Steak House

The New York Times bestselling author of Foodheim returns to slide into red leather booths across the country in search of the ultimate expression of a beloved American icon: the steak house. In Steak House, Eric Wareheim takes you on a road trip across the country, exploring what these local institutions mean in an age of cookie-cutter restaurants. Join him at New York classics like Peter Luger's, local stalwarts like North Carolina's Beef 'N Bottle, and over-the-top iterations like Bern's in Florida. From these journeys Eric has collected 45 of the best, most decadent recipes, which are accompanied by glorious images of the food, the restaurants, and most importantly the people behind them. Discover why the martini is THE drink to order and why Mexico should be a stop on your next steak house road trip. Hear about Jerome Williams, the bartender and server at Beef 'N Bottle who made Eric start this steak house journey in the first place. When you're ready to make the steak house
