The Tomahawk

A quirky little dessert like chocolate slab doesn’t follow a normal meal. In fact, it shouldn’t actually follow 1.7kgs of steak either but oh hell, whatever.

The Tomahawk, as it’s affectionately known, is an unwritten Chophouse speciality.

This being, it's not actually on the menu and you only get told about it if you look 'man' enough. You also get a hat if you can finish the whole thing yourself, which apparently THEN earns you a beer each time you walk through the door.

It’s clearly a very special club.

As The Chophouse doesn’t stock many of these, they're usually quite hard to get hold of. Most are reserved for pre-orders or go to those whom the waiters deem worthy. They also cost around $170, so are certainly not for the faint-hearted.

Although huge, The Chophouse has actually imported a special kiln-like oven from the US to cook these huge slabs of meat up in just 20 minutes (at heats of up to 2000C!) Apparently, as a result of the high temperatures, quick cooking speed, rising and falling infra-red heat, the meat is unbelievably tender... so, clearly the oven can handle this huge chunk of meat with ease...

The only question is, can you?
