I don't make it too often so I'm still experimenting with the texture/chop. First time I made it, several years ago now, I used the coarsest setting on my grinder and it was bit too ground for me. I've been doing it by hand since and I've managed to over chop it even then. This was a piece of filet, super tender, so wanted to check out a chop like this. I'm sort of triangulating on it but I only make it about once a year so it's been a long process.

I'd certainly eat it as you presented it. Large portion though

Ate at Red Medicine last night.
Seriously underwhelming.

Decent cocktail: their "#15" - sour, herbal, lemon (rye)

"Biodynamic leeks" with yuzu and buttermilk. Reasonably tasty, but the texture of the leeks wasn't great. Too stringy and gummy.

Sweet potatoes with smoked tofu and tamarind. This was good -- probably the best thing we had -- even though my dinner companion thought the potatoes looked like "little orange turds".

Wild yellowfin tuna with quince and roasted kale oil. I enjoyed this, but it was kind of a jumble. It didn't help that it was served kind of layered into a deep plate that was black or dark charcoal. The restaurant's not that bright, and it was sometimes hard to figure out just what you were getting in a particular forkful.

Santa Barbara uni with almond milk and unripe melon. Not bad, but I think I'd rather just do uni as sushi without so many distractions.

Young turnips with banana vinegar and creme fraiche. The turnips were really good. The banana vinegar was an odd note, at least in this dish.

Why would you give your money to those assholes?

+1000

Amen. I was serrrioousslly underwhelmed at Red Medicine. Beautiful plates, but the taste was just not there.
