WHAT RECESSION? BLT STEAK

The Lookout,What Recession?

Jan

Monday night, 8:30 pm, 65 people dining at BLT Steak in the Camelback Inn. When it was all said and done, BLT did just over 90 covers last night, with most guests ordering entrees that easily coast past $55.

Apparently people are still willing to lay the AmEx on the table, even during leaner times.

Speaking of getting laid on the table, we hear that Chef Matt McLinn (formerly Methode Bistro)- who “resigned” from BLT immediately after opening – got busted for taking the heat outside the kitchen with a waitress on the middle bank of couches. We also hear that a female bartender was let go for similar reasons … not sure if the two stories are related, but they definitely offer one bit of advice: sit at a booth or table around the perimeter.

Another bit of advice, this one from Confucius: Couple who order the Porterhouse for two live long and happy but have no room for blueberry lemon meringue pie.

    From an inside source at BLT Steak, Chef Matt McLinn was let go because of his poor attitude, he was given three warnings before corporate BLT decided to give him the axe. No bartender has ever been let go regarding any sort of relations with any staff or non-staff at BLT Steak.
