I had never heard of the Michelin star rating but I said three stars to my friend and his eyes got wide. Apparently there isn't even a single three star restaurant in Canada  A 3* restaurant is likely to be booked about a year in advance. I actually think NOMA here in Denmark has 3 stars. EDIT: only 2 stars, but has been declared the worlds best restaurant in 2010 and 2011 | ||

W.r.t. molecular gastronomy, I think it really depends on how far the chef takes the concept. The show I watched by Heston, "In Search of Perfect", he draws from a lot of molecular gastronomy principles, but still uses classic cooking techniques, I think I prefer this style of cooking. I've seen lots of programmes on Alinea, WD~50 and a bunch of others, I think they must be really cool to try, but I would still prefer classic cooking over molecular gastronomy. That being said, I love watching these things on TV, and I was rooting for Richard Blais all the way in season 8 of Top Chef. On January 17 2012 03:33 ticklishmusic wrote: Ooh, a foodie blog on TL? I think I've found a new source of reading material. I don't know if you'll see this Cambium, but I suggest visiting Din Tai Fung in Taipei Taiwan (that's not too far from Tokyo, haha ). They specialize in a dumpling called xiao long bao that is pretty much amazing. Some other foreign branches of it have received one Michelin Star each, but those restaurants aren't even as good as the originals in my opinion. Oh that's interesting. I know the HK one received a star for it. There are quite a few in Tokyo, and the reviews for them aren't very good on the Japanese yelp (which is amazing btw). I've been to a couple in Beijing, and I wasn't very impressed, which is why I've never visited any in Tokyo. I will deifnitely try them in Taiwan if I find myself there, thanks for the recommendation!

Really glad you got spotlighted here What are your thoughts on~ Au pied de cochon - Montreal [ Have you had mutual friends been there? Want to go there? L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon - [ any of the locations, probably hong kong or france ] Thoughts on Joel Robuchon? El Bulli - How do you feel about it closing as a traditional restaurant? What do you think about the Adria brothers? Foie gras or bone marrow? I shoulda done this interview fuckkkk I've never gone to Au Pied De Cochon because I've never been to Montreal. I will most definitely visit if I find myself there, which should be within months. I'll let you know then! I lived with someone who studied at McGill and went there a few times. He said it was "very good", but I didn't ask too many questions. There is actually a L'Atlier de Joel Robuchon in Tokyo, I think it has 2 stars. There is also a 3* Le Chateau de Joel Rebuchon and a 2* La Table de Joel Robuchon which are literally a stone's throw from where I work. I was going to go to La Table over Christmas, but decided to go to somewhere else instead (blog to come!) I have been to his bakery however, and it's quite amazing, from which I can easily infer that his food will at the least have execellent execution. I don't know much about his cooking other than it's French, and that he has the most number of stars in the world. I do think of him more as a restauranteur than a chef, however I don't have his restaurant on my bucket list because they are everywhere, and I don't think I'll find the experience as enticing as dining at somewhere like L'Osier or the Fat Duck. I will probably try one of them at least at some point, and hopefully in France. It's a shame that it has closed. I know El Bulli was Spanish, and it was the best restaurant in the world for many years before and after the Fat Duck. Other than that, I know even less about it than Joel Robuchon. Bone marrow.

I've looked into it, but it's really damn expensive, some day haha. I would prefer to go to the French Laundry if I were given the option though.

Also, your blogs have more stars than the best restaurants, how do you feel about that? Great!! On January 17 2012 11:34 decafchicken wrote: Nice cambium! Any recommendations for detroit/michigan??

.I was kinda wondering, what is the dresscode for going to such a restaurant? How casual can you dress? Then I know whether to pack a suit or not :p. Edit: I already found out via google . Wow, google can give you all the answers.. | ||

Interesting to hear that the Jean Georges in NY is good, the one in Shanghai really sucks. Try Michelin starred restaurants in France if you have the occasion ! | ||
