If you have high cholesterol, maybe you'd better not watch this video. Just seeing the luscious hunks of beef served at Peter Luger's Steak House could cause you to need a massive injection of Lipitor. Peter Luger's is probably my favorite restaurant in the country and the "probably" is because I haven't dined there in more than ten years. I'm just assuming it's still as good as it ever was. If you go there, remember these seven things…
- They don't take credit cards.
- Look all you want at the menu but you're going to order the steak.
- The German Fried Potatoes are about as good as any side dish you will ever eat.
- I don't eat desserts but if you do, you're going to want to leave room for dessert.
- When they deliver your steak to the table, don't dive in. Let it sit for at least five minutes to finish cooking and to rest.
- And the plate itself will be so hot that it will do to your flesh what it did to the cow's.
- But the shlep to Brooklyn and the hassle of making a reservation and the price…it's all worth it.
