It is impossible to overstate the fervor with which the second coming of Daniel Rose’s Spring was anticipated. Faithful fans and the soon-to-be-converted are all hoping to be saved by a meal here. The menu changes constantly, according to the season and D-Rose’s whim. Update September 2011 - Now serving lunch on Wednesday & Friday, in addition to dinner Tuesday through Saturday.
- Daniel Rose, in the second installment of a rather candid interview, admits that Spring cost €1.4 million to open but he’s earning only €1800 per month, that the restaurant is “fragile,” and that’s he’s close to burnt out. Anyone attending Spring’s lobster sandwich picnic on Saturday afternoon is encouraged to give this poor bastard a hug. [Eater]
- Aaron is crushing on ”Le Petit Têtu,” a white Burgundy from Jean-Marie Berrux that he recently rediscovered at Le Garde Robe. “It’s a crisp, coiled Chardonnay, replete with whipcrack acidity and bedrock mineral. Which is to say its a fair ringer for actual Puligny-Montrachet, at a fraction of the price.” [Not Drinking Poison in Paris]
- “I don’t have the capacity or the technique to run a kitchen with more than one menu. It would be a disaster.” So says Daniel Rose. [Eater]
- Dorie Greenspan dares to sample the range of pastries at McCafé — made by Ladurée parent company Holder — and warns Starbucks that they need to “up their game”. Dear Starbucks: The lady knows what she’s talking about. [Dorie Greenspan]
- François Simon calls the San Pellegrino rankings a “farce” that appears every spring like “a measles epidemic”. “It’s hard enough to classify the restaurants of the sixth arrondissement,” he says. [Simon Says!]
Before launching at 5:00 this morning, the PbM crew celebrated the new website with a few hundred glasses at Spring Boutique.
