"Visiting Kebab Empire in Hell’s Kitchen, I found the 24-hour kebab joint’s menu on point: lamb chops, juices shining, are thrust on blades a foot long and crossed like swords; leg of lamb is hewn in hunks, pressed with crushed cumin seeds, black pepper and salt, then skewered. Both pick up a good marbling of char from the grill — gas, not charcoal, but still the smoke goes deep. Recommended dishes include all of the lamb: cumin lamb, lamb kebab, lamb chop, and lamb shank, and Eater critic Ryan Sutton is also on board." - Stefanie Tuder
