Beef Take
Rocco Whalen kicked off the new year with a bang, remaking his Tremont stalwart with a new interior and menu. But we're celebrating that the Fahrenheit chef and owner didn't lay a whisk on his iconic Kobe beef short ribs ($34). Marinated in Asian flavors then braised for 12 hours, the tender beef, teriyaki lo-mein noodles, baby bok choy and mushrooms set off fireworks with every bite. 2417 Professor Ave., Cleveland, 216-781-8858, chefroccowhalen.com
