Serious Eats - seriouseats.com

Well, I'm not agree with you articule,when you said why nyc need another "french restaurant" well let me tell you, I think when Mr Ducasse opened ADNY he wanted to offer to nyc something unique never seen before with quality and details many details... diferent types of knives to give you an example for our comfort,but when you see that peopple here don't used both hands on the table just one almost "never used a knive to do anything" just the fork to cut even the meat have you notice? so offcourse you don't like does details and the superb food that was executed by an incredible Chef call Didier Elena,perhaps the only way to discover the beuty of "fine dining" is when you travel to France or any part in Europe and expirience the magic of a real restaurant 3,2 ,1 michelin you'll notice the diference that the happiness of the costumer is first, you will never compare a 4star nyc restaurant to a 3 michelin in Europe. Mr Ducasse mistake perhaps was that nyc was never ready for him and never will....So personally I'm happy that he is back.It is sad to go to any restaurant hopping to have a great expirience here in nyc and you expend big bucks for a good food but the service is poor ,you feel rush all the time ,the restaurant only cares to turn the tables as many times possible not about you .
So tell me are we serius eaters?
The reality is we are not ready to be seated with the grown ups table yet !!!! untill then Mc Donalds will be our hero.
