Gabriel Kreuther, the Alsatian chef who earned one Michelin star and two three-star review from the Times for Danny Meyer's MoMA restaurant, the Modern, is expected to open his solo project in Midtown's Grace Building within the month. So far even the name is still a mystery (though it's been nicknamed Gabriel), but the Wall Street Journal has managed to drum up a few new details.
First of all, he will not only be serving his classic tarte flambee, the dish he made an untouchable part of the Modern's menu, he will be serving four different kinds of tarte flambee, one made with uni and horseradish.
