The three-Michelin-star New York restaurant Eleven Madison Park will make its grand reopening after more than a year by going plant-based. Most of the dishes it became known for, such as its iconic roasted duck with daikon and plum, will no longer be available on the menu. This will make the restaurant one of the first ever high-profile eateries to go vegan, with chef and owner Daniel Humm stating that he is immensely excited to share the decision of turning towards a plant-based menu.
Vegetarianism and veganism seem to be no longer fringe diets as more and more restaurants are seemingly making the shift. Humm stated in an interview that ‘the way people eat meat is not sustainable’. Acknowledging the risk this moves entails, Humm believes the decision is worth it as he aims to ‘redefine luxury as an experience that serves a higher purpose and maintains a genuine connection to the community.’
