Mark Schatzker’s Steak: One Man’s Search for the World’s Tastiest Piece of Beef

Listen to interview.

Mark Schatzker lives in Toronto, Canada, with his wife, Laura McLeod, and their three young children. He writes a weekly column for the Globe and Mail which is often called “satire” even though it isn’t always “satire,” and is a frequent contributor to Condé Nast Traveler as well as numerous other publications. Mark grew up in Toronto and attended the University of Toronto, where he did a specialist in philosophy. Steak is his first book.

Mark shared a few tips for a great steak experience:

1. Don’t buy the least expensive piece of beef

2. Don’t think you need to cook a very thick steak

3. Don’t add too much additional flavor to steak.
