What's
Your Beef?
by
John Mariani
There
seems to be no let-up in the
amount of beef New Yorkers
can consume: In just the past
few months we've seen the
arrival of two new steakhouses
that add French twists to
the tradition-bound genre.
Now comes Wolfgang's Steakhouse.
Billy
Grant's Grand New Spot
Noted
Hartford-area chef Billy Grant's
second eatery not only gives
his first venture, Bricco,
a run for its money, it also
vies for top honors in upscale
West Hartford Center, where
dining is as much a social
experience as it is the pursuit
of sustenance.

This
Summer's Hot Pink Deals
By
Bryan Miller
For
several decades, rosés
have been the bush league
ball players of the wine world,
enjoyed by some but not taken
very seriously. This is all
changing as quality rosé
wines now come into the market
from around the world. Most
sell in the $7 to $12 range.
