"My platonic ideal of steak is at the Palm. Yes, that chain restaurant with goofy caricatures all over the wall. But a meal there — no matter where in the world — has never disappointed me, with tender, perfectly medium rare, and crazy charred New York strip that’s always aged for a minimum of 35 days ($99.50 for 36 boneless ounces). Last week’s steak was accompanied by a massive lobster, which servers graciously deshell for you, and crunchy, creamy fries. If you go to the one in Tribeca, you’ll see my goofy father and brother on the wall — that’s how much my family eats here." - Eater Staff
