One of the world's best restaurants — Eleven Madison Park in New York — is planning a big change. It is going all plant-based. No more Kobe beef. No more poultry or fish. So why now?
NOEL KING,
One of New York's best-known restaurants, at least among foodies, is planning a big change.
DANIEL HUMM: So we decided that our restaurant will be a 100% plant-based.
RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:
Daniel Humm is the CEO and chef at Eleven Madison Park in New York City. He told Guy Raz that the decision to go vegan wasn't made lightly, but shutting down the restaurant during the pandemic gave Humm time to think about his legacy and time to consider the effect this change can have on the culinary world and in the real world.
HUMM: The way we have sourced our food, the way we're consuming our food, the way we eat meat - it is not sustainable.
KING: So when he reopens on June 10, the kitchen won't be using butter or cream - no beef, no chicken, no fish. This is virtually unheard of in the world of fine dining, especially at a restaurant with three Michelin stars. Also, a meal for two people at Eleven Madison Park can cost more than a thousand dollars.
HUMM: Guests have never come to us to just eat a piece of steak or lobster. They've always come to us to be on a journey.
We have these golden oyster mushrooms. We glaze them, and we roast them deeper, and so we make this dehydrator pine needle, mushroom powder and we dust over it in the end. And so it's, like, caramelized on theN: Chef Humm says now that price tag might include a walk through a pine forest.outside, soft inside and juicy.

If my competition wants to commit business suicide; isn’t that a cause for other restaurants to celebrate?
LOL. When they lose money hand over fist will they actually close or will they go back to what made them money? We will see if woke and broke win.
The wokesters cheering this can’t afford to eat there.....
I hope this trend continues. Will help keep beef prices down for real people.
Lol. These people get so full of themselves it's a wonder they don't explode.... getting horsesh** everywhere.
All those New York restaurants can stop serving meat as far as I'm concerned. If enough folks stop eating beef, the price will come down, and that means more beef for me.
Their closure in 2 years will be blamed on covid.
Random friend: Want to try that new vegetarian restaurant?
Me. No!
or Trump :)
This is going to be another case of “Get Woke, Go Broke”. And it will be richly deserved.
cooking certainly contributes to global warming. shouldnt they be serving everything raw?
naww.. its lovingly sundried, with consideration of the earth in mind...
She thinks it has pizazz (You had to ask)! Actually they’re going out of business real soon!
And 100% out of business within one year.
All meals are “plant based”. Livestock eat plants. It’s my preferred way to get my vegetables.
but their kale is the best Jerry
