WHERE TO EAT The best Shrimp Cocktail in the world (according to food experts)

"While the steaks and views are one thing, their shrimp cocktail dish is the thing of legends. The spicy, fiery sauce has brought tears to the eyes of even the heartiest of eaters, yet a meal at St. Elmo's just isn't complete without taking part in the ritual."

"Shrimp cocktail was good and the shrimp were good sized, and the cocktail sauce was spot on."

"Hidden in the back of a rather nondescript deli (E Smoke and Convenience) you'll find a counter where skilled staffers whip up some of the best shrimp cocktails on the planet.
