Sorry, friends: I’ve been woefully inattentive to this blog. Since the last post 9 months ago (!), I’ve eaten at some wonderful restaurants, most memorably DiverXO in Madrid and The Fat Duck in the UK. Frankly, while both were great, and The Fat Duck is world-renowned, the better restaurant hands down was DiverXO, a one-Michelin-star restaurant with three-star quality at (less than) half the price. The food there was simply sensational…modern, delicious Asian/Spanish fusion. Best meal I’ve had in Europe. I plan to return to DiverXO this fall, and will give a full report when I do.
In the meantime, I’m about to take a little trip to NYC and Baltimore, and I plan to blog (in brief) about my dining experiences. Lined up already are outings to Tabla, Babbo, Public, and Eleven Madison Park. I’ve been to Tabla and Babbo several times and I’m a big fan. Public I’ve only been to once, but my parents have been raving about it. Eleven Madison Park is more of a special occasion restaurant, but given that the chef Daniel Humm just won the James Beard award this year for Best Chef: NYC, it seems worth the splurge. I’ll report back soon.
