Eat This Now: 100-Day Dry-Aged Rib Eye at Kensington Quarters

2017/10/18

  • Chef Damon Menapace decided to go a little crazy with a few of his rib eyes.
  • by JASON SHEEHAN · 10/18/2017, 3:29 p.m.
  • A couple months ago, someone asked chef Damon Menapace if he’d ever heard of anyone dry-aging a steak for 100 days.
  • And okay, so to a normal person, that might be a weird question. But Menapace is the chef at Kensington Quarters — a restaurant that takes meat very seriously. So Menapace thought about it. He researched a little. And while 20, 30, even 40 days of dry-aging is not uncommon, things get a little weird when you get north of that.
  • 60 days? That’s serious. 70 days, 80 days and you’re talking only about obsessives, experimenters and restaurants doing them on special order. But 100 days? That’s unicorn country.(Source: http://www.phillymag.com )
