If you have ever wondered what makes the meat in America's finest restaurants so delectable, LaFrieda--the butcher to the country's greatest chefs--has the answers, and the philosophy behind it. <p/>In seventy-five recipes--some of them decades-old LaFrieda family favorites, some from New York City's best restaurateurs, including Lidia Bastianich, Josh Capon, Mike Toscano, and Jimmy Bradley--the special characteristics of each type of meat comes into exquisite focus.
