17 – Kristian Baumann x Chef’s Club

Posted in Copenhagen, New York by Mary Lynne Kupchella

In a different setting I think I would have enjoyed this dinner so much more. Its completely personal preference but for some reason Chef’s Club just didn’t work for me even though I quite like the space. I also think its difficult to have these dinners in the main dining room. But still fantastic to have Kristian Baumann in NYC.

NYC – 6/22/16 – Alon Shaya @ Chef’s Club

Posted in New York by Mary Lynne Kupchella

Shaya was one of my favorite meals of 2015 so I obviously could not miss the opportunity to have some of Alon Shaya’s food closer to home. It was fantastic although with a limited menu I couldn’t help but feeling that I just wanted to get back to NOLA.

Salatim served with pita bread – Louisiana crab tabouleh, bulgur, mint, tomato; Labneh, hold land trinity; Blackened eggplant salad, tahini, pine nuts

Fried oyster hummus, pecan brown butter

Cochon de lait shakshouka – slow roasted pork, stewed tomatoes, green chili zhoug

Louisiana shrimp – okra, paprikash, jasmine rice

Continuing the month long birthday celebration

NYC – 3/17/16 – Maison Premiere at Chef’s Club

Posted in New York by Mary Lynne Kupchella

I could not miss a chance to have Maison Premiere cocktails without having to cross a river. And of course there was the added plus of missing the traditional St. Patrick’s day crowds. Thinking we would never be able to get seats at the bar and wouldn’t be eating, I didn’t take pictures of the food menus and so cannot recall exactly what we had. However the first dish from Maison Premiere’s menu was fantastic. The two others were from the Chef’s Club menu and quite good as well.
