Re: Peter Luger\'s TR (Brooklyn)
[ QUOTE ]
is this place really that good? my chef buddy went there and said he was underwhelmed, which caused me to avoid it. [/ QUOTE ] You have to appreciate it for what it is. Most chefs are going to stick their nose up at it due to the relatively simplicity of the menu. But what they do, they do very well IMO. I've been there twice, and for me, I enjoy the atmosphere, the old bar, the cold cold Brooklyn Lagers, and of course the steaks. If you go expecting Craftsteak or Delmonicos types of experiences, you'll be disappointed. Doesn't mean that one is necessarily better than the other overall though.

Re: Peter Luger\'s TR (Brooklyn)
The problem is that Peter Luger is built up by some people as blowing all other places away. If you just go in there expecting to eat some very good food, you will not be disappointed.

[/ QUOTE ] The food is fantastic. Are you sure he went to Brooklyn and not Great Neck? My understanding is that Great Neck is not as good for some reason (I have never eaten at the Great Neck location).

whaddya think of mortons? Ive never been to a chain steakhouse, and was thinking of hitting mortons or ruths (probably mortons). [/ QUOTE ] guids, Of the "chain" steakhouses, I prefer the Palm. Last time I was in STL I went to Mike Shannon's and was pretty disappointed. The steak was not cooked right, had sat for a while before they brought it to me, and didn't seem like it would've been that great regardless.
