Cooking make you reach for the meds? You’re in luck: Barclay Prime is offering Deluxe Grilling Packages through Labor Day. For a few Benjamins, you can get dinner for up to six, including a selection of appetizers, salads, choice steaks, sides, and a whole pie. Order 24 hours in advance.
If you’re really under the weather, fork over $7,500 to get dinner for ten, a 30-inch Viking grill, and LoCascio himself.
You can keep the grill. But, please, release the chef.
