Jean Georges Foie Gras Brulee

Hi there,

two years ago, I had foie gras brulee at Jean George and was simply overwhelmed. For this years christmas dinner I'd like to produce something at least similiar at home - do you have any idea how he does it?
I posted this accidentally in the new york board first, sorry for asking twice.
many thanks for every hint and help,
best,
Tobi

Hereford Road vs. Harwood Arms [London]

Hi there,

I'll be spending a weekend in London in January and need a decision: shall I go for Hereford Road or Harwood Arms? What are the pros and cons of the two?
Wont make it to both since saturday is already reserved for St. John.
I am also thinking about renting a car, heading to seasalter for a day at the beach and lunch at the sportman. Is it worth it if you are in Londond for only three full days?
Thanks a lot

lunch at jean georges

very happy to hear that, getting more and more excited :)
the must have dishes where my question indeed, glad you didn't mention the caviar egg!

I think I'm with you on the sea scallops and the veal but I have to try the garlic soup with frog legs - only had frog legs once in paris and was very disappointed - there must be more to them.
for dessert I'm afraid I cant skip the chocolate cake, just to see what a 3 star chocolate cake tastes like! I'll try to talk my girlfriend into the peaches...

Do you have any recommendations for good breakfast places around 88th St., 1st Av? I happily walk some blocks for good bacon and coffee.

Any other tips for meals at any time of the day in this area are also appreciated.

thanks a lot for all the help so far
