Ox Restaurant
Peruvian
The open live-fire grill runs the length of the kitchen and puts on a show whether you book a counter seat or not. This Argentine-inflected steakhouse has been an institution on MLK forever, with Greg Denton and Gabrielle Quiñónez Denton behind the flames. The asado is built for at least two people and their ambitions. The chowder, meanwhile, arrives with a smoked marrow bone floating in it, which tells you everything about the kitchen's sense of humor.

Asado argentino
“The asado Argentino is the way to get truly carnivorous — a formidable plate brimming with grilled short rib, house chorizo and morcilla sausages, skirt steak and sweetbreads.”
The New York Times -
Chowder
“The chowder is also justifiably beloved: With whole clams wading in a silky, cream-based broth and a canoe of smoked marrow bone floating in the bowl, it’s surf and turf reimagined.”
