The Traveling Hungryboy

Last time I was in Brooklyn, I couldn't get into this place because of the huge line (178 Broadway, 718-387-7400). It was largely filled with tourists from what I could see, which made me think twice about coming here today. Still, this is a one Michelin-starred institution bearing praise from the likes of Zagat and the James Beard Foundation, so I had to at least give it a try.

It's definitely a unique place. It's in an old German style beer hall, it's cash only, and the menu doesn't feature different cuts of beef, but just different sizes of their porterhouse. They bring it out to you pre-sliced and sizzling in butter.

The good thing was that the fat was tasty and plentiful, with the charred edges being the best. But mine wasn't very evenly cooked, and some parts of the steak were rather difficult to eat too. Really, Michelin? I suppose it does have character, but I won't be going back. Or if I do, it would be for lunch so that I can try their burger or prime rib.
