I FLEW FROM UK TO TEXAS FOR STEAK! Singapore Airlines A350 BruceFerguson999: Noel, the next time you are in a US steakhouse order a side of bone marrow with the steak. Ordering it rare was bit surprising and obviously you have a refined taste for good steak. Most people of British heritage I grew up with liked their beef well done I seem to recollect, and this is how my mother served it. It's a Victorian thing and although the Little Queenie liked her beef rare, Albert did not. Or Liz Windsor II, for that matter. Whew. bone marrow with steak is such a treat. Its like butter but even more delicious. I did the same sort of thing, that is Toronto to Edmonton, Toronto to Regina, Toronto to Winnipeg and Toronto to Halifax and back on the same day just to have lunch with clients. The bank I was with insisted on this short of a turnaround to be back in my desk the next morning bright and early but finally I said no way and they were going to pay for an extra day for my sightseeing and relaxing after my business concluded. I am surprised that since you travelled all that way that you did not take at least an extra 24 hours to look around a bit. Ahhh. but to be in my 20's again, 40 years ago when I did these hurry-up flights.

Nice one Noel. Liked the seating on the plane, but, all the way to TX and only for a Longhorn steak? Really? All the way to TX for a branch of the huge Longhorn steak house chain. Oh dear. We even avoid Longhorn at the top of my road here in MD Noel LOL! Please, please, don't fly to Italy looking for a branch of Olive Garden Noel LOL!
P. S. Sorry Noel. I did not read the comments before I left my own. You certainly got perhaps quite rightly roasted or should I say grilled for your choice of restaurant there Noel! Glad you enjoyed it though! Pop around to me I'll take you for another one. LOL.

Noel, I noticed when you were flying towards Houston you came over my state, Arkansas! At least you flew over! That's interesting that you went for a steak dinner then flew back to the UK later that night. Wished I could be that bold! Fried okra-that's not necessarily a Texan thing; that's a southern thing! LOL! That steak looked delicious! I've eaten at Longhorn before-actually did it in Frisco, TX once. It was good! Then came back home and ate at my local Longhorn-it sucked compared to Frisco! LOL!

Was interested to see what you thought of the Singapore A350s, I did the same flight in May 2019. (Although I didnt come back the same day)
One thing that struck me on my flight was the captain seemed actually accelerate around the final corner to the runway and then continue to accelerate to take off without pausing to line up. At the time I had visions of him doing it one handed with one arm out of the window!

I used to do crazy stuff like this in the 1980s when I used to get totally free airline tickets from Air Canada as my father worked for them. Used to just get the tube to Heathrow and write out my ticket (yes had written then) go to Toronto, do a bit of shopping for the day and get the night flight back

1st time I ever seen someone eat Okra with a fork
I've lived in Texas my entire life and I leared that NON-fried Okra was a thing when I was like 17.
also next time go to Saltgrass Steakhouse, but im sure your comments have already told you about that a thousand times lmao

reply

The reason they were confused is because you were so far wrong with your initial thoughts of Manchester and how we do our steaks lol
There are LOADS of fantastic restaurants in Manchester, you should try them because that's one hellova long trip just for a steak

reply

I feel bad he went to long horn for steak that isnt a classic Texas steak because theirs a longhorn in New Jersey by me and some in Pennsylvania I know he probably didnt know but for next time dont fly to Texas to get steak at longhorn
reply

Noel, I'd love to know how many upgrades you got the following 12 months as a result of protecting you Gold status? - There is even a video there for you? How Many upgrades achieved as a result of preserving Gold status James, Warwickshire

I have friends in the UK. They routinely horrify me with the cost of living there. Just the price of gas/petrol in London alone. It's probably cheaper to fly to Texas first class than have a steak in an English pub.
reply

As a Texan, I realize your options were limited where to eat, but that was a chain streak house. Ha ha. Glad you liked it though (Ill pass on the fried okra thoughugh. Next time you roll through try BBQ. :-)
reply

OMG Longhorn? This is most definitely not a Texas steakhouse lol. If you wanted to achieve simply eating steak in Texas then you did it. but my word. you could have got a better steak at the airport in the UK.

The smoke plumes you saw coming from Louisiana were the sugar cane farmers burning their property after the harvest (it's a controlled burn of course. It gets rid of the rats and snakes ect
reply

When in Texas many years ago, I was surprised to learn that the A1 Steak Sauce proudly used in all authentic Texan steak houses was made in Failsworth, near Oldham. True, dat.
reply

2am was 2 hours past departure time, so that means departure time was around midnight. But when they were about to board the flight, it was still light outside the airport - Huh?
reply

A mileage run! Awesome! I did one several years ago. I was eight hours late arriving, got food poisoning at my hotel, and had to leave for the airport at 4am the next morning. Ugh.
reply

I have fallen in love with your videos! I'm gonna fly for the first time in my 20 years of live tomorrow! and your videos have me absolutely pumped! keep up the great work!

Question: Why does SIA do these transatlantic routes? Their staff is far away from home and it seems like FRA to JFK or indeed MAN to IAH seems out of their range.
reply

I would say going to Texas for Longhorn Steakhouse is like going to New England for Red Lobster. but we don't allow f#&ing Red Lobster in New England
reply

Now, Houston had to have better steakhouses than Longhorn. Couple of US steakhouses (among many) to try are Berns in Tampa and St Elmos in Indianapolis.
