HI all the last couple of weeks myself and some chaps have gone to a friend of ours pub and had dinner, only a small place our sort of friend leases out the food area to some people at the ascot vale hotel . if you google the ascotvale menu you will see all main meals are $12 and $15 including the house special 300gram porterhouse steak with chips and salad and your choice of gravy and they have had these prices for a year $12.00 i would say the cheapest in australia for sure.
interested to here of the cheapest steak meal in other countries ,

That may very well be the cheapest Joe, the best damn staek you could ever have in your life is here.....about 40 miles from where I grew up.
www.cattlemansranch.com/
Make sure to read the "About US" story. This place is way out in BFE. It's so far in the desert that you end up driving dirt roads for about 20 miles.....but it's worth it.
At dusk, I took a date out there when I was "between" wives. I asked for a table next to a scenic window overlooking the beauty of the desert. Things were going real well, great food, great service and great entertainment.
The entertainment was the Bus Boys would clear the tables and any meat scraps that were collected, they put in a food lug. When the lug was full, someone would go to the roof (flat roof) and drop table scraps to the ground just outside of your window. And then the fun really began. Coyotes would come scrambling from the far away bushes to fight each other for the table scraps....right in front of your window.
My date just about crapped her pants, She jumped up and move about 20 feet away. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life.
Needless to say................we never dated again.....which was my calling.....not hers. She was a school teacher Sherri, with no sense of adventure. I noticed when she set her large purse down, she had a box of crayons in it.....that was strike one. Strike two was her jumping up and running away from the table....no one else did......after all, this is Texas. Strike three was the constant barrage I had to listen to on the way back to El Paso (about an hour drive). A man can take only so much.
I think she said she was from California..........strike four.

I loved the story between wives 4 strikes.
yes this place is strange , we have a lot of pubs lets say tuesday night buy 1 get the other for 1/2 price or what ever. but genarally you would pay twice that amount for a steak here.
the strange thing is most pubs do specials to get you in to drink and play the pokies, but this place is separate from thr bar and you can only buy food or coffee there and have no pokies, i must find out more.

I worked in New Orleans for about three years.......it almost killed me with all the drinking one had to do to keep their clients.
One young buck that worked for me invited me out on a Thursday to explain the "Rules of 'Nawlins". I picked him up and off we went. He told me we were "Drinking with Lincoln" that night, and I envisioned drinks now would be $5 a piece, which was pretty steep in those days, I came to that conclusion because Abraham Lincoln's face is on the five dollar bill.......but I was wrong. You pay $5 at the door, and that was the total cost of drinks for the evening.
Like I said, 'Nawlins came close to killing me. But the food is absolutely fantastic. I bought a cookbook at one of the restaurants, and every recipe started with 'FIRST, MELT A POUND OF BUTTER".......the Magic Ingredient.
