100 BEST ’14: MUTTON CHOP at KEENS STEAKHOUSE

Mutton Chop at KEENS STEAKHOUSE

One of New York’s most iconic restaurants is the historic Keens Steakhouse. They’re known for filets and T-bone steaks, of course, but even more so for their preparation of the rarely seen mutton chop. The mature sheeps yields huge amounts of tender and delicate meat. And don’t be scared of the classic mint jelly accompaniment. It’s a rite of passage in the New York dining scene. Price: $51
