1. Great restaurant. nt

[femmocrat]

3. No doubt... it has 3 Michelin stars.

Ironic how we were told how the orange one loves fast food, though. Ha. And didn't he take Sarah Palin out for pizza?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

6. Yeah but she's a cheap date.

[femmocrat]

8. :rofl:

I remember Jon Stewart freaking out over how they ate pizza with utensils!

[pangaia]

12. How can one taste the food with all that extra mentally created stuff on everything?

I mean look at this

" Sea Trout
Dill Pureé, Olive Oil-Lemon Foam,Trout Roe and Horseradish"

"Sea Scallops
Caramelized Cauliflower, Caper-Raisin Emulsion ($8)"

Give me a break

Here's a good one-- all English...... until the last word...

" Black Sea Bass
Crusted with Nuts and Seeds, Sweet and Sour Jus"

I'll take Kyoto, Tokyo, Seoul, Chengdu, Shanghai and Guangzhou any day !

13. Jean George's does have a lot of Japanese influence actually. nt

[pangaia]

16. INFLUENCE.... true....

But, ANY high end western restaurant worth it's salt--get the pun?::&gt ) -- has Japanese and ESPECIALLY Chinese influences.

The Chinese, particularly the Szechuanese, are the greatest cooks in the world.. bar none... well.. add those is Guangdong as well.. but the Szechuanese... they just KNOW....

Nevertheless, sashimi and sushi ... still # 1

That's just my take.....

[Lucky Luciano]

17. Have to disagree there.

You just cannot beat the Japanese. They are far and away dominant as far as I'm concerned. So delicate and so rich in tastes and varieties. I like Szechuan too, but I'm probably not as well versed on their cuisine as you are.

[pangaia]

18. I must agree also...

Who is to say.. When I am eating good nigiri sushi in Tokyo, Kyoto, or Oshizushi in Osaka..... it is the best.. when eating Szechuan,, hopefully in Chengdu, but there are several great places in the San Gabriel Valley, and even NYC........it is the best....

I'll never forget the first time I had REAL, freshly grated wasabi.. in 1982 in Sabae.!!!

And if I had to make a choice for a last meal....ok..... .. Edomae sushi....omakase...

Ah, what wonderful choices to have to make....

Have you been to Szechuan?

[Lucky Luciano]

20. I have only been to Shanghai in China. I live in NYC,

so we do have some good Chinese in Flushing...and we have a great hot-pot place right near my office in the east village. I would love to explore more of China though for sure. Exploring is my cup of tea, but my wife likes very rigid itineraries - can be frustrating at times, but in the end she is probably right to plan carefully since the time is limited.

2. choke on it

.................

[femmocrat]

4. :rofl:

What, no taco bowls on the menu?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

5. No prices on the menu

Guess if you have to ask you can't afford to eat there.

[femmocrat]

7. Of course.

Nor would they want us there!

[TreasonousBastard]

9. Look closer in light gray...

Two entree plates for 58 bucks-- not bad.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

10. Yes I saw that at second glance

But remember that's just lunch.

[pangaia]

11. There "Entrees" are about 2" square.

And what's all that 'stuff' on everything? olive oil on ..SASHIMI !!!

Blechk....

[Dorian Gray]

14. It's prix fixe

You pay one price and get a coursed out meal.

I ate there years ago. It's great. But very formal and stiff. better food in places like blanca, where you can wear jeans and hang in bushwick.

(God I am an annoying Brooklynite)

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

15. Still too spendy

I mean what the fuck I don't like to eat my money

[justhanginon]

21. Watch the local paper for for coupons! :-)))

[jmowreader]

22. There are prices on it

Very, very high prices, but prices nonetheless.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

23. Yes please read my other responses

I've already acknowledged that.

[brooklynite]

19. ...and it's an excellent place to go to dinner.

My wife and I celebrated our 30th anniversary there.

Oh, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten is a supporter of Democratic candidates.
