What Restaurants Serve Themselves When You’re Not Around

The front of the house chows down at Buddakan.Photo courtesy City Magazine.

It's a truism of the restaurant business that you can tell a lot about a place by what it feeds its staff. The so-called “family meal” can be as good as anything on the menu, or industrial grub worthy of a city lockup. City magazine looks at the staff meals at Per Se (fried chicken, potato salad, and coleslaw), Gramercy Tavern (coq au vin and strawberry shortcake, among eight other courses), Allen & Delancey (curried lamb shoulder with couscous), and Chanterelle (fried catfish), among others. Even the staff meals at Per Se come off as a little buttoned-up, but reading about the friendly atmosphere and copious amounts of self-serve feeding at Centovini or Chanterelle gives you some idea of why people like working in the business, despite its infamously low pay and horrific working conditions.

Macao Trading Co. Brings On Waltuck, Prepares for Fall Opening

David Waltuck will channel Macao.Photo: Patrick McMullan

Macao Trading Co. is set to open in September and partner Jay Kosmas has taken steps to make his restaurant and lounge a notable addition to Tribeca. First, he brought on Chanterelle's David Waltuck, a lifelong student of Asian food, as executive chef. Kosmas and his fellow Employees Only partners also took a recent trip to Macao to research its hybrid of Portuguese and Cantonese cookery. “We had curried crab, garlic prawns, and African chicken with tons of spices — Africa was part of the Portuguese trade route,“ Kosmas explains. “There was a fantastic duck slow-cooked in its own juices. The sauces were amazing — they where homogeneous, like you see in Chinatown, but filled with visibly different kinds of curry and spices, and delicious bits and lumps in the texture. There are so many things that I can't wait to see on our menu.”

Update: Kosmas has just informed us that David Waltuck will be the restaurant's executive chef, not a consultant.

Where to Go for Restaurant Week

New York Restaurant Week is coming round again next month (January 24–25 and January 28–February 1), and today the reservation lines open up. We’ve always loved the whole concept, even though at some restaurants you get a simplified menu that may not do the place justice. But what’s great about the deal ($24.07 for lunch, $35 for dinner) is the chance it gives you to try places you might not otherwise get to if you had to pay full fare. Who rolls the dice when they know they’re looking at dropping two bills at the end of the meal? But at these prices, you can afford to see where you stand on places you may only have read about. Think of it as an introductory trial offer. We would recommend the following:

Revolutions don’t happen overnight, so we weren’t shocked that only one of the three Beard Award categories reversed tradition. Still, last night’s ceremony officially ushered in a new era in fine dining.
