    For anyone reading this, Gauthier Soho in London (UK) is well worth checking out. It's run by a chef who was formerly Michelin-starred then made the decision to go all vegan. It's not Michelin starred but is very good and their full tasting menu is less than £100.

    The fact that you had an amazing bday and the next morning you were still being impressed shows that you didn’t lose your mind. You paid for an amazing experience that you will never forget and 11 Madison Park delivered in every way possible. Money well spent!

    It was just my birthday in August and though I could never afford something like this, I did try and find a video on vegan fine dining just to see what it was like and didn't find any.

    2:45 a waiter came up to your table mid-course to literally take food out of your mouth and throw away a perfectly good bowl of exquisitely prepared soup to replace it with the "correct" dish? they realized they made a mistake and didn't even let you finish the course they incorrectly served you? they would rather snatch it away from you while eating it and throw it in the trash? that alone would make me get up and leave and ask for a refund for my ridiculous $500 meal and never come back to this stupid restaurant.

      I’m glad someone felt the same way I did about this. I’ve *never* heard of this happening, ever. They literally took a served dish away from a guest without clear explanation? To let you know how serious this is for a restaurant at this level, if it happened while Michelin was rating them, they would’ve lost one or even two of their stars. Michelin aside, the lack of transparency is alarming. Was there something wrong with it? Did they inadvertently contaminate it with an non-vegan ingredient, or one that was past its expiration date? Either way, it would’ve been a huge red flag.

    • @imperfecthippie

    Thanks for that! I thought it was really well done. I'm an omnivore trying to cut down on animal product intake, so it was really interesting for me to see what they're actually doing at EMP. For me, I still have the habit of wanting something substantial and "meaty" for the main savory course; I don't know that I would've been satisfied with that zucchini dish.
    Your descriptions were good - don't worry about technical cooking terms, you expressed things really well - but I'd really like to know what they were using for their "butter". Maybe ask the Captain if he knows? Thanks!

      I'm glad you enjoyed ir, and I can see the artistic slant, but I've always preferred hearty peasant food, personally.

      @@imperfecthippie I can guarantee you that concerts of the world's best musicians are significantly cheaper lol. Wether it's the Concertgebouw Orchestra or Depeche Mode, you'd pay 50-100 euros to see them live.

    I guess it matters how cute an animal is before Vegans care what does to feed them.
    R.I.P all the ground nesting g birder, deer fawn, rabbits, groundhogs & countless other animals who die by the millions in just the production amd tilling of Quinoa fields.

      What do you think we feed livestock? The largest proportion of the foods you’re thinking of (like soy) are grown to feed livestock, not humans. So eating vegan reduces the amount of animals that die that via plant farming practices too.
