Back to meat for Daniel Humm

What’s certain is that Daniel Humm doesn’t consult Alain Passard when it comes to culinary strategy. Not keeping up? Never mind, I’ll give you a quick rundown. While the Helvetian chef based at Eleven Madison Park in New York was advocating a 100% vegan menu until last week, he has just reinstated meat on his menu. U-turn? I’ve no idea, as the restaurant (unfortunately) hasn’t phoned me to let me know. Another time… or not. Alain Passard, on the other hand, is making the opposite journey; after being the first to offer a 100% vegan menu, he returned to meat a few years ago, only to withdraw it a few weeks ago in order to become vegan in his turn. Do you follow? Back to Manhattan, where the chef specifies that he will keep a vegan menu, but that his guests will once again be able to enjoy fish, meat and YES! his legendary honey and lavender lacquered duck. The changes are scheduled for October 14…
