Kenny's Wood Fired Grill

Channeling a 1940's Chicago style chophouse, chef Kenny Bowers' eponymous restaurant proves that you don't have to break the bank for a supremely luscious piece of meat. For around $35, you can score the likes of rib-eyes covered in garlicky mushrooms, filet mignons with Roquefort-bacon walnut butter and NY strips loaded with sautéed onions, mushrooms and cheddar cheese. And everything comes with a side (think: smoked gouda mac-n-cheese with white truffle oil; cheddar-bacon potato cakes and wood-grilled asparagus). The New-England style seafood is no slouch either. Ditto for the burgers. Oh yeah, it all comes with complementary popovers, plus they keep the kitchen open until midnight for all the hungry night owls out there.
