Does the World Need More Fancy-Pants French Restaurants?
Posted on 10 January 2008 under French Food | No Comments
New York magazine devoted umpteen thousand words this week to superchef Alain Ducasse’s two new attempts to open a successful restaurant in New York City. One, Adour at the St. Regis Hotel, is obviously going to be Ducasse’s attempt to get another three stars (he already has accrued 15 in restaurants around the world) in the New York Michelin Guide and four stars in the New York Times (his now-shuttered restaurant in New York’s Essex House did get four stars from the Times). The second is going to be a branch of famed Paris brasserie Benoit, which Ducasse now owns. It has also been rumored that Ducasse is going to open a restaurant in Chicago sometime in the next year.

This originally was an experiment in food, photography and weblogging, combining three hobbies of mine. Since 2002, Food blogging has become a full time occupation for many, and the quality of some of them are stunning. Several years ago I was asked to judge the Food Blog awards, a very difficult task. In the photography category, I was only able to pick the winner but looking at every single photo posted by the finalist, and if any one of them was less than flawless, the blog was eliminated. The competition has only gotten tougher since then.
