Looks bangin! Was the mixture noticeably leaner than beef tartare?

Never heard of chips with tartare. We usually do bread or toast with lots of butter 😋
Also i did not know that eating tartare was a controversial topic, I guess that it is a problem in places where food safety is not that good, but it is not that different biologically than eating rare steaks, those ain't cooked either in the centre.
People have their reasons for not wanting to eat it but my rule is, the better the restaurant the more I'm willing to eat things that require more care in their offering. This restaurant is one of the best in my city and I'm very happy I have the opportunity to eat here.
Tartar is always such a delight. A bit of cognac, some chilli and a lot of capers.
May I ask about the consistency of the egg yolk? Was it purely raw or did they manage to solidify it with a chemical reaction?
I consider myself an adventurous eater but don't think I can do a tartare, unfortunately.
It’s sashimi, except a different meat. If one can eat sashimi one can assume some similar risks from beef (or bison). Stricter controls handling on the meats make it as safe as can be done.
I’ve had tartare and it was very good, but it was a one-time thing for me. As an American I have a hard time with the concept, frankly because our food safety system and how we raise animals foe food isn’t all that great.
A correctly prepared tartare is safe and delicious. It is one of the best ways to taste the meat, as there is no cooking process to change the flavor. If you get a chance, considering its price, try it!
I still think I'll pass.
If you're curious about it but can't quite handle the squickiness of true tartare (me, ugh the fucking texture of raw egg yolk is something I just cannot get past) a blue/bleu steak is very close flavor wise and a lot more palatable for many people.
You’ve never had a raw egg in a beer as a little nutritional hair of dog?
In things it's fine, but as the centerpiece / defining texture I just dont like it. Never heard of egg in beer specifically though, that does sound interesting.
I've always wanted to try a steak Pittsburgh rare.
Honestly this description makes me less likely to try it.
More for the rest of you I guess!
I couldn’t eat it either but it has nothing to do with safety or taste. The texture is what I’d have a problem with.
It's a shockingly good texture. Way better than it sounds.
Is it the texture of finely cut uncooked meat, because any texture like that and I immediately become nauseous.
It’s very psychosomatic for me. Happens with chicken too if it’s a woody piece. I can temp it to know it’s cooked, I can look at it and see it’s cooked but as soon as I feel that abnormal texture I’m out.
"best potato chips you've never* tasted." 😭
I would like to though! This all looks amazing
Waffle-style chips are really good IME, especially with the right flavoring:

'Aged cheddar' was the last type I tried. I had to really pace myself, because I wanted to just inhale them. 😄
I just can't do tartare. Sushi is fine but make it...not fish, and my brain says "what are you, a stupid? that ain't cooked."
I used to get random cravings for raw meat, probably some iron deficiency or something. I'd buy a steak once a week, season it with some salt pepper and garlic, maybe a few dashes of liquid smoke, and go to town on my NY Strip or Filet (while hidden away from the normal folk, locked in my room to cover the shame).
Never got sick or anything, but it satisfied something deep in me from those days. Every now and then I still get the craving, but God damn are beef prices atrocious these days, no raw buppy for me
I still agree with chicken, but beef I've been convinced.
When I was about 17 I was working at a small venue / in house catering company. At the time one of my jobs was to start the fire for the smoker and prep the meat. We got a 'baron' of beef. I'm honestly still not sure what cut that was but, it was huge had two grains and a thick fat cap. I had to trim some of the fat and season it.
The owners wife was very pregnant with a boy (some cultural thing where she wanted to make her boy manly IDK) she came up to me and asked me to trim off a piece of raw beef. I tried to talk her out of it but she was the boss I was a kid. she ate it and went about her day. I figured I should to.
it was beefy. it really helped me appreciate the flavor of the beef.. did again several times.
Are you sure they're not lays or just generic brand potato chips? To my knowledge this is preferable with good tartar. You want the most basic chip that will carry the flavor, not a greasy homemade potato chip that is flavorful on its own.
Essentially the goal is light flavor carrier that offers little to take away from the tartar, just some texture and structure to eat it.
That looks delicious!
What is the yellow disc? Egg yolk?
