Taking a meatier tack up the street at the new Carnegie Diner & Café, Stathis Antonakopoulos uses a simple Greek marinade to flavor American-style ribs.
In Miami, Brad Kilgore is at it again at Alter, where his tasting menu includes an apple-forward interpretation of French onion soup, enhanced by fermented apples meant to act like Japanese bonito flakes.
Finally, in St. Louis, chef Ny Vongsaly is rubbing beef with coffee to create his own take on carpaccio at Billy Jean in St. Louis.
