Jennifer's dad has gone from waiting to packing orders and says he's grateful for the support. At every Korean BBQ outing, there is one unscrupulous person at your table who will survey the banchan, grab the dish of japchae and put it near them. Find that person, and take them to Jeon Ju, and order a plate of their perfectly made, Korean-party-ready japchae. Make sure to bring a book or have some reading material on your phone to avoid looking weird eating by yourself.

"A huge percentage of them just disappeared in the last couple of years so finding a restaurant near me is one of the top search terms." "I think it just gives you kind of a restored faith in humanity, right?" said Altes. "I think, with so much going on in the world, that people want some good news, and we need to get it more into the mix."

Jangban Guksu at Kobawoo House

Taste of MP, formerly New Lucky, is a renowned Cantonese food institution in the San Gabriel Valley. Must-try dishes include the silky clam steamed egg, wintermelon soup, salty duck yolk covered pumpkin sticks, and pickled pork belly. They offer affordable lunch specials until 5 pm and stand out by providing complimentary traditional soup during lunch and traditional Chinese dessert with dinner, a rare treat in the area. Cantonese cheung fun (steamed rice roll) is a common snack and dim sum must-order. Typically, the rolls are filled with shrimp, pork, beef, fish, or veggies and topped with a sweet soy sauce. The version at E&J Yummy has a bunched-up texture from the scraping motion used to make them.

Traditional Noodle Soup

— that instead of seeking Biden’s impeachment, he’ll send a criminal referral (again, crimes TBD) to the Justice Department. The hope is that the department is about to come under new management — by a reelected Trump, Mr. “I am your retribution” himself — that will welcome the allegations. The latest and hopefully final blow to the impeachment follies was delivered Wednesday.

The jjajangmyeon isn't a traditional rendition (it uses the same hand-pulled noodles from the jjamppong, for one), but it's addictive eating if you're a fan of the caramelized black bean sauce being rounded out with a bit of sweetness. Bits of grated sweet potato give it a welcome texture that thwarts some of the usual greasiness and gives the jjajang sauce a texture similar to a fine Bolognese. Pho, rice noodles, Vietnamese udon, vermicelli, and porridge can be ordered alongside smoothies, slushies, juices, and milk teas, plus a range of appetizers including beef jerky, fried calamari, and fish sauce wings. Overseen by team members from Henderson’s Pho Little Saigon on Eastern Avenue, lunch specials have already debuted from 8 a.m.

Delicious Food Corner is a chain of Hong Kong-style diners with multiple locations in the San Gabriel Valley. Known for its quick service and budget-friendly prices, the restaurant serves a diverse range of Cantonese and Western dishes. The extensive menu features a variety of options, including pineapple pork buns, congee, clay pot rice, rice rolls, stir-fries, and dumplings.

Tam’s offers three varieties of egg noodles, including wonton-style egg noodles, rice noodles, and flat egg noodles. Henry’s Cuisine is a small restaurant specializing in Cantonese cuisine with a hint of Vietnamese influence. Their menu features classic dishes like XO fried rice, vermicelli noodles, salted egg shrimp, and deep-fried salted pig feet.

There is a wide array of standard classics like pork chop baked tomato rice, pineapple buns with pork cutlet, clay pot rice, congee, noodles, and scallop fried rice. The grilled steak entrees are served with either rice or pasta and come with drinks. There are also an array of Chinese-American dishes like honey-glazed spare ribs and honey walnut shrimp.

Mixed together, it's something like a Korean noodle salad, with gochujang spice binding the entire light and refreshing experience with savory and sweet undertones. The jjampong doesn't skimp on the seafood, and the heat from the spices can reach pretty extreme levels. Worthy side dishes include an order of tangsuyuk (Korean sweet and sour pork) or the Dragon's tender Mongolian Beef. When Erika Altes saw Jennifer Le's TikTok, she urged her own Instagram audience of more than 100,000 people to help the restaurant. But first, she took her family to eat at Lee's to try the food — and told followers of her page, @whiskeyandlace, the meal was delicious.

