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.

Enjoy going out of business.

Cooking without butter is a sacrilege.
All meals are “plant based”. Livestock eat plants.

Cattle are just nature’s own “Incredible Burger”
What a dumb decision.
Steve Job’s granola crunching widow is all up in Daniel Humm’s menu. Probably led to the split among his business partner after Job’s and Humm started dating.
A total waste. “Plant Based” — what’s the point of eating?!
Cows are “plant based”. People eat yummy cows. That’s the extent of my “plant based” diet.
Penny: I’m a vegetarian. Well, except for fish, and the occasional steak. I love steak!

This restaurant was already on the way out, IMHO. It’s just looking for a press angle. The liberals that run the city won’t be happy until all the plebs are eating insects, while they dine on the finest food. Damn them to hell.
