For Eric Wareheim, These Are the Essentials of the Best Steakhouses | Eater

"When I went to Beef 'N Bottle in Charlotte, it felt like a hug — a truly American room full of different kinds of people, offering the comfort, consistency, and joy that kept pulling me back to steakhouses; I loved it. Our server Jerome Williams (who is featured in the book) embodied that warmth — walking up as both server and bartender and saying, “Y’all gonna have a fun night tonight” — and the place’s simple, martini-forward approach exemplified the unifying comfort I value in a steakhouse." - Bettina Makalintal
