"If the reason you were headed to Locust was for the fun that comes with the meal, Fancypants will sub in nicely. Where Locust gives you comic book-like instructions to eat a beef tartare handroll, Fancypants sends you an intermezzo cone with coconut parsnip foam sticking out of a Hot Wheels-esque ice cream truck. The red walls, bold cocktails, and option to share a 32-ounce tomahawk steak are quite different than the seafood-heavy slate at Locust, but eating lasagna noodles made out of turnip shavings has a similar shock and awe factor." - ann walczak