Sure, Paik’s Noodle House’s jaengban jjajangmyeon could look better — it’s a stir-fried mess of black bean sauce, pork, shrimp and vegetables on a plate intended for two — but it’s likely no one cares when it tastes as good as it does. The slightly spicy version of the Korean Chinese classic is cheap, greasy, carbohydrate-laden junk food of the most crave-worthy order. Whether it's jjajangmyeon or jjamppong, you can't really go wrong with the Korean Chinese options at Lee's Noodles.

Diners can choose to add an egg topping to the steamed rice roll, which brings all the flavors together. The Congee offers humongous portions of wontons, lo mein, fish balls, beef balls, and other Hong Kong-style dishes, but its namesake congee is the star. Congee, pronounced jook in Cantonese, is a porridge made from rice usually served for breakfast or at dim sum.

For dessert, they offer peach gum, a superfood and antioxidant derived from peach and Chinese wild peach trees, which has gained popularity in Chinese traditional medicine in recent years. Tam’s Noodle House opened during the pandemic selling only frozen Hong Kong-style wontons and dumplings. Now that on-site dining is allowed again, the restaurant serves Hong Kong- and Cantonese-style cafe foods like curry fish balls, barbecue pork, beef stew lo mien, steamed rice roll, and Hong Kong-style milk tea.

They also offer a selection of higher-priced fresh seafood options, including garlic-steamed Alaska king crab, lobster, tiger prawns, live fish, Dungeness crab, and various clams. A hallmark of a true Hong Kong-style cafe is a menu with enough variety to give the Cheesecake Factory a run for its money. The menu here, which varies at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, has something for everyone.

The signature char siu barbecued pork uses Duroc pork and is marinated in a family recipe that’s been passed down for more than three decades. The triple-roasted porchetta is marinated overnight, cured, and roasted for three hours in the oven and then smoked. Yukgaejang, or Korean-style spicy beef soup, exists in a gray area of “soups with some noodles” alongside seolleongtang and gukbap where the noodles (usually dangmyeon, or glass noodles) are a relatively minor aspect of the dish. Enter Yuk Dae Jang, which takes one of Korea’s most beloved dishes and adds a healthy helping of wheat flour-based, hand-pulled knife-cut noodles. Traditionalist chefs might be given to pearl-clutching to see Korean royal court food sullied with such nonstandard ingredients as knife-cut noodles in a yukgaejang. With the city’s current obsession with thicker, hand-pulled noodles in noodle soups, however, the reimagining feels timely — and it tastes delicious.

For folks craving traditional Cantonese cuisine or a fusion of Western flavors, Delicious Food Corner has something to satisfy every palate. Mr. Chopsticks has been a mainstay in the area for over three decades and is one of a few Cantonese restaurants that still provides free soup at the start of the meal. The lunch menu includes 40-plus affordable and generously portioned specials such as beef chow fun, kung pao shrimp, chicken wings, and salt and pepper shrimp. With 24-hour advance notice, Mr. Chopsticks prepares its famous seafood winter melon soup from scratch, using ingredients from the restaurant’s garden.

Seafood is a main draw here, including the salt and pepper shrimp, black bean clams, and salty fish fried rice. Hot Spot Nabe is a cozy, family-owned eatery with limited seating that specializes in healthy Cantonese cuisine. Their menu boasts an extensive selection of traditional Cantonese soups, including the meticulously prepared pepper pork belly chicken soup, which requires hours of simmering. Among their most sought-after dishes are the salted shredded chicken, ginger scallion chicken, XO sauce fried rice (also known as drunken cat fried rice), beef stew, and crispy large intestines.

