At Basil Park, fat slabs of grass-fed Uruguayan beef are salted, seared, and topped with sprigs of microbasil before being served. Inside a beaming rotisserie, nearly a dozen crisp-skinned chickens from Joyce Farms perform a slow, perpetual barrel roll behind a thick beech counter that fronts the open kitchen.
