Meet the man who's reviewed over 150 steak sangas around Perth

Plus what's on around Perth this week.

August 20, 2025

If you’ve spent any time scrolling Perth’s foodie scene on Instagram, chances are you’ve stumbled across a bloke reviewing steak sandwiches with a cheeky grin, a cold pint, and a quickfire delivery that’s gained him thousands of loyal followers in just a few short years.

Stoked to sit down with the man himself last week for a couple of quiet ones to talk about life as “the steak sandwich guy”, putting on real world events offering a great steak sandwich + pint deal, and his schmick new hat (which, if you’re reading this before 9am, you might still able to grab for yourself).

Troy Mutton, Editor-In-Chief, Perth is OK!
