Wolftrap Steakhouse Championships finalists ready for 'steak-off'

Led by MasterChef SA judge Pete Goffe-Wood, the Wolftrap Steakhouse Championships judges have selected the top three steakhouses in South Africa, ready for their final 'steak-off' in early May 2013. The winner will be announced at an awards function in Cape Town on 8 May.

Top three steakhouses (in alphabetical order):

Carne SA (Cape Town)
Little Havana (Umhlanga Rocks)
The Local Grill (Parktown North)

Starting with the open round, where the public nominated their favourites, nearly 200 establishments were named as contenders. The top five from this nomination round then joined an expert's selection of award-winning steakhouses and went into the play-off round in April, where 14 steakhouses went head-to-head during personal visits by the judges.

Steak-Off Dates:

The Local Grill (Parktown North): Wednesday 1 May at 12.30pm
Little Havana (Umhlanga Rocks): Thursday 2 May at 12.30pm
Carne SA (Cape Town): Friday 3 May at 7pm
