Great deal Alert!!!

I was with one of my vendors from Japan Monday, and we decided to stop by Jean Georges for lunch. Partially because we had some business to conduct over there, but mostly because of the tremendous deal they have going right now.













After a successful restaurant week earlier in January, they decided to keep the $24 lunch prix fixe deal for the rest of the year.
I was a little skeptical about the quality, and portions I would get. After all, this is NY Times 4 Star/3 Star Michelin Jean Georges we're talking about... Their bottled water alone is $24...
Their normal entree a la carte go for $45!
Such was not the case.
The current economic climate in NYC has really brought out the competitiveness of all chefs and it's now their turn to be at the beck and call of us guests.
It's a diner's market right now and let's not be shy.


















Dishes served :
- Soy Glazed Beef Short Ribs, Apple Jalepeno Puree, Rosemary Crumbs **
- Parmesan Crusted Confit Leg of Chicken, Salsify, Basil and Lemon Butter **
- Pannacotta with Drunken Raisins and Earl Grey Jam **


I splurged on a great glass of Chardonnay, but it was totally worth it and really made the meal special.
