Pleasures: Dining Out -- Beyond His Own Restaurant Universe -- With Daniel Boulud
/Reading this Independent UK’s article on star chef Daniel Boulud’s favorite culinary hangout’s, I wasn’t surprised to read about his legal problems around the name of his soon-to-open-restaurant DBGB.
These four letters conjured up an instantaneous, “oh how clever” reaction, as my mind migrated to CBGB, New York’s home of underground music since 1973. Now closed at its Bowery location, the club insists that it will reopen in the future, at a new location.
Daniel Boulud insists that his latest DBGB restaurant, 299 Bowery, will not be a burger restaurant, but a 150-seat HIP cross between a brasserie and a diner!
Logging on to DanielNYC, there’s no photos of the DBGB restaurant, opening behind schedule by almost a year.
You can watch Daniel’s Channel on MOJO TV.
