High Steaks: Steak Club Round 2, 10 February 2012
Steak Club returned on Friday night with the second meating of this now monthly event. The steaks were high as Heavyweight Beef Champ Phil Evans stepped up to defend his title. This edition was notable for the creative interpretation of the steak club brief including a curve ball steak tartare from competition creator Thomas Partridge, marinaded venison from High Steaks veteran Jessica Hamilton and the innovative presentation of new competitor Ed 'I call my penis Michael Fassbender' Hamilton.
This impressive creativity was reflected in the scoring:
| 1st place: Jess, 345 points (venison) |
| 2nd place: Ed, 343 points |
| 3rd place: Phil, 337 points |
| 4th place: Tom, 334 points (steak tartare) |
| 5th place: Frankie, 330 points |
| 6th place: Karina, 317 points |
| 7th place: Gordon, 309 points |
| 8th place: Kate, 305 points |
| 9th place: James, 255 points (kangaroo) |
| Unplaced: Anna and Mani* |
The new Heavyweight Champ is Jessica Hamilton with a high-rolling 345 points!
*Due to unimpressive lack of commitment from both Anna and Mani and for handing in incomplete score sheets, both contenders have been disqualified from this steak club session. Only the dedicated survive.
**Other lessons to be learnt from this steak-out:
1. Presentation is key
2. Kangaroo is as tough as old boots
3. Upon arrival at High Steaks steak club competitors are required to bring a high-class bottle of wine and a bottle of 'plonk' (each)
4. The new wine shop on Hackney Road is good

Who is going to step up to the plate and host the next instalment of the Club we call steak? I can't wait!
