The dining in New York started to become a blur. Between all the Michelin starred dinners, drinks, and delis its becoming hard to fill in the gaps between meals. Luckily, we had a lot of memorable ones.
Though CK has had the chance to both eat in and work in 3 Michelin starred establishments, I would be experiencing it for the first time on this trip.
We chose to head to Jean Georges for lunch as we could order 1x1 and taste a lot of the same food they offer for dinner.
Trio of Canapes - Cauliflower Soup, Salmon & Creme Fraiche, Clementine
We didn't actually order our next course, but thanks to CK, again, we got a treat with our meal.
Uni - Yuzu, Jalapeno, Brown bread toast
After that pleasant surprise, we got into what seemed to be one of the best overall dining values in New York (especially considering that this is a *** restaurant) as each course is $14 and you are allowed to choose as many you like or as few as 2.
One of the best dishes I ate all week and a Jean Georges Classic.
Tuna Ribbons - Avocado, Spicy Radish, Ginger marinade
Peekytoe Crab dumplings - Celeriac & Meyer Lemon Tea
Next was another dish I had been looking forward to trying for a long time.
Sea Scallops - Caramelized Cauliflower, Caper-raisin emulsion ($8 supplement)
Foie Gras Brulee - Pineapple-meyer lemon jam
Soy glazed beef short rib - Apple-jalapeno puree, Rosemary breadcrumb
Black Cod - Honshimeji Mushrooms, Lemongrass Consomme
Chocolate - Jean Georges chocolate cake, Vanilla bean ice cream, chocolate gnocchi, grapefruit, gianduja, basil
Caramel - Chocolate pop, Coffee-cardamom ice cream, Dehydrated sponge, Roasted pineapple sorbet.
Macrons and chocolates
Jean Georges marshmallows
A completely different experience than Daniel. Not better, not worse. Different. A different style of food entirely, much lighter in style but no less flavorful. Just another experience that I will never forget.