To 2 p.m., plus “family style” dining combos designed for groups of four, six, and eight diners, including options of crispy fried tilapia, salmon, a fish claypot, and salt and pepper squid. Chef Lee’s rendition of the traditional Chinese celebratory dish beggar’s chicken is only available a few times a year and sells out quickly. China Gate has been a fixture in Koreatown for decades, and their jjajangmyeon is as delicious as ever.

May Mei is a solid Cantonese restaurant that has been a local favorite for 15 years. The daily chef specials and long list of Cantonese specialities makes it a neighborhood must. There are many renditions of popular tofu dishes on the menu, like fish and tofu in black bean sauce, and  Cantonese-style soups that can take hours to make, like the crab meat fish maw soup.

The two well-deserved Trump impeachments are so different from Mayorkas’ and the Biden attempt they shouldn’t even be called tit for tat. Both Senate and House Republicans are harrumphing that Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer of New York, and his fellow Senate Democrats, set a terrible precedent by dumping the impeachment case against Mayorkas without a full trial. Of course, that’s the opposite of the achievement they promised two years ago, ahead of the midterm elections that gave them control of the House. Back then, some chest-beaters were vowing to impeach President Biden as well as members of his Cabinet, starting with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas, the administration’s border security czar, and sweeping up Atty. Gen. Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher A. Wray (a Donald Trump holdover, by the way), Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken and Lord knows who else.

Their compact dim sum menu combines beloved classics with unique creations, like the sticky rice with chicken, salted egg yolk, and mushrooms wrapped in lotus leaf and torched tableside with molten mozzarella. Chef Peter Lai offers off-menu dishes for dinner, including the crispy flower chicken and Dungeness crab curry with pan-fried vermicelli. The entire menu is based on traditional Chinese medicinal principles meant to balance the body for optimal health.

Bistro 1968 is considered one of the most expensive dim sum restaurants in Los Angeles, but its specialty items and high quality distinguish it from others. Bistro 1968 stands out as one of the few dim sum restaurants serving dim sum all day. This Korean import serves Ham Heung-style mulnaengmyeon, where the noodles are typically made from sweet potato starch.

The Congee

Sure, the clam knife-nut noodles are a direct translation of the restaurant's name, but the dish with more relevance for LA residents might be the milmyeon, or Busan-style cold noodles. Similar to naengmyeon, the meaty broth uses more flour in the noodles and comes laced with a healthy dollop of gochujang to spice up the proceedings. Kobawoo's most famous non-bossam dish is the jangban guksu, and with good reason. The cold, chewy acorn-starch noodles are counter-balanced with the crunchy texture of thinly sliced red cabbage, carrots and cucumbers.

Two months after House Republicans made Mayorkas the first Cabinet member to be impeached in nearly 150 years, they finally sent the patently political charges to the Democratic-controlled Senate, which took just three hours to dismiss them. The Senate found that the two charges — that he “willfully and systemically refused to comply with Federal immigration laws” and breached the public trust — didn’t clear the Constitution’s high bar. “I wanted to share the video because their food is so good and put in a lot of work for it, very authentic,” said Jennifer Le, the daughter of the owners of Lee’s Noodle House. "All of us came out of the pandemic discovering that the restaurants we used to go to may not be open anymore," said digital marketer Greg Jarboe.

The dish is deceptively simple, but Ojangdong’s refreshing rendition of both bibimnaengmyeon (spicy Korean cold noodles) and mulnaengmyeon merit a try. In the latter dish, Ojangdong’s fantastic, chewy noodles and the depth of flavor in the beef broth align to give Yu Chun a serious run for the city’s best. When it comes to noodles from East Asian cultures, Korean cuisine boasts a staggering breadth of flavors and ways to enjoy the starchy staple at prices in Los Angeles that are generally reasonable.

The place serves traditional herbal teas and herbal medicinal soups, but the star dish is the clay pot rice. A Hong Kong specialty, clay pot rice (bao zai fan) is a one-pot meal that is similar to Korean bibimbap. The bottom of the rice is crispy while the rest of the rice is moist and steamed with ingredients like mushroom and bamboo shoots, Chinese sausage and pork ribs, or salted fish with ground pork and tofu. Garden Cafe is another Hong Kong-style cafe with a menu as big as the Cheesecake Factory’s.

