Balthazar

Not to toot my own horn, but Balthazar — one of the most beloved, important restaurants in New York City — features a quote from me on their Press Page: “At its best, I think it’s New York’s most authentic French bistro, and if you catch it at the right moment you can find yourself transported across the Atlantic.” What’s funny is that I don’t remember writing that and I can’t find the post where I said that; there is this post from 2004 called “Transported at Balthazar” where I weirdly compare it to Cirque Du Soleil and complain about the texture of the pork belly.
