Here are a few defining dishes of 'Wasp cuisine,' and where you can eat excellent versions of them in New York City
TAK Room’s prime-beef short-rib Wellington. Photo: Joe Lingeman Wasp cooking is a term that most consider either an oxymoron or a punchline. But in his memoir, The Book of Eating, Adam Platt depicts an unexpected epicurean inheritance, fondly recalling the sybaritic tendencies of his Waspy gourmand family.
Prime Rib The Grill’s prime rib. Photo: Melissa Hom Of all celebratory cuts of beef, prime rib is the tenderest, juiciest, and Waspiest. Also known as a standing rib roast, it’s as easy to cook as it is impressive to serve: Nothing induces order envy like a great hunk of beef paraded through a dining room, then sliced tableside with all the jolly to-do of a Christmas Day feast in Whoville.
Eggs Benedict There are a few tales as to the origin of eggs Benedict. The best and Waspiest: A Wall Street broker and boulevardier named Lemuel Benedict with a hangover the size of the Brooklyn Bridge checked himself into the restaurant at the Waldorf-Astoria, ordered a DIY plate of buttered toast, bacon, and poached eggs plus a boat of hollandaise, and despite his throbbing head, cotton mouth, and shaky hands, rolled up his sleeves and got down to business.
French Onion Dip TAK Room’s potato chips and French onion dip.

One of the best is the French onion variety, whipped up in the early ’50s with a recipe later appearing on packages of Lipton onion-soup mix.
Club Sandwich The turkey club at Neil’s. Photo: Melissa Hom With club right in its name, and bacon, mayo, and white bread as featured ingredients, it’s no surprise the iconic triple-decker sandwich traces its pedigreed origins back to either a ritzy Saratoga Springs casino or the kitchen of Manhattan’s Union Club. Now, of course, you can’t find a suburban country club or posh hotel room-service menu without one.
