Yesterday, we hit Nirvana. We went to Peter Luger. It was better than the last two times I’ve been there (and those trips were just fine). But for the first time ever, we ordered the “small Steak” it was absolutely phenomenal. A dream steak. Aged to perfection, a wonderful broiled taste, cooked exactly the way I ordered it – medium. Juicy, savory. The lady who runs the place told me she goes to Manhattan to specially get those shell steaks. I’ve never had a better steak in my life, including every other visit to Luger’s. And also for the first time, I had the french fries which come with it (it costs $31). They were spectacular. Crisp on the outside, juicy inside, the french fries’ French Fry. They go in the Pantheon. Food doesn’t get any better than this. I wouldn’t trade this one meal at Luger for unlmited dining at all the trendy Per Se’s in the world.

I was about to make the exact same comment as mattatouille above until i just read his comment. haha
sounds amazing. I can’t wait to try it!
Peter Luger epitomizes a steakhouse in terms of the look and the meat. When you go, the Porterhouse and potatoes are must-order items, but this sounds like a good option.
