The controversy surrounding flat iron steak continues unabated!
Faithful ChicagoScope followers recall, of course, that I concluded that
the flat iron steak on Amtrak totally sucked.
Phil and Lingo of
The Brit and Yankee took notice, too, and challenged me to try their flat iron steak and see how it measures up to that served to unsuspecting passengers on America's subsidized passenger rail service.
It turned out to be a kind of railroad experience, anyway, as I had to take a Metra train way out into the hinterlands of unincorporated DuPage County to join them in The Brit and Yankee Beer Garden. There, I consented to subject their own special flat iron steak to a taste test.
And guess what? It was great!
I also got a chance to sample some of their home-brewed beer -- and was a quest on their podcast. Listen to
The Brit and Yankee.