But even with stiff competition, many Cantonese restaurants have been able to stand the test of time. Jennifer Le posted about her family's restaurant back in January, urging people to try their Vietnamese restaurant in Santa Rosa, California. Never mind that Senate Republicans let the former president off the hook each time. But MAGA Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio said Democrats “will come to regret” dismissing the Mayorkas impeachment articles, when a Republican-run Senate someday does the same to impeachment articles from a Democratic-majority House. Democrats take governing too earnestly to impeach a Republican on such overtly political grounds as those against Mayorkas. The clownish lead investigator, House Oversight Committee chair and Fox News regular Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, last month told donors in a fundraising letter — notice a pattern here, Republican leaders playing to monied interests?

"And it wasn't just, like, one solid weekend of business. It's been weeks of business, which has, I think, you know, changed their entire business from closing and being able to stay open, which is incredible," Altes said.

Classic flavors include chicken, abalone, pork, scallions, ginger, and thousand-year-old egg. Korean banquet noodles, or janchi guksu, are proof that Korean flavors aren’t necessarily a dialed-up, in-your-face affair. With a helping hand from zucchini, puffy morsels of fried bean curd and zucchini for texture, it’s a slightly unorthodox but delicious rendition of the Korean wedding favorite. Noodle Bistro, despite its name, specializes in the art of Cantonese steamed cuisine.

The Conservatory at One Sansome

Martinez says head bartender Simone Mims, who’s previously worked at Palette, Foreign Cinema, and Blackbird, has had an impact on the cocktail menu, which will have 16 drinks to start, beyond the aforementioned martinis. The cocktails will be a play on classic drinks such as the Key, which incorporates cognac and scotch, together with Strega, an amaro, and orange bitters, meant to be a play between a Manhattan and a negroni. Off the cocktail menu, there will be a mix of wine options, from well-known producers like Matthiasson Wines to up-and-coming wineries or natural winemakers like Jolie-Laide, with bottles that start in the $40 range, and glasses that start at $12. There will be a rotating beer tap of local brands such as Fort Point Beer Company, Original Pattern Brewing, and more, as well as a Mims Cup, a play on Mims’ name and the Pimms cup, made with Pimm, strawberry, cucumber, and ginger ale, also served on tap. There are also some nonalcoholic drink options, featuring house-made infusions that will be made throughout the year, such as a tea infusion and a hibiscus infusion for drinks.

New restaurant and bar in San Francisco's Financial District looks to show off the best of the city.

With over 20 years in the culinary industry, Holly stands at the forefront of Culinary Services at Holbrook House, the Conservatory, and One Sansome. A San Francisco native, Holly's passion for the culinary arts was ignited early, driving her to master her skills at the renowned California Culinary Academy. Her journey saw her at the helm in James Beard award-winning restaurants and Michelin-starred establishments, including Bar Agricole, Delfina, Aziza, and Michael Mina. Notably, as the executive chef at Trou Normand, she initiated one of the Bay Area's pioneering in-house charcuterie programs. Now, as the Director of Culinary Services, Holly continues to captivate with her innovative use of local ingredients and her deep appreciation for seasonal flavors. The Holbrook House is the beating heart of the reborn San Francisco Financial District; a sophisticated throwback to a gilded era.

Flip the switch (left for bubbly, right for gin), and a globe-shaped bulb illuminates, prompting a bartender to wheel over a 1920s-era vintage cart with seven kinds of sparkling wine by the glass ($14 to $58 for Dom Perignon) to complement the upscale American menu. The martini cart offers an array of gins and vodkas, with garnishes for the bartender to prepare your cocktail tableside ($16 and up). Holbrook House, the swanky bar and restaurant that opened Wednesday in the Financial District, has marble floors and two-person booths upholstered in blue satin. Guests dining at select tables need only flip a switch to call for Champagne or another martini. One of the most historic spaces in Downtown San Francisco will soon have an ultra-luxe tenant with capacity for as many as 2,000 guests, when restaurant and events venue Holbrook House takes up residence in early September.

