Vancouver's Most Controversial 40oz Steak Challenge 🥩… Worth It?

After seeing hype on Xiaohongshu, I had to try The Canadian Brewhouse’s annual "Steak Day"—a 40oz (1.1kg!) steak + sides for just $50 CAD. As a meat lover, I was intrigued… but boy, was this a mixed bag. 🍖 The Experience 📍 Vibe: Feels like a retirement home for hockey fans 🏒—packed with older white dudes cheering on games. 💰 Deals: Famous for 0.69 wings on Wednesdays (but today, wings were 19 for 8 tiny pieces… ouch). 📝 Process: Had to pre-pay online for the steak deal, got a ticket. 🥩 The 40oz Steak (Medium Rare) ✔ Size: MASSIVE—could feed 2-3 people. ✔ Price: $50 for steak + salad, mashed potatoes, and boiled beets—technically a steal. ❌ Texture: Tough as leather—had to cut it into tiny pieces (no way you’re chewing this in big bites). ❌ Flavor: Zero sear, zero aroma—just a big, bland hunk of meat. 🍽️ Sides: Basic AF—nothing memorable. 🍗 Bonus: Non-Deal Wings ($19) ✔ 8 tiny wings—not worth it (wait for Wednesday’s $0.69 deal). 💡 Final Verdict ✅ Cheap? Yes. ✅ Big? Absolutely. ❌ Good? Nope. Best for: ✔ Hockey fans who just want beer + cheap snacks. ✔ Curiosity seekers who don’t mind chewing for 15 mins per bite. Skip if: You actually want tender, flavorful steak. 📍 The Canadian Brewhouse 📌 Multiple locations #VancouverEats #SteakChallenge #MeatLover #BudgetEats #SkipThis
