Best New York Switcheroo

Laurent Tourondel counts on chef de cuisine Sam Gorenstein (nominated twice for a Beard Award) to keep things on track at BLT Steak. This modern American steak house with a bistro infusion has spawned an empire for Tourondel, making it particularly important to rely on the talents of local chefs. Gorenstein's jalapeño mashed potatoes ($9) are surprisingly popular, but it's a fact that everything on the menu is executed flawlessly. Braised short ribs ($33) melt in your mouth, as does the juicy 22-ounce rib eye ($49). Even the seafood stands out -- from dover sole in a soy caper brown butter ($50) to grilled branzino with fennel salad and grapefruit emulsion ($31).
