Cafe Boulud, Palm Beach.




This was my first experience eating at a Daniel Boulud restaurant. This probably has something to do with the fact that when I visit New York city, I tend to eat off of tavern menus, at gastro-pubs, as well as vegetarian restaurants. We went for lunch and ordered the prix fixe option. In Florida I have found it somewhat difficult to find high quality food. However, as his reputation precedes him, Boulud in Palm Beach was absolutely stunning. My friend and I even had an opportunity to see the kitchen and tour the walk-ins (some of the cleanest I've seen, might I add). I appreciated that the line cooks were given some freedom in that they each had their own terrine working in one of the walk ins, and some as well were making their own charcuterie.

As will become apparent in this blog, I am not a vegetarian, but I often cook vegetarian. I was for about 9 years, and have since been a pescatarian (one whose living protein consumption consists of sea/freshwater life). My intention for this blog is to create a forum through which I may share my own recipes and cooking experiences at home, as well as my experiences eating out. Also, I just really LOVE food porn!
