Best of Metromix Jersey Shore: STEAK
Steak + House, a.k.a., two-thirds of the survival equation, i.e., the manliest compound word in the history of language. For many, that first bite of a perfect steak is the equivalent of primal restoration; like coming face to face with our ageless self -- and then eating him. Join us now as we recognize just a few of the restaurants that remind us why it's so damn sweet to be a carnivore.
