About
Who writes Steakpedia
The notes on each steakhouse are signed by four editorial voices. They are pen names for Steakpedia’s editorial desk, not people, and each one looks at a steakhouse from one angle so the guide doesn’t read like a database.
Silas Brand
Silas Brand is a Steakpedia editorial voice. Silas writes about fire — what burns, how the grill is built, and which cuts it suits — for parrillas, asadores, churrascarias, yakiniku and charcoal grills.
Inès Vacher
Inès Vacher is a Steakpedia editorial voice. Inès writes about the animal behind the steak — breed, feeding, ageing and grade — and says plainly when a menu doesn’t state them.
Lena Sterling
Lena Sterling is a Steakpedia editorial voice. Lena writes about the occasion — who to bring, what to share, which evening a steakhouse is for — using only what the sources say about each place.
Hugo Ledger
Hugo Ledger is a Steakpedia editorial voice. Hugo writes about where a steakhouse comes from — its founders, its building, its place in a tradition — and notes it when sources disagree on a date.
How a note is made
No voice has eaten at the places it describes, and no note says it has. Every note is written from the sources listed on that page — the restaurant’s own pages, guides, lists and the press — and an editor checks it before it is published. If a fact isn’t verified, the note leaves it out, and the page says “not stated”.
Visited
When someone from Steakpedia eats at a steakhouse, paying in full and without announcing the visit, the page gets a Visited mark with the date and a first-person note signed with that person’s real name.
No paid rankings
No restaurant pays to be listed, to be written about or to be visited. Each city lists its steakhouses in alphabetical order; the selections (“the longest-aged beef”, “steak over wood fire”…) print the rule that puts a steakhouse there. There are no scores.
