes of fresh nutmeg. It will really bring out the flavors and enhance the cheese/milk mixture
‼️ Nutmeg really does go good with creamy things
@@justinjalenleetiller PAUSE
When you selected well done i dang near died
Max with greatest Edits, vegan jokes and medium rare steaks
Can’t compare delivery steak to a steak cooked and eaten soon after
I came here to say that
Yeah it clearly cooked more by steaming in the bag. The girl said Max’s was more tender - because it was out in the open at the right temp
I see we didn't even worry about the cream spinach comparison
i wish i was max's family member, then i can eat steaks everyday
The very best steak I ever had was shipped from Peter Luger. (birthday present from in-laws) I grilled it to perfection on my Primo Oval XL. You know that nutty/buttery flavor that you will rarely encounter in a bite from most steaks? Every single bite of this Peter Luger steak had that. I did everything on the grill; no cast iron. I added no butter. It was amazing. The second best steak I ever had (close second) was recently at Pearl & Vine right in my own area of Katy, TX.
I will tell you that if you get a well marbled steak from ANY butcher that has prime cuts of dry aged steak, it'll be exactly the same. Peter luger doesnt have a monopoly on dry aged prime cuts of steak.
@@erickim1739 That may be, but most all of the aged steaks that the in-laws have sent me after the Peter Luger one has tasted like nasty spoiled cheese. Have you ever had a bite of steak (non-aged) that happens on a rare occasion that tastes absolutely amazing? Every single bite of that Peter Luger steak tasted that way.
Nice video Max, thank you for the upload!
Steak is something to be eaten right away ,you can't compare it to something delivered ,also that looks like the ones they do in italy , the reason the bottom lacking a crust is because they serve it on a thick cast iron dish wich will be very very hot even 1 hour after they bring it to the table .
Like so Max can see as well
That’s not the reason
This is what i personally saw in Florence, had you been to the steakhouse mentioned in video ?
It’s actually because Peter Luger has a custom build broiler that blast the top of the steak right before they serve it. Peter Luger steakhouse is one of the most iconic restaurants in New York City; they’ve done tons of cooking show interviews and tours. The broiler is pretty much “their thing.”
There is really really hard to find an "American" thing , all the things, tricks , technics in USA was imported from other places on Earth and it doesn't mean if someone is doing something A LOT they invented it , i am repeating myself people in Florence were doing this since Florence exists and if this steakhouse in NY is not serving the steaks on a hot cast iron dish i will consider them amateurs.
@@wuasilekerpici7812 "if they don't do it the way I like it then they are amateurs"
Actual clown behavior from you.
Yes finally another video
the quality is crazy good
exactly one is fresh the other sat in a box
“Which steak will be better” LMAOO 😂😂😂😂
That glass of red was perfect
@Max Peter Luger lost their Michelin status back in October. This actually swayed me from making a reservation on a recent trip I had to the city.
Oh wow really. I didn’t know that!
Wait if so when was this vid filmed lol
You made the right choice, it’s a tourist trap and there are far better steakhouses in NYC. I’ve been there 3 times and each time I was disappointed. It’s not bad, but not as good as some of the steakhouses that don’t have worldwide fame like Benjamin and Gallaghers. Peter Luger is really undeserving of the hype
Mich Stars are that big a deal anymore, said Marco Pierre White, after he won many. He said restaurant chefs with stars usually are judged by people who know little about food . Marco said Stars arent valueable to him anymore .Restaurant experience and food experience and taste is worth more than award.
Michelin isnt just food but service too so I wouldnt say their steak is michelin star
Great video max!!
Also, much as I respect Max and his extraordinary kitchen skills. Peter Luger chefs need to probably cook anywhere between 5-20 steaks an hour, so their quality might be disadvantaged compared to Max who has to cook 1 steak. Mass production always effects quality slightly.
Like how humble he his. Great vid
I work out on the boats one of my cooks used to work at one of his steakhouses! Told me exactly how they were cooked as well! Cool stuff max!
Love the part when she tried the spinach
She?
@@capybara6996 have you even watched this to the end?
"on a race against the clock" continues to let the steak get cold
This guys beard game is on point
A visit ro Peter Lugers is on my bucket list
Went there with some friends recently, and love how it feels kinda unique there. Everything is served family style and the interior is german themed. They also have a great bloody mary.
I can tell you how many times I reminded that “excellent vineyard” bit 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You are incredible amazing, Max! Best vid!
Love your videos max
Max: I’m racing against the clock to eat this steak, so let me give you an in depth lecture about the porterhouse steak instead of eating it.
