Alan Stillman has an extraordinary history in the restaurant business dating back to the 1960s when he opened the first T.G.I. Fridays on First Avenue and 63rd Street. He continued to have smashing successes time and time again; some of my family’s favorites over the years have been Smith & Wollensky’s on 49th and Park Avenue Autumn. Michael Stillman joined his father in the opening of Maloney and Porcelli in 1996, reinventing itself for modern times in 2012. According to the Stillman’s, the key to the restaurant’s continued success is adapting to the food craze of the time, without straying too far from its classic menu and setting. Recognizing a winner, the Stillman’s agree that whatever menu changes might be in their future, the Crackling Pork Shank will always remain – a rather large slab of deep-fried meat that keeps old patrons returning again and again.
