So we turned to our resident chefs: Hannah, who has worked at steakhouses for much of her professional life, and Nick, an expert on many cuisines, for a short video that debunks myths and provides secrets to cook a steak like a steakhouse pro.

Our Founder's Favorite Cocktail

The martini is a cocktail made with gin and vermouth and garnished with an olive or a lemon twist. Some say that a bartender at the Knickerbocker Hotel in NYC named Martini di Arma di Taggia invented the martini in 1911 for John B.

Back @ Becco!

We are so happy to see our heritage pork shoulder back on West 46th street in NYC’s historic theater district at Becco restaurant, Lidia Bastianich’s stalwart run by O.G. chef (for over 20 years) Billy Gallagher. When you have to be out by 7:45PM to make the show, there is no better spot than Becco’s spacious dining rooms! We love trying new menu items that include pork shoulder and, of course, the limitless 3 pasta offering which often includes a heritage pork ragu!
