STEAK One Man's Search for the World's Tastiest Piece of Beef

Mike Lenz is an effective maître d' for this beef-centric audiobook. His manner is easygoing, and his style unhurried. This is a story of the search for the world's best steak. Lenz's inquisitive tone and straightforward storytelling benefit this planet-spanning journey to identify both the finest meat and cattle. Author Schatzker has put in the work: travelled 60,000 miles, visited 7 countries, devoured 100 pounds of steak and even bought, raised, finished, and ate his own Canadian cow, Florence. After he dismisses corn-fed American prime as commodified, he finds near grass-fed perfection in the Scottish Highlands, in Italy, in Japan, and closer to home in Idaho's remote Pahsimeroi Valley. There he rides the range, sleeps alongside the cattle, and dines on a superb Alderspring Ranch organic, grass-fed rib eye. A.D.M. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2021]
