tanzer22pilot Posted July 4, 2014 #226 Share Posted July 4, 2014 This is a thread about Chops:rolleyes: Many people could care less about Cats or Hairspray.....:rolleyes: Agree. I was trying to get this thread back on topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gw2fll Posted July 4, 2014 #227 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I have not read the entire thread (but searched for "martini" just in case). Wonder if they will still keep the Lemon Grass Martini? Love it - it helps offset the "cost" of the experience and make it even more special. We have tried ordering the martini elsewhere with no success. Wish you could just stop by for an appetizer and martini or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabean Posted July 4, 2014 #228 Share Posted July 4, 2014 In the pic with the tator tots, what is the meat with the bone sticking out? Is it the veal chop? And was it good? It's looks delicious. Can't wait to try the new menu. Thank you for sharing all this great info. Yes, that's a veal Chop. I didn't eat it but the person who ordered it had it both nights we went so apparently he liked it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priusprof Posted July 4, 2014 #229 Share Posted July 4, 2014 The veal chop @ Chops is my favorite entree.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the cuts of meat that are included and which are charged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LMaxwell Posted July 5, 2014 #232 Share Posted July 5, 2014 The new menu is attached to this post: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=42678037&postcount=21 I'll admit, I am caving to some of the new salad and appetizer options. Not thrilled about the steaks on offer, but that veal chop looks worth a shot. Not to be too picky about it...my favorite fries on the ship are the "Steak fries" that only seem to come with the "always available" burger sliders in the MDR; any chance those have made it to this new menu or are they shoestring or something else?

leetchie69 Posted July 6, 2014 #235 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Does anyone happen to know what the gluten-free and vegetarian options are? On the menu it says "ask your waiter", wondering if anyone has :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyD Posted July 18, 2014 #236 Share Posted July 18, 2014 It really is sad that Carnival, which is known for the "wal mart" of the cruse industry :rolleyes: serves a USDA Prime cut of beef for 35.00 while RCI charges you 35.00 PLUS makes you pay for a better cut of beef. 35.00 for a sirloin????? REALLY?????????? I don't know if I would be so harsh as we cruise on Carnival when the situation arises, but I would say that their steakhouse is outstanding! I prefer it to Chops.

peteukmcr Posted July 18, 2014 #237 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) What's a tater tot? Looks like something deep fried, so cheap and unhealthy. As for the sides, very disappointing. 2 lots of spinach? The appetisers are equally disappointing and uninspiring. JMHO. Not worth $35 pp to me. Cookies for dessert, come on, it's supposed to be an upscale experience not dunkin donuts. Edited July 18, 2014 by peteukmcr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer it to Chops. Oh i wasnt being harsh on Carnival at all. I too have heard many times from people that frequent both cruise lines that their steakhouses are better than Chops.

dbali Posted July 18, 2014 #239 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Do you seriously get cookies for dessert? Is there no other options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCruisinNana Posted July 18, 2014 #240 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Do you seriously get cookies for dessert? Is there no other options? There are several options for dessert. We had the new menu on Navigator in June. The new appetizers are great, especially the warm goat cheese salad and the bacon. Sounds weird but the pork belly bacon is like a meaty sparerib without the bone. They have a new way of cooking the steaks which we didn't like as well.

Cookies for dessert, come on, it's supposed to be an upscale experience not dunkin donuts. Tater tots are a staple of "what do we feed the kids when we don't feel like cooking?" It is a frozen potato concoction. Potatoes are chemically peeled, chopped up, mixed with a little cooking oil, reformed into small log shapes, rolled in crumbs, and deep fat fried. Then they are frozen and put into plastic bags and sold in the freezer section of your nearby supermarket. You take them home and reheat them in your oven. :rolleyes: :eek: Edited July 18, 2014 by Merion_Mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARCruisinNana Posted July 18, 2014 #245 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) I thought its a candied bacon Dish. Not pork belly. They are different cuts. You may be right, but I thought it said pork belly. I may be wrong , but it wasn't like any bacon I have ever had. I just checked the menu and it described it as Berkshire pork. I believe that the waiter described it as coming from the pork belly. Looked up Berkshire pork and it talked about pork belly. It was sweet and very tasty.

Nothing else cooks a steak as well as open flame grilling, even flame broiling can't be done. No matter what else they do it can't make it very good on a ship.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums It's anything but that simple. Pork belly is a larger portion then bacon itself. While they are similar they are not the same. And here in the US bacon is bacon pork belly is pork belly. 2 different products and packages. I know this because I cool them both often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
