Thursday night I made a believer out of several more skeptics: people who didn’t quite believe me that Jacob’s & Co. is the best steakhouse in Toronto. Look on our works, ye mighty, and despair:

• Appetizers:
  • white cheddar pop-overs
  • four Caesar salads, prepared table-side
• Steaks, shared among the table (there were nine of us):
  • Canadian Piedmont/Angus 40oz porterhouse, aged 30 days (Fergus, ON)
  • Snake River Farms Wagyu 10oz tenderloin (Boise, ID)
  • A5 Black Tajima Wagyu 20oz ribeye (Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan)
• Sides, shared among the table:
  • sautéed spinach
  • beefsteak tomato
  • duck fat french fried potatoes
  • mashed potatoes
• Wine:
  • Ridge Estates 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Hidden Bench 2010 La Brunante
• Dessert:
  • petit fours
  • Port, Sauternes, Whisky, etc.
  • coffee/espresso

I’m still full.
