10 Tableside Preparations In NYC, Ranked From Most Impressive To Least Necessary - New York - The Infatuation

"There’s a lot of silliness at Beefbar, the Tribeca branch of an international clubstaurant. But nothing is sillier or less necessary than the tableside pour of Le Sauce Beefbar on their croque sando, a bland little sandwich of cured beef on toasted milk bread, which comes arranged on the plate like a cube with an open top. A server comes along to pour the sauce out of a gravy boat, and because the sandwich doesn’t form a perfect seal with the plate or with itself, the sauce goes all over the plate and sogs up the bottom of the sandwich. A ramekin would’ve done just fine." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, will hartman
