Steak
aficionados may disagree on how they like their

happiness at any of these restaurants. Despite
the wide range of styles, from Brookyln's
old-school Peter Luger to Beverly Hills'
ultra-modern CUT, the quality throughout our
list is always prime.

Tallying the
Toques
FOOD RATINGS
A toque
is a chef's hat—a symbol of what they do best.
To us, it's our way of organizing our food
ratings to provide you with a quick reference
for each of the many markets we cover around
the world. If your favorites didn't make our
Top 40 list, you can see how they fared. Keep
in mind that our
20-point rating scale focuses on the
quality of the food.
