Of all of the eateries featured here, Re:public’s steak tartare is the most unique. It’s spicy, with the minced beef tossed in a grilled scallion and anaheim pepper puree with pickled baby beets. Cumin potato chips are provided for scooping up and enjoying this yummy tartare, with harissa on the side.
