  1. i had a great experience at the cafe last summer.

    A number of people on this thread have responded to a discussion of the restaurant with comments regarding the cafe. Althought there is common ownership and an overarching approach, these are different restaurants with different kitchens, cooks and menus. I don't believe that they are directly comparable and that the experience with one has great predictive value as to how one might find the other.

    hmmm, well, in that case, i would recommend the cafe for the simple reason that you can choose what you eat.

  2. to select the wine, and the sommelier appeared to be fine with that. 

    there were two types of butter, one of which was from Vermont

    who's handling the sommelier duties? i had heard that stuckey was leaving. have they found a replacement?

    regarding the vermont butter, was it from Animal Farms in Orwell, Vermont?

  3. i had such difficulty swallowing this pill that I just got off the phone with someone at Charlie Trotters and was told that is indeed true, effective immediately. the fellow on the phone said that it was simply because Charlie doesn't approve of the way the animals are treated.

    in your post about NoMI, you refer to the 'ducasse approach.' to you, what is the 'ducasse approach?' do any of his protege's practice this approach? gras? portay? are there any other students of significance practicing their craft in the u.s.?

  5. Cabrales- Looking at the calendar of current events at the blue hill webite, I saw mention of the special dinner and was just curious as to what dishes might be considered 'signature dishes' at blue hill. when i visit in march tho, i will probably order a tasting menu.
