Craving....
....Blue Ribbon's steak tartar. Hype alone has 21 Club a top city favorite, but my money lies with Blue Ribbon. The steak comes lightly seasoned with a creamy dressing, capers, onion and maybe parsley. I ignore the cornichons, but the tangy side of an excellent Dijon mustard adds another dimension to the dish. I've pushed this favorite on about five people over the course of time who claimed to not even like steak tartar and they end up fighting me over it.
The dish is taken over the top with thin waffle potato chips. The creamy tartar, the tangy Dijon, the salty and crunchy chip.
Looks like you'll know where to find me this Saturday night.
Have you had the tartare at Les Enfants Terribles on the Lower East Side? It's absolutely delicious - done with sort of French/African spices and served with crispy yucca chips.
