smith & wollensky/prime house

David Burke of course was with the Smith & Wollensky group until 2003 and now his David Burke's Primehouse has almost the same menu-does it not.......including the Angry Lobster...also seen at Bluewater Grill

Is he repeating himself a lot?

Well, let's face it, the audience at a steakhouse is not exactly looking for a molecular gastronomic wonder a la El Bulli. Primehouse has some frou-frou touches, but it's also about a big hunk o' beef, a big hunk o' potato, and a big hunk o' Bordeaux, like any steakhouse, and it's not surprising that the audience that's comfy with that is going to be happy to see an old friend like Angry Lobster turn up for the third time. The point is good execution, not innovation.
