Review: Hudson Yards’s Belcampo Poorly Executes Its Menu of Ethical Meat - Eater NY
"Belcampo’s East Coast debut sounded like it could be game-changing entrant into New York’s meat scene. It is not. The restaurant, tucked away in an almost hidden corner of Hudson Yards, is simply where to get an affordable steak or burger in an expensive mall. The dining room piece de resistance is a giant glowing sign above the bar that says “BELCAMPO.” This does not seem like the Belcampo Jonathan Gold once wrote about. The late, great, Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic sang praises of beef heart and goat tartare and “gloriously pink and juicy” roast beef on buttered toast. Other West Coast locations tout slow-cooked lamb with harissa and pork porterhouses. There are no such wonders at the Hudson Yards Belcampo. This is not date food, nor the type of food whose quality would cause a cold-hearted skeptic to adopt a more ethical style of eating. This is shopping food." - Ryan Sutton