Hernan, originally from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and proud of his LatinX heritage, brings a rich cultural background and a passion for gastronomy to his career in the hospitality industry. With extensive experience in renowned establishments such as Eleven Madison Park, Maison Premiere, and Cosme, Hernan has honed his skills as a General Manager and Beverage Director. He has received accolades for his own restaurant, Hampton Street Vineyard, and has recently joined Cotogna in San Francisco. With his expertise and unwavering commitment to excellence, Hernan now takes on the role of opening General Manager and Beverage Director at Holbrook House, poised to make a significant impact in the industry. Stevens tells Eater, "We want to be a place that people can go, at any time of day," and there will be dishes of different price points available for all meals and appetites.

Splashy New Bar and Restaurant Holbrook House Opens In Downtown SF Next Week With Martini and Champagne Call Buttons

As the Chronicle tells us today (Eater got in for some early pictures as well), the elegant, fern-topped central bar at Holbrook House seats 24 people, and in addition to 60 table seats, there are 24 more in an outdoor patio area. We lead the way in building a thriving downtown where business gets done, people feel welcome, come to explore, and make memories. The Conservatory at One Sansome, which has often had palm trees in it, is also one of San Francisco’s privately owned public open spaces, or POPOs—and Holbrook House will spill into it when the venue opens Sept. 6. All the tables in the 60-seat dining room at Holbrook House have little switches built into them, one saying Martini, the other Champagne.

It's part of a $23 million renovation that began last year on this and the 42-story Citibank tower next door. Holbrook House, which we first caught wind of in May of last year, is one of several splashy openings in SF's still beleaguered downtown, with several bar owners and restaurateurs betting big that the area is going to be on the upswing soon. Located in the heart of the San Francisco Financial District within The Conservatory at One Sansome, Holbrook House serves California cuisine that celebrates local and seasonal ingredients. Observers hope it heralds a new era of elegance for the city’s beleaguered Financial District, as Downtown San Francisco strives to cement itself as a high-end nightlife destination, with openings of new venues, including the Dawn Club, Felix and Bar Sprezzatura.

In keeping with the lifestyles of FiDi workers, breakfast will have a number of options, whether it’s a grab-and-go Craftsman and Wolves pastry and Sightglass Coffee to take back to a work desk, or something more substantial to eat at the restaurant or in the atrium. There will also be yogurt and granola, fruit, and a seasonal toast, such as a tomato toast served on bread from Josey Baker Bread. Three egg dishes are also featured on the menu, as well as heavier, brunch-like options, such as a duck fat hash served with duck confit and poached eggs, or a pork schnitzel with a fried egg, if diners want to linger over breakfast.

These are meant to be like quick-service call buttons for these items — they each turn on a different light that summons either the Champagne cart, or the Martini cart, which will come to you for tableside service. It sounds like no one will be asking "gin or vodka?" though, because the cart will just be offering a selection of gins and vermouths, as well as garnishes — which is how it should be. We’re a nonprofit community benefit district working to enhance the downtown core, the traditional Financial District and historic Jackson Square through public/private partnerships, placemaking, activating the public realm, clean and safe operations, marketing support and more. We are the catalyst in building a vibrant community where business gets done, where people come to explore, where everyone feels welcome and memories are made. The ground-floor bar and restaurant is led by Philip Siegel, a veteran of the Julia Morgan Ballroom and the Merchants Exchange Club. The unusual design feature is among the five-star guest amenities built to match the grandeur of the expansive hall built to house a bank at 1 Sansome St. back in 1910.

