THE STEAK DIARIES: Côte De Boeuf – The Butchershop Bar & Grill, Glasgow

The first time I ever tasted côte de boeuf was in the Butchershop Bar and Grill in Glasgow many years ago. It was quite unlike anything I’d tasted before.

Having just arrived in Manchester following a four hour journey from Glasgow, we […]
