Where Eleven Madison Park's Chef & Partner Loves to Eat in NYC
This week, we’re in New York City with Dominique Roy, Chef De Cuisine and partner of the iconic, three-Michelin-starred Eleven Madison Park.
Originally from Canada, Dominique trained under legendary three-Michelin-star chef Georges Blanc in France before representing Canada at both the Culinary World Cup and the Culinary Olympics.
At 25, he arrived in New York with a backpack and a bus ticket, knocked on the door of Eleven Madison Park, and cooked a piece of sea bass as his tryout. He got the job, and ten years later he runs one of the most celebrated kitchens on the planet alongside Daniel Humm: a restaurant that has held three Michelin stars for more than a decade, was named No. 1 on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list, and became the first plant-based restaurant ever to earn three Michelin stars.
In this edition, Dominique reveals:
His favorite NYC restaurants—and exactly what to order
The must-visit NYC restaurants he takes visiting chefs to
The best meal he’s had all year—and the restaurant he thinks will soon be impossible to get into
Where to find NYC’s best pizza, bagels, cocktails, pastry, and coffee
The new restaurants he’s most excited to try
A Google Map with all of the locations mentioned is provided at the end of the interview.
