The best steak that I had ever tasted in America was while traveling cross-country many years ago from California to New York, to sail aboard the S.S. France where we would spend five days of wining and dining in the First Class dining room of the “France” where the ratio was 85 kitchen staff to about the same number of diners and was considered one of the world’s top restaurants at the time. It just happened that we stopped for dinner in a restaurant in a town called Grand Island, Nebraska and after tasting just one bite of the incredibly good steak that I ordered, I told the waitress to bring an order of every cut of beef on the menu.

When I perused the menu at Cut and found that they included beef from Nebraska along with the more exotic foreign imports, of course, that is what I ordered. I had the opportunity to sample many other steaks as well from other guests at the table and the Nebraska version held up very well.
I have to thank Wolfgang Puck for booking the table for me at Cut with just a day or two notice for a party of eight, when the normal wait at the time was a month or so and when I showed concern that there might be problems for other diners. He told me, ” I have told reception that we have to be a little bit flexible with the reservations as sometimes I have friends coming from overseas and we have to find some space.”

Wolfgang Puck and prominent architect Richard Meier, who designed The Getty Center, were chosen to make the space one-of-kind at the Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire Hotel.  It was to be a steakhouse concept although with the option to choose from many accompanying sauces. Raw cuts of meats are brought to the table, although not a new concept, it is helpful to shop with your eyes. There are also other non-meat choices as well. Cut is rated 1 star by the Michelin Guide for Los Angeles.
