DING DING DING...We have a new champion! Benjamin Steakhouse is another Peter Luger's clone...but they said "I can do it a little bit better." And they nailed it. But first, lets just remember that the Yankees love to choke:
We were early to our reservation and were warmly greeted and sent to the bar to wait. The bartender was a cool dude chatting everyone up. When our table was ready we weren't rushed to get there and they made us feel just as important as the wall street douches that were there.
We got the staples. Started with thick slices of bacon then went to Porterhouse for two, potatoes and creamed spinach. The sides were excellent...they weren't exactly like Luger's, they added their own touch to it and made it so much better. Everything blended well with one another. The steak itself was hands down the best steak we've ever had. It came out sizzling and stayed hot to the last piece...perfect charring on the outside, pink and blood on the inside. The meat cut like butter and melted in your mouth. Add some of their awesome Lugers-esque steak sauce and you've got the best meal of your life. They had a crazy assortment of deserts on the menu. I went with the carrot cake and tom got the pecan pie, both with homemade whipped cream and both delicious.
Luger's will always have a special place in my heart, but Benjamin's just beat it out.

Yep, this won out as the best steak to date! Lets not forget Sux are about 18 games behind the Yanks and are an embarrassing racing stripe on the tighty whiteys of American Baseball!
