Daily Cuts - Burnt Ends

Burnt Ends is a restaurant that’s still smoking hot, more than ten years after it was established. Reservations open 45 days in advance but are said to be fully booked out within a few seconds. Perhaps it's because Burnt Ends has maintained its One-Michelin star since receiving the award in 2018.
