Man on meat-only diet says he's mastered cooking steak in hotel rooms
A committed meat-only activist has explained how he keeps his animal consumption as high as possible when travelling the world.
Paul Saladino, who graduated from medical school at the University of Arizona in Tucson, promotes the controversial opinion "that an animal-based diet is the most species-appropriate diet for humans".
The philosophy is one that has gained popularity in recent years, largely because of its promotion by Canadian Jordan Peterson. “I eat beef and salt and water. That's it, and I never cheat. Ever. Not even a little bit,” Peterson wrote in 2018.
Paul is a regular vlogging on Youtube where he discusses the difficulties of keeping things purely meaty while offering tips to those who have also decided to live without vegetables.
One issue Paul faces is that, even when staying in Airbnb and self-catered accommodation, he struggles to find the right pans. The meat-enthusiast refuses to uses Teflon coated cooking implements due to concerns he has about the non-stick surface.

He also brings a small electric stove along for the ride. "You can plug this into an outlet in any hotel room, use your stainless streel pan, and cook steak and whatever you want in your hotel room. It really is an awesome hack," Paul said in Youtube video.
Paul will stop off at a local supermarket - ideally a high-end one such as a Whole Foods - and buy in a large supply of grass fed meat, which he believes is more healthy for him than the grain fed alternative. He will then lug this back to his hotel or Airbnb and fry up a meat feast.
The question of how to travel when sticking to a meat only diet in a world largely designed for omnivores (and the occasional veggie and vegan) is a hot one in the online carnivore community.
One advocate of the diet suggesting employing a Sous Vide Wand boiling decide when heating up an animal based feast in a hotel room that is unhappy with guests producing smells by frying up meat in their rooms. Another writing on a recent Reddit thread suggested buying four McDondald's burgers and then ditching everything but the patties.
The topic of cooking meat in a hotel room was thrust into the spotlight in 2022 with a viral Linkedin thread in which a professional product manager known as Alexander C, shared a post detailing his recipe and method.
In an effort to protect his company's 'P&L' (profit and losses), the keen employee eschewed expensing a pricey meal out while away for work. Instead he decided to buy some chicken breasts from a shop and place them in the hotel kettle to cook, along with a little butter and garlic.
He said: “I’m travelling for work and instead of eating a fancy dinner out, I’ve decided to cook a cheaper meal in the hotel room. Even though the hotel room didn’t have a kitchen, I managed to use the coffee machine to cook chicken with butter and garlic. Although my company allows me to expense dinner while travelling, I wanted to save money because I know that every dollar counts. It’s the little things that get you promoted.”
While it transpired that the post was a joke aimed at lampooning the grind-set style of some committed Linkedin innovators, the accompanying picture of chicken was so viscerally undercooked and his satire so on the nose, it quickly went viral.
Beyond potentially stinking out the place and earning you strange looks from your family, there is another key reason why cooking meat in your hotel room is not a good idea. According to Healthline, a carnivore diet is not ideal for humans.
"No controlled studies support claims that the carnivore diet can help eliminate health issues. It lacks beneficial nutrients, including fiber and plant compounds like antioxidants. It may be unsafe for some people. The carnivore diet consists entirely of meat and animal products, excluding all other foods," the medical publication writes.
