If only I did not have to work I could easily slip into a ladies who lunch upper east side lifestyle and Vaucluse is a perfect spot.  The poireaux vinaigrette completely lived up to my very high expectations after reading several rave reviews of this dish.  I’m not sure that I could order anything else from the hors d’oeuvres section of the menu when I return.  The Vaucluse version of the white label burger is actually a perfect French take on the original white label burger.  But I must admit that I love the original white label burger much more so it looks like a lunch visit to Ai Fiori is in the cards very soon.  Apologies but bacon marmalade beats tomato jam every time. 🙂

 Poireaux Vinaigrette – grilled leeks, toasted almonds, mustard seed vinaigrette
 White Label Burger – aged beef blend, fontine cheese, tomato jam, dijonnaise, frites
