There, I was prepared to eat steak twice a day in search of its secret. At Restaurante Baserri Maitea outside Guernica, Juan Antonio Zaldúa served us one gigantic Rubia Gallega (Galician Blonde) rib-eye chop and an even bigger, more marbled German one. Marbling is largely genetic and, as an indicator of quality, a myth; it signals juiciness but not flavor. The leaner, leggy Galician Blonde was just as tender as the fattier German.

Neither boat stood out in the 18-team field...

This much you should know about real surgery: The skin incision is the easiest part. Human skin cuts about like a pork chop (or a Fruit Roll-Up, if you're a vegetarian); a scalpel is usually no sharper than a good kitchen knife. Knowing where and how deep to cut is also super-basic to the practice of surgery, about like starting the engine is to the practice of driving. The skin is (unless...
