StripSteak, a Modern American Steakhouse by entrepreneur chef Michael Mina. The Executive Chef Gerald Chin, started at 16 in the kitchens of some of the top restaurants in New York, including Tavern on the Green, Judson Grill (Chef Bill Telepan) and the private membership-only Piping Rock Club (Certified Master Chef John Johnstone). Chef Gerald, The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York graduated, was the opening team of Bradley Ogden, James Beard Best New Restaurant Award. Then he was the opening team for the 3 Michelin Starred Joël Robuchon at the Mansion. He was also PiPS opened and in full operation in NYC, Celebrity Chef Rick Moonen as Chef de Cuisine for his restaurant RM Seafood, and then Chef de Cuisine for The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Now Executive Chef at StripSteak, where he serves modern American fare with a focus on all natural Certified Angus Beef and American Wagyu cuts of beef cooked over wood, Slow-Poached Prime Ribs that are cooked in their own juices for eight hours; American Kobe Beef Short Ribs with Horseradish-Celeriac Puree and Red Wine Jus, and more.

     Only a few chefs that I can honestly say, I’ve tried their food for the last decade, Chef Gerald Chin is one of the less than a handful chefs that I have followed for this long at Bradley Ogden, RM Seafood, and Joël Robuchon, and now here at StripSteak, just like wine, Chef Gerald food is getting better and better each time.

On this visit, Chef Gerald Chin fed me with Wagyu steak, lamb, bone marrow, caviar, and the best of all, this Duck Prosciutto aka Duck Candy Canes, Cherries, Pickled Mustard Seeds, Cornichon Puree, Fresh Cherry Glazed. I don’t eat much eat candy, because I love savory too much. However, if this was in candy shop, this “Duck Candy Canes” will be the first candy I devour.
