We are thrilled to expand our presence in the Bay Area with the opening of our new Benihana in the San Mateo community, said Emanuel 'Manny' Hilario, CEO of The ONE Group.

Texas Roadhouse's half slab of slow-cooked ribs is priced at $19.99, while Outback Steakhouse's half-rack baby back ribs cost $24.29, making Texas Roadhouse the more budget-friendly option.

As new steakhouses and restaurant concepts continue to open across Midtown, what sets Delmonico's apart is something few competitors can claim - nearly two centuries of New York culinary history and a deep understanding of the city's dining culture.

North Italia will plant its flag in downtown Walnut Creek, with a March 25 opening scheduled. The 8,500-square-foot dining room and alfresco bar will offer seating for 200. For starters, brunch every weekend and lunch every weekday, with hours from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., at which point the dinner menu kicks in.

With the increased beef prices the last couple years, it's a pretty slim profit margin even at 12.99. Please find me any other restaurant where you can get a legit good steak dinner with salad & potato for $13.

When a business succeeds, it isn't necessarily because of some intricate business plan or elaborately devised model. Such is the case with Texas Roadhouse, a concept that was initially written down on a cocktail napkin before it blossomed into the enterprise we know today. As soon as founder Kent Taylor found investors for his dream, he quickly sketched out his vision using the resources available to him.

When surveying the best pizza places in every state, one Dallas-based operation stands out in the Lone Star State. Cane Rosso delivers on its claim of serving up the most authentic wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas in Texas. Restaurant owner Jay Jerrier first tasted true Neapolitan pizza during his honeymoon in Italy, and the experience changed his life. The fresh flavors and creamy cheese had a lasting impact on the entrepreneur and inspired him to learn how to make fresh mozzarella and use a wood-burning oven.

This story starts with mass migration. In the late 19th century, economic conditions in Southern Italy had deteriorated and millions of Italians set sail for America in search of opportunity and the gold-paved streets of which they'd been told. Many settled in the northeastern United States, sometimes strictly segregated by region. In New York's Little Italy, Sicilians lived on Elizabeth Street, Calabrians on Mott. The newly settled immigrants did their best to cook familiar foods with the ingredients available in this unfamiliar country. Their children did the same, and then their grandchildren. Dish by dish, Italian American cuisine was born, a hybrid culinary tradition that has become inextricably woven into our country's foodways.
