Peter Luger's manager says its steaks are still 'the best you can eat' after scathing zero-star review from The New York TimesPeter Luger Steak House received a scathing zero-star review in The New York Times on Tuesday.
Pete Wells' review of the iconic 132-year-old Brooklyn restaurant has since gone viral on Twitter.
Wells wrote that the restaurant's shrimp cocktail "tasted like cold latex," that his fries were "mealy and bland," and that the Caesar salad was "so drippy," with croutons "always straight out of the bag."
David Berson, Peter Luger's general manager and the great-grandson of its founders, told Insider: "We know who we are and have always been. The best steak you can eat. Not the latest kale salad."
