Need red meat opinions!

We aren't doing red meat. But, filet is a solid choice.

You can never go wrong with filet mignon!!

They are both tenderloins. Filet mignon is a smaller part on the end. Chateau briand is the center cut of the tenderloin. I personally do not see why you need to have another meat option. I would probably go with Filet mignon because it has more name recognition for people.

Ooh the chateau!

Chateau if they cook it as a roast medium rare (I prefer rare but MR is safer for guests liking probably) and slice it. Yummmmmm.

Chateau Briand basically is filet mignon. The serving is a little bigger.

Even people who don't love lamb love rack of lamb. Great choice.

Do you need that many options? I think that's more than plenty!

There's virtually no difference. Either will be delicious!

I don't know what the first one is. Lol but filet mingion is always good

Is one of them cheaper than the other? I'd go with that one.

ETA: words

We get 5 options per our contract and yes either one is the same price. We chose lamb for our dad's but wanted a more traditional red meat option as well. This way we have two red meat options and two non-red meat options (plus veggie option).

I would go with the filet just for the sake of name recognition. Everyone is familiar with what filet mignon is, but I would be willing to bet that some of your guests will not have heard of chateaubriand.

I'd probably go with fillet mignon just because more people will recognise what it is. Otherwise just ask your caterer which one people usually prefer.

That's what I've been struggling with because I don't want people to turn their noses up at something they haven't heard of before, but if it tastes better I want them to have the better one! Asking the caterer/venue (same for us) what is more common is a good idea.

I would stick with the filet because people will recognize it

I would go with filet just cause more people know it and will be comfortable picking it

I prefer filet mignon!

I'd go with the filet. People may not get the other just because they aren't familiar, and that's a waste of an option if that happens

I agree you don't need that many options. But I would have a red meat. I've had apx 115 ppl chose the filet mignon. I'm offering chicken and a vegetarian. Only about 20 ppl have picked those.

You really don't need that many options. I think it's confusing to guests, honestly, and it can't help but slow up service.
