| - Every once in a while I need to sit in a masculine restaurant. Which lead me to the latest meat lover, bone-in steak or juicy burger dinner house in the southeast Valley. Chop Chandler. There is nothing in AZ like mesquite grillin, a two inch tall cowboy steak or chop.
Chef Charles Osteen, partner of the group that delivered The Living Room, The Sushi Room and Humble Pie, who worked nineteen years for Houston's is continuing the ultimate steakhouse cuisine.
To start, I order Chop a Rita $11. Sauza silver, watermellon, jalapeno. I best describe this drink as the local gal gone wild. My meal, a wonderfully seared tall chop $23. House cured, double cut with a baker and green apple chutney. A new American presentation.
The Mission Style restaurant reminds me of Santa Barbara's Spanish Colonial Revival, an architecture I love, with tuck 'n roll booths that boasts a warm and very friendly atmosphere. Well done Men.
