Le Bernardin
I am fairly well known in my circle for not having the patience to sit through a four or five hour meal. I've sort of "been there done that," if you will, and really go out of my way to avoid this type of dining experience. Even when Jackie and I went to Paris last year for a month long trip, we agreed to bind ourselves to "no stars and no reservations," thinking we could dine beautifully without the pomp and parade.
My good friend the "Chef in the Hat," Thierry Rautureau, has seen me more frequently in his 3 year old casual Madison Valley joint Luc than he did in the last 25 at the soon-to-close classic Rover's (last day is June 23rd). Not that Rover’s isn’t delicious, it is just fancier than I am.  In NYC, I always choose Daniel Boulud's Cafe Boulud over the three star Restaurant Daniel, Mario Batali's soulful Babbo over the grand Del Posto, and renowned chef Jean-George Vongerichten's ABC Kitchen over Jean-George in Trump Tower. But then there is Le Bernardin, Maguy Le Coze's masterpiece nestled amongst the gleaming Midtown skyscrapers and my "outlier" four star joint.
