Description
Ben Bensons echoes with laughter and clinking glasses. That joyous spirit might explain the number of regulars whove consumed tons of 16-ounce filets mignons (and who have been commemorated with wall-mounted brass plates). Start with palate-cleansing bluepoints if theyre available. When choosing a cut of beef, you really cant go wrong. Try a T-bone or a tenderloin; youll have some left over to bring home. Creamed spinach is a bit of a cliché with steak, but we havent found many batches this good.
