@the_rts wins #steakfrites love comp


The voters have spoken: There is no love for steak frites so rare as the one seared in memory by @the_rts. And just why does the winner of the youngandfoodish why-do-you-love-steak-frites competition love steak frites?

@the_rts: #steakfrites juices flowing, meat’s searing, frites frying, smell’s inspiring, melts like butter, heart’s a flutter for steak-frites supper

For his heart-fluttering tweet, @the_rts has won the ultimate steak-frites supper. He and a guest are invited by chef Henry Harris to the premiere of the youngandfoodish steak frites tasting dinners at Racine in London on the 22nd of March. Henry will prepare three steak classics – onglet aux échalottes, filet au poivre, côte de boeuf, with the best aged, grass-fed beef the great London butcher O’Shea’s of Knightsbridge has to offer. The meat will be matched to three bistro-style reds selected by Peter Lowe of Berkmann Wine Cellars.

If you’re thinking of making nice to @the_rts, hoping he’ll bring you as his guest to the dinner, don’t bother. Mrs the_rts, tweeting as @RandomPR, campaigned tirelessly for her husband and made it clear she would be his dinner companion if he won. The only way to fully satisfy your carnivorous urges roused by the competition is to book for the next steak frites tasting dinner in Racine’s private dining room on the 25th of May.

Steak frites competition and web videos co-producer Dino Joannides (@gastro1) and I wish to thank everyone who approached the #steakfrites love fest with passion, hunger, curiosity or wit. Congratulations to the finalists @josordoni, @timhayward, @Sened and @TrishDeseine. Here is why they love steak frites:

@josordoni: #steakfrites How do I love thee?Let me count the ways. I love thy rump, thy ribs, I could not love thee better. Except with chips

@timhayward: We’re losing him. Gimme a 12oz ribeye, MR with char, stat. I’m gonna need ‘naise and fries – lots of fries. Don’t give up on me #steakfrites

@TrishDeseine: #steakfrites are like a secret lover. You don’t want them every day, but when you do, they must be perfect.

@Sened: For the two simplest reasons: A steak. And Frites. It’s all there in the title, man! #steakfrites
