Food porn: A sneak-peak at the new EDGE Restaurant and Bar in the Four Seasons

Next Tuesday, on October 19, at the stroke of noon, the glitzy Four Seasons Hotel will open at 1111 Fourteenth Street. EDGE Restaurant and Bar, the hotel’s on-site food temple, billed as a “progressive American steakhouse,” will also start turning out prime-grade bricks of beef, chops, seafood, soups, salads and side dishes from its mammoth kitchen, which includes, among other high-style sizzle, a custom-made grill.
