Miami’s Papi Steak restaurant is currently facing massive online backlash for its over-the-top, $1,000 “The Beef Case” steak, which TikTok users are overwhelmingly labeling an overpriced spectacle. If you’ve been scrolling through TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen the videos of this ridiculous display. It’s a prime example of high-roller Miami excess, and frankly, the internet is not holding back its scorn for people actually paying for it and recording it.
Let’s break down exactly what you get for a cool grand. “The Beef Case” is a massive 55-ounce Australian Wagyu tomahawk steak. That sounds like a delicious cut of meat, but the actual cost of the steak seems secondary to the full-blown, minute-long performance that comes with it. This isn’t just dinner. This is theater, not expensive meals from Food Wars.
