Esquire magazine launched a new blog on 4/1 called Eat Like A Man: Food for Men and they seem to have taken a real shine (with good reason) to Houston restaurant The Rockwood Room. With a menu based on classic fare from the post World War II era, the restaurant serves up dishes like Prime Rib, Lobster Tail, a riff on Oysters Rockefeller, even Fondue. Conjuring up visions of the Rat Pack and martini soaked lunches – you can see why Esquire really digs this place.

Esquire also singles out the Rockwoods version of the classic Manhattan cocktail. The magazine claims they make the best one in America..and with three different version on the menu…including one infused with *bacon* we can see why!

I bet these cool cats would have liked this place.

**UPDATE**  We are sad to report that The Rockwood Room has closed back in early June.