The food menu, which will have options from morning to midnight, was created by chef Holly Stevens, a veteran of the kitchens of Aziza, Michael Mina, and Delfina. Seasonal toasts on Josey Baker bread will be part of the morning offerings along with egg dishes and Craftsman & Wolves pastries. Lunch will include a pork-and-beef burger, a fried chicken sandwich, as well as oyster and caviar service that will extend into the evening. Events in the Conservatory’s graceful atrium put guests at the center of it all, in what feels like an elegant outdoor agora, bathed in sunlight yet protected from the elements by sparkling glass above.

Standing for generations as the nerve center of the San Francisco Financial District, The Conservatory's graceful architecture - punctuated by granite-clad 38-foot Doric columns - and unique indoor/outdoor nature makes the venue one of the City's most coveted gathering spaces. Boasting a standing capacity of more than 2,000 guests, on site-access to BART and Muni, and its position just four blocks from Moscone Center, no other San Francisco event facility is so uniquely prepared to host the most complex and important events. The Conservatory is also the home to the sumptuous and buzzy Holbrook House bar and restaurant, a triumph of design that burst onto the scene in 2023 to universal acclaim.

It always helps to have a gimmick when you're opening something new in this town, and the minds behind Holbrook House — the grand new restaurant opening September 6 in the old bank building at One Sansome — have come up with a clever one. Thoughtfully reimagined and fully restored in 2023, The Conservatory is a triumph of design, vision, and creative energy. Events are executed with unparalleled professionalism and total discretion, helmed by San Francisco hospitality veterans with deep experience leading marquee properties such as the Julia Morgan Ballroom and the Olympic Club. Fast-growing AI firm Anthropic is subleasing Slack's former HQ at 500 Howard; the feds are considering moving marijuana out of the list of Schedule I drugs; and westbound I-80 will be closed around the Carquinez Bridge for five days starting tonight.

Anchoring one of the City’s most important civic gathering spaces in the expansive Conservatory at One Sansome, the Holbrook House is an exclusive gathering place for locals and those who wish they were. The signature space features one of San Francisco’s most jaw-dropping bars and the sumptuous environmental design of Jeff Schlarb Design Studio. To your martini service, add a caviar "bump," a $10 serving of fish eggs from the California Caviar Company scooped onto the back of your hand (to be eaten, not snorted). A 2022 San Francisco Chronicle article teased the project, with Spiegel calling it an alternative to the neighborhood’s hotels—a Gatsby-esque destination where people drink martinis and champagne. In addition to being luxurious, Holbrook House is centrally located, situated above the Montgomery BART Station and just off Market Street.

Her journey saw her at the helm in James Beard award-winning restaurants and Michelin-starred establishments, including Bar Agricole, Delfina, Aziza, and Michael Mina. Notably, as the executive chef at Trou Normand, she initiated one of the Bay Area's pioneering in-house charcuterie programs. Now, as the Director of Culinary Services, Holly continues to captivate with her innovative use of local ingredients and her deep appreciation for seasonal flavors. The Holbrook House is the beating heart of the reborn San Francisco Financial District; a sophisticated throwback to a gilded era.

The restaurant is part of a $23 million makeover of the lobby at One Sansome that transforms the conservatory into a space that’s open to the public during the day, with the ability to pivot to private events such as weddings and fundraisers. It’s an addition to the bar, inspired by the grand hotels of Europe, says general manager and beverage director Hernan Martinez. The cleverness is fueled even further by the addition of two light switches available at the booths — the flip of one designated switch will turn on a light meant to summon a Champagne cart to your tableside. There are seven different Champagne and sparkling wine options by the glass, four available half-bottles, and a list of 30 producers for the full Champagne menu, Martinez says. For those deciding to flip on the martini switch, there will be a selection of gins and vermouths, a rotating cast of bitters, and house-made garnishes where visitors can pick and choose their accoutrements, or go with the bar’s classic and not-so-classic martinis on offer.

