WORLD FARE: A tale of opulence and restraint at Addison

July 16, 2019 mgardiner

WORLD FARE: Craft, not glory at Bistro du Marché

October 15, 2018 mgardiner

As chefs became our new rock stars, “I want my food TV” turned out to be a truer slogan than “I want my MTV” ever was. Michelin stars, it seemed, were less the goal than TV appearances and way sexier than the craft, no doubt. How, then, does a chef like Jean-Michel Diot and his … [Read more...]
