Several thoughts:
1) This guy plays up the techniques of Alain Ducasse, says he's going to use Ducasse's methods, then promptly does his own thing.
2) This guy has the knife skills of a child. If you're presenting something that took almost an hour to cook for publication, spend a few seconds on presentation.
3) The best work he did is on those home fries. They look nice.
4) You made a big deal about not having any side dishes, then linked to this article with the potato side dishes.
5) If you're eating a 28-ounce steak at one sitting, you deserve to be a fat slob. If you're eating 28 ounces of beef without any fiber, you deserve to sit on the toilet in agony the next morning trying to pass that brick.
tl;dr: Eat some vegetables or die.

1: The article i posted links directly to ducasse saying the same shit, generally speaking. You can point out this or that difference, but the article ducasse wrote and the steps the forum dude went through are much more similar to each other than either are to common american steak cooking methods.
2: You don't need knife skills to cook a fucking steak.
3: Fuck his idiot home fries, he didn't even caramelize his onions.
4: I was obviously not referring to his idiot side dish.
5: Anything besides meth in moderation.. Although this is not something I do often (cost prohibitive), it is definitely something I would do again. I don't actually eat much red meat, or meat at all, really most of my diet is vegetable matter, but I will eat the fuck out of a 28 ounce steak and then sit on you while you try and breathe enough to call me fat. Also, I have always had a stomach of cast iron (knock on wood). I don't get hot-shits when I eat peppers, and cannot even remember the last time I had nausea, diarrhea, or constipation outside of being actually sick.