Its latest transformation includes an oval-shaped bar, forest green old-fashioned barbershop-style chairs and lots of brass. Besides caviar, expect options such as escargot and a fun “french-fry flight” featuring sweet potato fries and two styles of potato-based fries cut in different ways, served with aioli. The skylighted "conservatory" area just beyond the restaurant can also be transformed into an event space with a capacity of 2,000, and the team says they already have some bookings this fall. The restaurant has been incorporated into the grand "conservatory" of One Sansome, in the 1910 neo-classical building that was originally home to Anglo & London Paris National Bank, and later Crocker National Bank.

Lunch, however, is where the more luxe dishes start to come into play, leading into the afternoon. There will be staples, of course, such as four different kinds of salads, four sandwiches, a double patty pork-and-beef burger, and a fried chicken sandwich with kohlrabi slaw on a brioche bun. Larger format dishes will be rotating, but expect items like a Petrale sole or mussels with sungold tomatoes, fennel, white wine, and basil, Stevens says. On the fancier side of things, lunch is where oyster and caviar service begins, with caviar served with deviled quail eggs and duck-fat fried hash browns, rather than the more traditional blini. Crowned by a soaring glass atrium that floods the fully unobstructed 8,100 square feet of primary space with natural light, The Conservatory offers a one-of-a-kind guest experience for the most exclusive weddings, corporate events, nonprofit galas and fundraisers.

Hernan, originally from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and proud of his LatinX heritage, brings a rich cultural background and a passion for gastronomy to his career in the hospitality industry. With extensive experience in renowned establishments such as Eleven Madison Park, Maison Premiere, and Cosme, Hernan has honed his skills as a General Manager and Beverage Director. He has received accolades for his own restaurant, Hampton Street Vineyard, and has recently joined Cotogna in San Francisco. With his expertise and unwavering commitment to excellence, Hernan now takes on the role of opening General Manager and Beverage Director at Holbrook House, poised to make a significant impact in the industry. Stevens tells Eater, "We want to be a place that people can go, at any time of day," and there will be dishes of different price points available for all meals and appetites.

The only universal feature of these variations is that they are at least 2 inches thick. The Delmonico steak served at Delmonico's, an impressive 18-ounce cut of boneless ribeye, is easily that thick. It is priced at $75 and is still deemed the restaurant's specialty.

Old Homestead Steakhouse

Soon after it opened in 1827, the café became a valued part of New York's nascent dining scene. Delmonico’s is frequently billed as America’s first restaurant. Before Delmonico’s it was all lunch-pails and cold sandwiches at lunch, and perhaps an oyster refectory or two. And Delmonico’s is still there, still in downtown Manhattan, down where the city grid goes cockamamie and mountains of money are made, where steaks are cut thick and the lobster comes coddled in a puff pastry. In 1860, the restaurant held an event for some 3,000 people, one of which was Albert Edwards, Prince of Wales. Famously, the evening began with part of the building's dance floor collapsing.

Early menus included some familiar foods

It seems unlikely that today’s Hudsons, Grants, and Taylors will frequent Delmonico’s. For one, that pied à terre apartment has been turned, like the rest of the building, into luxury condos. For another, the Continental cuisine offered by Delmonico’s is no longer the preferred cuisine of the famous and semi-famous, having been replaced by a sort of hyperbolic social media-friendly maximalism. (We see you, Bad Roman.) It’s all neon lights and monstera now. Max Tucci is the modern proselytizer for what he calls “the Delmonico way.” He’s an author who loves spinning tales of Delmonico’s in its glory years.

What It Was Like To Eat At The First Steakhouse

Thankfully, plenty of sources survive from this time, allowing us to paint a picture of what eating in America's first steakhouse was like. Ranhofer was a French chef who had learnt his trade in Paris. After moving to the United States, he soon found himself working at Delmonico's where he gained a reputation as America's first superstar chef. Ranhofer's excellent cooking was one of the main reasons he attained such fame.

