On 'Hidden Treasures,' Peter Luger Steak House was featured for its dry-aged porterhouse steak for two, served with filet mignon on one side of the bone and sirloin on the other, alongside its thick-cut sizzling bacon, according to Food Network's restaurant listing. The Brooklyn steakhouse sits in the Williamsburg neighborhood on Broadway and, per Wikipedia's article on the restaurant revised July 22, 2026, is the third-oldest operating steakhouse in New York City after Keens and Old Homestead, having been named to the James Beard Foundation's 'America's Classics' list in 2002. Wikipedia also notes a third location opened inside Caesars Palace Las Vegas following a January 2022 announcement with Caesars. A check of the restaurant's own website, peterluger.com, on 2026-09-08 found the site live with an active online ordering cart, current gift-certificate and reservation pages, and 2026 copyright text, consistent with ongoing operation.

"Steak Paradise" (S1E4) featured Peter Luger Steak House, a Williamsburg, Brooklyn steakhouse best known for its dry-aged porterhouse, served sliced and sizzling with the restaurant's own steak sauce. Peter Luger is the third-oldest continuously operating steakhouse in New York City, after Keens and Old Homestead, and was named to the James Beard Foundation's "America's Classics" list in 2002, according to Wikipedia. The dining room features a long wooden bar, exposed wooden beams and burnished oak wainscoting, giving it what Wikipedia (revised 2026-07-22) describes as a Teutonic, beer-hall feel. Beyond the original Brooklyn restaurant, Peter Luger operates a second location in Great Neck, New York, on Long Island, and in January 2022, Peter Luger and Caesars Palace announced a third location inside Caesars Palace Las Vegas, in space formerly occupied by Rao's, according to Wikipedia.
