"You know you’re eating a great steak frites when, by the third bite, all the elements (meat, fries, butter, sauce, juices) meld together at the end of your fork. At Bar Etoile, it happens in two. The crisp straight-cut fries, perfectly rosy beef, and herb-rich butter seep into one another as you carve toward the center, making each bite more decadent (and messier) than the last. The price might seem a bit steep, but it’s enough to feed two." - sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park, garrett snyder
