That URL brings you to Metro subways... even you didn't figure out
that someone needs to scroll all the way to the end to find and
click on the restaurant URL... so how would all the noobies here
know...

Stop eating for a moment and see if that link takes you to the Subway
chain.

Not here; in my browser (or why ever), the link further up goes to the
restaurant-article only.

Bye, Sanne.

Just a hint:
If clicking an url doesn't work (it did here, but there are sites out there
where it doesn't): just cp it to a new browser tab or window.

Bye, Sanne.

The URL is your friend. Use it but don't abuse it. :)

Looks as good as a high priced prime rib.

32 friggin hours to cook a thick steak? Conventional oven roast in 3.5 or 4.5
hours at 275 or 300 degrees F. would probably work as well with moist heat.
Can't see most people wanting to fuss over sous vide stuff for long.

It looks like very dry poached beef... not anything I'd want to eat.
Chuck is far better grilled on med high.

Your Googlin' skills need some work. "Subway restaurant" will get you the Wikipedia article on the chain as the first non-sponsored listing. You probably just searched for "subway." This would be as useful as searching for "restaurant" i.e., not useful at all.

Well, Steve has a lot of "time" on his hands, for him watching a piece of shoe leather slowly cook for 32 hours is a fascinating pastime...when he cooks fish he avidly stares at it swim in his aquarium for several days before he cooks it.

Steve needs to watch "Queer Eye for the Str8 Guy", that presentation is awfully boring...those beans need to be lined up all parallel to each other...and some sprinkles of color would enhance the presentation. If he improves Steve could even have his own vittles styling bizness...or even a teevee show...!!!
