re: Eleven Madison Park Going Meatless

I made a pledge a year or so ago to write off fine dining. It's far too pretentious, often overhyped, and exorbitantly priced when I could just as easily hop on Yelp or Google and find other outstanding food for a fraction of the price in a much less stuffy atmosphere.

What EMP is doing further convinces me I've made the right choice. I'm not clear how some exclusive restaurant going vegan makes any difference in sustainability in the overall food world (it doesn't). This is a giant "look at me!" moment, virtue signaling bullshite.

That said, get ready for the RAVE reviews from the sheep who will patronize EMP and happily spend $500/person for wine and veggies just so that they can brag to their friends how incredibly good it was and how BOLD the chef is!
