About Me

About Me

To express my interest in food with others.

Interests

Tasting menus. I love tasting menus matched with wine. I think it's the best way to know a restaurant and a Chef's cuisine is by tasting as much of it as you can without hitting your wallet too badly with serveral trips to the same restaurant.

What I'm Listening to

Coldplay, Radiohead, Band of Horses, Matt Pond, and other assorted independent bands.

Favorite Foods

Anything that tastes good and is prepared well

What I'm Watching

Iron Chef America, Malto Mario, hell's Kitchen, Rachael Ray, and Martha Stewart

Tastiest Libations

Mojitos, Caipirinha or excellent wine

Favorite Restaurants

Jean Georges, Michel Bras, and I so badly want to go to Per Se

Favorite Website Online

www.danielnyc.com

Most coveted item

Excellent Wine like a 1978 Chateaux Reyes Chateneauf de Pape

Culinary Genius..

So when I dined at the original Momofuku a long time ago, I knew that I had eaten somewhere special.  The food was excellent and the sake tasted great.  Who would have guess that he would have been the culinary genius that he is today..I did.  I have a lot of respect for Chef Dave Chang, for 3 reasons: 1) He shares the same name as a good friend of mine, 2) He's giving asian chefs a great name, much like his less known predicessors, Alex Lee and Souta Khun (spelling?).  Both are very talented chefs, but didn't reach the same plateau or were ahead of their times to do so. 3) His meshing of flavors are  excellent.

 All I can say is congratz Chef Dave Chang and I wish you much more success.
