Quotes
"Next up is Hawksmoor. Now on Google, this is rated 4.5. So again, another high one. Among Londoners, this is a popular, reliable spot for a steak."
"We've got Chateaubriand, bone-in rib, porterhouse, T-bone, fillet. Fillet, fillet. I'll let you decide. I feel like this is going to be good. Sirloin price, 400 grams, 43 pounds. So we're coming in at seven pounds cheaper than the last place. Just been doing some research of whether to get the beef dripping chips or the beef dripping fries. I've looked at pictures and the chips look better. Look at them. Need them."
"We've got a juicier steak in the middle. It's a little bit, you know, pinker, I would say, than the last one. Not as heavily seasoned, but we've got a nice crust. Like, you looking at the top of this, this is crispier on top. I feel like it could have been more heavily seasoned at the start before cooking. But for, what was it, 43 pounds, 400 grams? I'd say you can't, you can't really put your nose up at that."
"The sauces that we've got with the bone marrow gravy and the peppercorn, they were four pounds each. So we spent eight quid on sauces. I can't really taste that much of a difference, to be honest with you. Beef fat chip. They look crusted up. These look like some proper prepared chips. They're not just like these pre-bought ones. They're taking care of these bad boys. Oh, yeah. Now, what we're going to do here, dunk that. Yeah, now we're talking. This is elevating the experience. Steak on its own, you need everything together. The wine here as well. I think we've got the house wine or something, a little bit spicier. Everything going nicely together."
"Collectively, we have agreed that it doesn't get on the list of being the top 20 steaks that either of us have had. You could cook it at home. You could probably say that about all of them, but I feel like that first one, that had some mastery craft behind it. So overall, yes, it was juicy, but the quality of the steak and the seasoning, it just wasn't quite there, in my opinion. However, one thing to note, all the sides were banging. The cameraman did get a mac and cheese — great. The burger, brilliant as well. But I do feel a bit let down. It just wasn't worth the hype... basing it off the last spot, I know that was high, but that's a 3.6."

What They Ate
Quotes
"They have a set menu that I really want to take advantage of. Oh man, they stopped doing it. That was such a good deal. It was like a drink and appetizer and their amazing burger and dessert for 26 pounds."
"Oh man, that was an amazing deal."
"You know what, Ashley, it's probably for the best. I've definitely had more than a lot of people share carbs today. A lot of good food was had today."
