Eater just had a little piece about the proposed tasting menu. As usual, ignore the comments.

The most pertinent point, is that the chef says it's going to be like WD~50 and Corton, but there is (as yet) no evidence that he is actually capable of that. Not saying he can't, only that it's as yet unproven. I mean, Liebrandt and Wylie actually had to work their way up to charging that kind of coin.

Come to think of it, I think you'll like him a lot, he really reminds me of Joe Dobias.

Here's a dish.



Here's another one.



Now serve a tasting menu.

NB: This is a punk rock joke. Maybe Sneak will get it.

[Sneakeater]

And maybe he won't.

Personally or as a chef?

Personally. As a chef he has much higher aspirations than JD, we'll see if he can finally live up to them (unlikely, but who knows).

I tried 5 or 6 tastes last week. Some weird, some good, some just not in my wheelhouse.

But that fish and chips looks good.

[nuxvomica]

how are the drinks, joe?

[joethefoodie]

The 2 (maybe 3) drinks I had were very good, but with this crew behind the cocktails, that's to be expected, no?

They've installed a really nice carbonation system, which seems to be a new phase that these type of places are getting into.

I spit my tea.

Orik, you spend far more time scouting out this kind of deliciousness than any of us thought possible.

For dessert in your "Like Brooklyn Fare" tasting menu? Crepe with nutella, strawberries, rhubarb. (Strawberries, Gianduja, Rhubarb, Crepe)

Or, maybe you'd care for some baked Brie with fruit on toast? (Sheep Milk Brie, Membrillo, Levain, Sour Plum, Raisin)

If you blinked, you missed it: Phillip Kirschen-Clark is already out at Demi Monde.

Were chef's tasting menus ever served? I couldn't find any online references.
