Cody's Prime Rib

[ldj1938]

Made a tragic mistake at Cody's Sunday. I ordered their prime rib. Believe it or not they do not roast their prime rib! They boil it in a vat of water. Tough! Tasteless! Sent it back the first time because I thought they made a mistake. Second order was the same. Boiled to death! I brought it home and put it on the grill. Much improved, but a waste of $20. The waitress told me how they prepare them.. Big container of water and boil it. Yuk!:loco:barf

Hope the server was misrepresenting the sous-vide method of cooking, which is used in many upscale restaurants. From my reading about it, it doesn't seem the method I would choose for prime rib, but I don't know a lot about it yet. It would seem that the lack of "crust" would be a problem with prime rib.

The process involves a water bath, but the food is placed in an air-tight bag for cooking. The water bath is set to the temperature the food is desired to be and the bag is placed in the bath. When used for steaks and other food traditionally grilled, the food is removed when it has reached the proper temp and placed on the grill to produce the grill marks and color the surface.

The advantage of this method is that you can keep food at the proper temperature for a long time without overcooking it. One article described preparing a steak meal for 100 at an outdoor reception. The steaks were placed individually in vacuum bags in the water bath hours before serving was planned. They were removed from the bath at a rare temperature and placed on a grill to finish them including bringing them to the level desired, i.e. medium-rare, medium, etc.

So where is a good place to get prime rib in TV? Outback Steakhouse or any other place?

Sit at the bar at Codys and have a beer and Prime Rib for 4.99, now that's a real treat, It doesn't get any better than that after a round of golf.

I liked Cody's PR and Coconut Shrimp combo. It was last year, hope they haven't changed the process.

Mallory has a very good prime rip but only on Saturday's. I'm surprised at Cody's I usually get the rib eye and it's great.

As the manager of Cody's, we serve on avarage 1,200 guests per day. We are the most successful restaurant in the Villages. This is not a bold statment, just a fact. There are many reasons for this. Here are a few:
#1 Quality, #2 Quantity, #3 Value, #4 Atmosphere, and #5 Service. I am grateful that you have taken the time to post a comment on TOTV so I can address the issue. First and foremost, my apologies of two things: your disliking of the piece of prime rib, and the fact that your server told you that we boil our prime rib. I will be addressing my serving staff today about giving false information to our guests. As far as our procedure of cooking prime rib; we do slow roast our prime rib in an Alto Sham @ 250 degrees for 3 hours. Unfortunately, not every loin of meat we get is going to be tender. That is just the nature of the cow. On your next visit to Cody's, please ask for James Kane. I am the manager. I work Wednesday thru Sunday 3pm to 12am

Thank you for posting your concerns
Feel Free to contact me at:

Sincerely, James Kane.

I will try the prime rib at Codys when I rent in TV in June. My mouth is watering already! :icon_hungry:

[gerryann]

Hey James, thanks for posting about Cody's. I will also try the Prime Rib when I am there next. Can you tell me about your use (if any) of MSG?.....in steaks and otherwise? Thanks James!
