Get some pen and paper, folks, because this affordable 200g steak from @homeground.grill is one for the books.

Charcoal grilled whiskey ribeye ($26) 🥩 8/10

How they achieve such a consistent pinkness within grilled steak I'll never know. Maybe it has something to do with the ~20min wait time but each minute was worth it. The steak delivered a satisfying mouthfeel that veered towards chewiness but was oh-so-worth it for this price point.

One glaring flaw in this dish is their red wine reduction sauce, which tasted nothing like red wine and was awfully thin. Nevertheless, the coarse flakes of salt were more than enough to season the juicy steak.

Poutine ($12) 🍟 6/10

When I spied "poutine" on their specials' board, I knew I had to give them a try. After all, the steak didn't come with any potatoes. I appreciated how the fries were handmade and not not too oily, but my tastebuds yearned for good ol' white potatoes that would go with the gravy better.

These were all-round okay but didn't have any quintessential cheese curds.
