    12/11/2019 Review: Choose your own dining adventure at stunning new Auburn - Los Angeles Times LOG IN FOOD Review: Choose your own dining adventure at stunning new Auburn The interior of Auburn includes live greenery and trees and, weather permitting, an open skylight. (Silvia Razgova / For the Times ) By BILL ADDISON JULY 3, 2019 3 AM RESTAURANT CRITIC https://www.latimes.com/food/la-fo-auburn-restaurant-melrose-fine-dining-bill-addison-20190703-story.html 1/14 12/11/2019 Review: Choose your own dining adventure at stunning new Auburn - Los Angeles Times Opt for six courses. Bring a jacket or wrap if you chill easily. Don’t think too hard about the intimidating-looking mound of box crab meat with various essences of tomato and seaweed. Simply plunge your spoon in and devour it all. Don’t stare too long at the gorgeous frozen rose parfait. It’ll start to collapse and melt. Yes, it tastes like roses, but not in a musty perfumed sort of way. The tree growing in the dining room is a purple-leaf acacia. If you disdain tasting menus, eat à la carte instead at the wide, comfortable bar. My thoughts come fast and fervently for Auburn, the most exhilarating splurge-worthy restaurant to open in Los Angeles so far this year. Chef Eric Bost has spent decades working for some of the most decorated chefs in the world, including Alain Ducasse at Paris’s Plaza Athénée and Guy Savoy, for whom he served as executive chef in Las Vegas and Singapore.

  • Kitchens & Chefs of California Wine Country
    http://www.petergreenberg.com/2010/05/28/kitchens-chefs-of-california-wine-country-postcard- from-suzy-gershman/ Kitchens & Chefs of California Wine Country: Postcard from Suzy Gershman Dear Peter, As you know, I have been drinking my way through California’s Wine Country in the past year as I research Born to Shop California Wine Country (available at Amazon.com and other retailers in July). One of the things I’ve learned is that where there’s wine, there’s always good food. All of the grape-growing areas are taking on chefs and eateries to enhance the destination; Napa has three multi-star Michelin chefs who are working with vintners and visitors. So I’ve got news and then I’ve got more news. STARS AT NIGHT Stars are especially big and bright at Meadowood, the premier resort in the Napa Valley. You will see those stars because it’s very dark here as you drive from your deluxe cabin in the woods to dinner … and because there are stars on the plate: as in, two Michelin stars for the last three years in a row. Christopher Kostow is the in-residence chef and one of the few two-star ranked chefs in Napa. He changes his carte seasonally, so Sarah and I have been forced to go there often (for scientific reasons, of course). One of the most amazing things about this restaurant is that despite the ranking of the chef and the quality of the dishes, the prices are not big-city. Dinner at $75 has to be considered a bargain.

  • Aperitif, an Eclectic Fine Dining Experience That Explores the World Through Flavours of the Indonesian Archipelago
    APERITIF, AN ECLECTIC FINE DINING EXPERIENCE THAT EXPLORES THE WORLD THROUGH FLAVOURS OF THE INDONESIAN ARCHIPELAGO Singapore, XX September 2018 – Set amid a lush jungle valley setting, a stone’s throw from the central Ubud, Apéritif is Bali’s newest and most unique fine dining destination. The menu explores global cuisine by way of the Indonesian archipelago, introducing a melange of flavours that reflect the borderless nature of today’s world. Belgian Executive Chef Nic Vanderbeeken takes culinary influences from the old Spice Islands and combines it with distinctly modern European flavours and cooking techniques. The sophisticated, eight-course degustation menu presents an unrivalled culinary journey that brings together the flavours of modern gastronomy, lesser-known Indonesian ingredients, exquisite produce sourced globally, and the property’s own greenhouse harvest. The renowned European tradition of enjoying apéritifs—pre-dinner drinks and snacks to stimulate the appetite—has been seamlessly integrated into the restaurant. Each evening begins with a complimentary pre-dinner apéritif and canapés at the Bar, a spot that evokes a buzzing Roaring Twenties atmosphere. The elegant restaurant design is also a nod to Indonesia’s Dutch colonial past. Using culinary training garnered from various kitchens around the world, the kitchen team expertly infuses hints of Indonesia’s rich gastronomic culture with contemporary global cuisine. “The menu highlights the wealth of experience we have from immersing ourselves in culinary cultures all over the world. We wanted to showcase what an eclectic and well-constructed global menu looks like,” said Chef Nic. “We are constantly experimenting with a myriad of native herbs, fruits and produce available here, and incorporating it into our highly technical degustation menu.

FAQs 1. What do you think of Ubud/Bali/Indonesia’s fine dining scene? In my eyes, fine dining restaurants in Bali are quite limited at the moment, but always growing. There are amazing restaurants and chefs that are creative and innovative, but don’t necessarily fall into the classic “fine dining” category. To me, fine dining is about the entire experience – from beautiful food and a gorgeous space to the attention to detail in the service and, also, the selection of wines helped by a talented sommelier and team.
