A friend recommended Ben and Jack's as an alternative to Peter Luger and an alternative to Wolfgang's.
As I stressed more than I should have about what the guys from land-of-slovenly-dress aka Richmond/Sunset district in San Francisco would wear to a steakhouse that turned out to be ridiculously casual, dumb kid brother focused on getting excited about the bacon, which was delicious.This rib eye, on the other hand, was a monster. It was bigger than my roommate's head, and she's the one that ordered it.
The porterhouse for four came out sizzling, and that first bite of great steak is always a small touch of heaven on earth.
Everything was delicious. In the end, the bastard consultant and I decided that the meat at Peter Luger's was a whisper better, just that much more silky and rich. Still, Ben and Jack's will more than do if you're like me and too lazy to do the reservation dance and make it out to Brooklyn. You can ask one of the two from me, but both at once is not something that will be easily repeated.
