Local Beef Wellington?

[FanIn80]

Following the same vein as Jiri's Benny thread...

Ever since I watched Gordon Ramsay make a Beef Wellington, I've been intrigued. Any suggestions on where to find a really good one here in town? I have no idea what it tastes like or is even supposed to taste like, but man oh man it sure looks good.

Funny, I asked this very same question a few months ago, pretty much for the very same reason. Beef Wellington is about as good of a dish as I can think of.

It depends on how "local" you are talking about, but I actually had a really amazing Beef Wellington in Banff, I still think about it form time to time. It was at the St. James Gate Pub, which was fantastic otherwise as well, but this Wellington was really amazing. I was actually thinking about going back to Banff over this Xmas just to eat it again, but unfortunately I never got the chance.

Here's the problem though, it doesnt seem to be on their menu anymore according to their website, which would be a damn shame. If anyone ever happens to be there, please double check for me, it was a damn fine meal.

Mmm that video looks tasty. I love Gordan Ramsey... Ive been told by a chef I used to work for his restaurants are unreal. Heard some good things about his one in Monte Carlo.

I'm drooling now. Thanks a lot.

Throw some yorkshire puddings on the plate and it would be the perfect meal.

Haha yes. I loooove yorkshire puddings.

Hmmm. Maybe I'll try to make one myself. He makes it look so easy...

Yorkshire puddings are pretty easy, I made a ton of them when I was 14 in the high school cafeteria and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. They still turned out pretty darn good.

I'm sure they aren't that easy, but I've tried lots of things that looked way over my head and had them turn out pretty good in the end. Just keep the expectations low the first time.
