Tom Colicchio to Close Craftsteak, Reopen It as Colicchio & Sons

"Top Chef" host Tom Colicchio will close one of his New York restaurants, Craftsteak, and reopen it next month as Colicchio & Sons.

Craftsteak, on the city's West Side, had been Colicchio's showcase for "beef sourced from the world's top ranchers and artisanal producers" and dry-aged on the premises. The new restaurant, Colicchio & Sons, will continue a focus on "farm-to-table" food, according to the Village Voice. The front "tap room" will highlight artisanal beers.

The restaurant will close on Friday, the Voice reports. Colicchio & Sons will reopen at some point in January. Reservations are being accepted as of Jan. 11.

Colicchio will help cook along with Craftsteak's chef, Shane McBride, NBCNewYork.com reports.

"With the economy people aren't really coming out for $100 steaks," Colicchio tells New York Magazine. "That aside, it's a space I love, and I wanted to do something just a little personal there."

Colicchio has been doing a special Tuesday Dinner series at Craft.

Then the waiter handed us a menu where everything on it was half a steak for $90+, and ran away before we could order drinks. Terrible ambience too. Our table was 1" from the people next to us. We got up to leave and the host acted like he didnt even remember us, even though we had just given him our coats 5 min earlier, and got an attitude when we didnt leave a tip. I had to pull our jackets out of his hands. The place is a dump and I can see why it closed. I am so tired of these BS celebrity chefs

Actually they are. Just not at craftsteak. I went there once on a whim when I couldn't get a table at Batali's Del Posto, next door. The service was horrible and me and my guests ended up deserting our table before even being asked for our drink order.