Another was his willingness to create dishes that catered to the tastes and whims of his regular patrons. The chef's creations included the now famous chicken à la king and lobster Newburg. Some people even suggest Ranhofer created the popular dessert, baked Alaska. As we've seen, dining at Delmonico's was an expensive business with patrons being charged over $1,750 when splashing out. Those wishing to hire out Delmonico's had to be prepared to spend even more. This was highlighted by a banquet held by Sir Samuel Morton Peto in 1865 at the steakhouse.

The New York Times' first restaurant review was published in 1859 and featured a round-up of the city's leading institutions, including Delmonico's. One of the unnamed reporter's first comments revolves around the steakhouse's reputation as a fine-dining destination. They note that such a reputation makes for intimidating dining; Delmonico's waiters were known to sneer if patrons asked for a low quality wine or did not order their dishes in the "correct" sequence. That being said, once patrons had ordered, they could expect the best service imaginable.

During this event, various dishes were served, including salmon à la Rothschild, pigeon, and duck. This decadent feast supposedly cost Peto $20,000 — that's over $380,000 in today's money. It does very well with marinades and makes a great cut for tacos, whether you treat it as a slow-cooked meat or grill it. There's one steak cut, though, that's more recent — way more recent — to the point where it's barely older than the iPod. This is the flat iron steak, which isn't just one of the best cuts of steak for a dinner party, but also a triumph of meat science. Incredibly, those intrepid meat researchers succeeded beyond anyone's wildest dreams.

Even if you don’t care about Albert Einstein’s smoking pipe, you’ll have a great meal here. A huge painting depicting the haute monde overlooks a refurbished dining room. It’s a scene from sometime vaguely in the past, when people could still smoke inside. Another, newer, portrait on the opposite wall mirrors the Delmonico’s of today. It’s notably more diverse, and there’s even a smartphone on the table, but no cigarettes—or vapes—in sight. These days, you’re unlikely to find Taylor Swift sitting under the high ceilings and brand new bubble chandeliers, spooning Lobster Newburg into her mouth.

Heavy testing revealed one previously undiscovered cut

The balls often involved a nine course Delmonico's supper that was served on gold plates. One of the Patriarch Balls, held in 1882, featured exquisite dishes such as truffled turkey, foie gras pâté, and truffled capons. Due to Ranhofer's creativity, patrons at Delmonico's were treated to a menu rich in innovation. This proved to be as great an allure as the promise of exceptional steaks. Indeed, Delmonico's was famed for its ability to serve hundreds of guests with distinctly elaborate dishes, making it the foremost establishment when one aimed to impress.

In fact, Delmonico’s has gone through so many evolutions one wonders if the precursor would recognize its descendant as kin at all. Perhaps Delmonico’s is more an idea than it is a single lineage. Before these experiments, the chuck (aka the shoulder area of the cow) was considered good only for things like ground beef for hamburgers. But what Calkins and Johnson discovered in 2001 involved a particular part of the chuck called the top blade that had largely been overlooked for its high degree of connective tissue. It required a significant amount of skill from butchers, but the end result was more than worth it. It was probably of little comfort to Delmonico's patrons that a great deal of the restaurant's earnings were spent on running costs.

In The New York Times' 1859 review, it's suggested that the restaurant located in Broadway demanded an annual rent of $10,000, over $375,000 today. The most popular of all Delmonico's vegetable dishes spotlights the humble potato. Delmonico's potatoes, as the dish was known, was a simple dish of mashed potatoes covered in breadcrumbs and melted cheese. It was beloved by many patrons, most notably President Abraham Lincoln. Prior to Delmonico's, most Americans ate a cold, packed lunch — usually sandwiches they'd prepared in the morning. However, the restaurant's location in New York's commercial district soon saw locals exchanging their sandwiches for sit down, hot lunches consisting of French classics.
