Bouley Wire

In 1985, when David Bouley opened the critically acclaimed Montrachet, the tasting menu was a brand new concept in New York City. On how diners responded: "There were a lot of challenges. People sometimes thought they were going to eat too much, that there was too much food. They thought it was going to take too long...Those people that didn't understand it or had to break away from packing food in...those people were silently victims of the tasting menu. The others were adventurous, curious. They loved it." [Grandlife]
