Default Cody's Prime Rib

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!

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.

Default Good prime rib in TV

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.

Default Best prime rib

For the best Prime Rib around you need to go to Alfie's in Weirsdale. Best around and what a platter full.

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.

Alfie's: But don't order anything else except Prime Rib. If they are out, come back another day.
