Gourmet food for children?
If a world famous sous chef treats them to the delights of a seven course meal, whom am I to object?
They look happy enough.
I would only want to know if any taxpayer money paid for this.
What? No mac ‘n cheese?.......
Smoked Paprika Cured Hamachi (the “most-foreign thing for them,” Boulud says), Crispy Japanese Snapper (“which they loved to see”) and Wagyu Beef Rib-Eye (“a big success”)
At Daniel’s - an acclaimed French restaurant in New York. All sounds mouth watering. Washed down with non-alcoholic cocktail.
I wonder how many of them actually tasted the peas and broccoli...........
I notice they didn’t invite any Asian kids to participate. I’d say there was some discrimination going on here.
That chef didn’t make that. Someone else made it happen.
Did it meet the standards set by Michelle O?
I bet the kids wanted pépites de poulet most.
1. Chicken nuggets
2. Macaroni & cheese
3. French fries
4. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
5. Microwaved pizza
6. Grilled cheese sandwiches
7. Candy bars (desert)
What a charming video.
Not on that level, but my parents exposed me to fine dining from an early age, along with great soul food and bbq and seafood restaurants in the south and along the Gulf Coast.
Played a big part in my decision to start working in restaurants at age 15 as a busser. I ended up as Executive Chef around age 30 before leaving the industry to start a family.

Not a Moochie meal eh?
Coming late to the party, but this thread really strikes a chord with me. My dad was in the restaurant business, and my childhood was essentially a seven-course dinner at a wonderful bistro. I was NOT allowed to dislike any food UNTIL I tasted it. We ate all over the country, and then all over the world. I really appreciate wonderful food; the only thing I ever truly disliked was Nopales cactus, which I had in Mexico. Yuk.
I have always been amazed at the concept of “picky eaters.” Expose kids to a variety of excellent food and there will be no problem. BTW, “excellent food” does not include packaged, canned or frozen stuff. Truly, it’s very easy to cook from scratch.
