“Zahav. Michael Solomonov is one of the kindest chefs in the city, and he goes out of his way to make everyone happy. My mom eats gluten-free and has a lot of dietary restrictions, and Mike just says, ‘Don’t worry about it.’ He doesn’t just take an ingredient out—he goes out of his way to make a meal great, which makes the experience so much nicer.” —Chosen by Madison Alpern, Chef consultant with Samuels & Son Seafood company
