Show 77, June 21, 2014: Alejandro Duran, General Manager, Chianina Steakhouse, Naples Island, Long Beach Continues…

Chianina SteakhouseHigh-end steakhouses with a serious bar and deep wine lists are very much in fashion these days.

How about an elegant steakhouse that serves limited availability, high-quality Italian beef, prime steaks, and sustainable seafood? There is also a well-regarded executive chef (David Coleman) overseeing things. We’ll be meeting the General Manager of Chianina Steakhouse in the Naples neighborhood of Long Beach, part of the ever expanding Michael’s Restaurant Group. We’re joined by Alejandro Duran of Chianina.

Chianina beef will soon be on their menu.

There is also seafood and house-made pasta on the menu. They are particularly proud of their two-story fresh seafood tower with at least three varieties of oysters (to be shared) along with the house specialty, risotto carbonara.