Max is slowly defrosting just like wait oh no 😱😂
Very cool video. Great job Sophia picking the right steak! 😉
"Great neck" 🤣
Thank you for this awesome video!
I mean there are a number of videos out there that show exactly what Peter Luger does for their steaks
I bet the cream spinach was so good they forgot to film it.
your sister is a real trooper in these vids
Blurring kitties chocolate knot... LOL!
Best one yet
Homie just needs to be a nationwide meme and open up *Max’s Meats*
Need that Mad Max Steak House asap
Butter. HOT. Aged. Thus is the Peter Luger’s experience.
how does it look so good…
I like how he blinded his sister first and then proceeded to give us a lecture on steaks haha
Peter Luger’s creamed spinach is amazing i might stop by there today just for that and maybe the dry age burger
Different temperatures definitely played a part
3:38 dude turned into Benedict Cumberbatch for a second
That’s wild I went to school with your sister since kindergarten! The kens steak house challenge makes a lot more sense now and the cop in that video was also from me and Sophia’s class
If my steak come to the table pre cut. Its going right back 2 the kitchen
Our porterhouse at Luger's was really good, but I would neet to try yours Max to have a comparison :)
Hey, I have a challenge for you. Can you add to Longhorn steakhouse?
I went there once and I got a really good ribeye and oh man those mashed potatoes with the skins in them I think they’re called dirty potatoes or country style potatoes was amazing and the gravy I could swim in it!
So that’s my challenge I want you to outdo Longhorn steakhouse
The disappointment went there wasn't a transition with the spinach
Love your beef jerky. Have one of each flavor
The tie gives off those Christian Grey vibes. Mr. Steak will see you now. 😂🤣🤣
Max:how’s your steak
Me before the second part of cooking:good we had a splendid conversation
Tbh brutally honest it isn’t fare that should have been a parking lot cooking ordeal
he's not eating in his truck 😭
Damn the Beefer seems to be unavailable in NA. I love Luger's but was really hoping you'd be able to show a technique that didn't require special equipment. I've tried reverse sear to 100F and using my oven broiler for the last step but it always winds up overcooking before a crust can form. Maybe I'll just try the Searzall next time.
Max saying he gonna try some NYC steaks
*meanwhile the Italian music*
Nah nah don’t minde me sir
it was perfect as soon as you pulled it off the grill
Max the Spinach Guy lol! I really want to see that as a meme side channel and he really cook some vegetable side dishes, that well accompany meat obviously. I would totally sub
I had a doubt that I wanted to ask about sous vide method.
I have seen that for this method you have to put the meat in a sou vide packaging.I wanted to know is the bag made of plastic,if yes doesn't it harms us as boiling plastic is not good.if not then what actually is the sou vide bag made of.
Please answer
I’m 13 and cook stakes 3 times a week for everyone and myself. I love cooking and you have given me some great tips and pointers! Thanks for being an inspiration to young chefs!!
Im 14 and I cook steak about 2 times a week!
Still learning but Im already better than my parents now
careful bout that cholesterol though!
Good job boys! What time are they going to be done, I'm starving
Always great to pick up a new hobby especially when you're young. Keep it up!
Man I'm really jealous. All I've ever eaten as steak is cut up, well done ones. I've always wanted to try a medium rare whole steak but I don't have much money for it yet but one day I'll get that damn steak
5:46 same. Didn’t have to out me like that
As you said it's not a perfect comparison, but still impressive
I’ve never actually heard of this one place because I don’t even live in the region let alone in nyc but this really does look good this is probably the first place I though could give max a run for his money
It's actually horrible for the amount of money you pay.
So what was the cost of yours vs theirs?
Me waiting for the cream spinach taste test :c
Aye you gonna finish that steak big dawg
This is just me and it might sound weird but I cook a lot of steak and sometimes my eyes are bigger than my stomach and the next day the left over from the fridge to me actually have more flavor. I don't know what it is but the fat just tastes more robust, and the flavor of the steak itself more concentrated. Cold steak from the fridge, especially when it's really rare, is so full of flavor and I almost prefer it at this point.
01:22 "And as usual, poured myself a nice glass of Red" - Max The Vamp Guy confirmed?🧛🏿♂
Hey max, check out "Bones" in Buckhead, Atlanta Georgia! It has actually beat Peter Lugers in ratings a few times
might have to go to peter lugers fr
Went here a couple months ago, THE BEST STEAK I WILL EVER HAVE
Max the Spinach guy
5:38 That spinach ball reminds me of the similar one on Jamie Oliver's "ramen", just a dense ball of sad, but at least Peter Luger's and Max's has cream in it.
The key to the spinach is always the bacon. "Confucius"
