When it comes to tableside presentations, nothing impresses quite like fire. There's just something entrancing about a flame dancing across a dish, whether it's engulfing a pile of cherries or curling across a foot-high marshmallow merengue. It was the French who first gave us flambe, the artful technique of dousing a dish in liquor, lighting a match and setting it aflame. The alcohol burns off, leaving behind a slight singe, a touch of flavor and a memorable culinary performance. Experience the thrill of the torch at these hot spots across the country.
