Dine-In Vancouver 2016 (Sarlo's) $80 Prime Rib prix fixe Objective: 1. Been slacking, I wanted to have a bit more intense cooking session. 2. Would my friends would trust me enough to shell out $80? 3. The idea of leaving hungry after a "prix fixe" meal disgusts me. 4. Everybody says "Dine-Out" sucks, can I make "Dine-In" any better?

how do i become your friend? .....err.... i meant how do i sign up? or maybe both? |
My god that looks fantastic.... and I would shell out $80 for that in a heart beat. |
are u kidding me!? wow. looks amazing I would gladly pay $80 |
May I be invited? I'd break my diet for this meal. |
Looks amazing! How much lead-up prep time do you need for something like this? I think you need bigger plates for the main course :p |
Hey Ron, Can we be friends? I'll even help eat and cook. |
I'm an expert at eating food. Can I be your friend? |
LOL I remember when people thought $80 was too much for this meal... Consider that dine out is $20-40 and you get maybe...20% of what we ate. At least 48oz of prime rib to go too. |
And that prime rib was one of the most tender pieces of meat I've ever had. I was cutting it with a butter knife. Quote:
For real though I've been telling Sarlo he needs to buy better looking dinnerware. |
looking for a chef de partie? ;) |
Wow this food looks amazing, this would be great for a get together with friends, do you do any private bookings? |
Looks great! Was wondering what happened. You seemed to go MIA both on RS and IG. |
Holy fuk! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: Curious how was the prime ribbed cooked? |

I'll be back on insta pretty soon I think. |

Salt, pepper, butter, garlic powder, onion powder, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme and some deep fried shallots. All blizted together into a paste. And yeah, I know I need better plates and lighting for photos. I need lots of stuff still. hahaha |
Thank you guys for all your kind comments. It's nice being able to spoil my friends once in a while. and really, it's Ronin that makes my food look good. As for people wanting in, I'm still sorta scratching my head on how to approach this legally, Not in it to make a boatload of $$$, I just want to protect myself from liabilities (safety concerns, people getting sick, lawsuit or somebody getting burned by the deepfryer). I did my first private booking with an RS member over the holidays. It went well I think (don't know his username, but maybe he'll chime in). Unlike other underground restaurants, my meals aren't fancy, romantic or nicely plated. It's just not my style currently. I'm leaning towards something more akin to a cooking space/school. Where people "come spend an evening and cook with me together". I'd do the shopping and do the heavy lifting and guide us through it together. I'll put some thought into how to approach it. Maybe you guys have suggestions? |
Man...I would love to dine at your place *drools* |

Shouldn't I be your prep cook? Quote:
Was a bit concerned about the bottom heat, but it seems to have turned out ok. |

That was me :) My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience; learning new things and being able to have a good chat and food is definitely a worthy experience. I definitely prefer this type of experience than the typical ones. Definitely recommended for any of you guys who like to cook or learn. Highlight of the night was definitely my wife getting super pissed drunk LOL :drunk::drunk::drunk::drunk::drunk::drunk: |
