When was the last time you splurged on a $110-per-person white-tablecloth meal? Or are you more likely to get your culinary jollies from a pork bun or a banh mi sandwich? The popularity of casual gastronomic eateries, combined with the weak economy, is testing the relevance of fine dining in New York City now more than ever. Join a panel of legendary chef-restaurateurs and journalists in a conversation moderated by Time Out New York dining editor Gabriella Gershenson, on the past, present and future of high-end eats in the country's finest restaurant city. Enjoy a glass of wine in the library at Bumble and bumble after the panel!
Personalities Attending: Daniel Boulud, chef-owner of Daniel, DGBG and others, Andrew Carmellini, chef and co-owner of La Locanda Verde, Kate Krader, restaurant editor of Food & Wine magazine, and André Soltner, former chef-owner of Lutèce and Dean of Classic Studies at the International Culinary Center. Moderated by Gabriella Gershenson, dining editor of Time Out New York.
