Le Grand Fooding returns to NY with the first
Time Mach'Inn prototype in the world!
FIRST STOP : THE FUSION CUISINE YEARS (1991–99)
Traveling back through the contemporary history of taste, the Time Mach'Inn will make its first stop in the era of Fusion Cuisine (1991–99), with Peter Gordon, New Zealand's greatest chef, considered a culinary deity by Londoners. Gordon's disciples, including Madonna, Ralph Lauren, and Nick Cave, would go in procession to The Sugar Club (1995–99) to savor spicy kangaroo salad or scallops with sweet chili sauce and crème fraîche. Of course, the British, proud of their very own Sugar Man, called it "new British food." But The Sugar Club was and always will remain one of the most exciting international temples of Fusion Cuisine. Having recently opened a new Sugar Club in Auckland, foodie hub of his native New Zealand, Gordon has compiled the best memories of his swinging London years to take us back to 1995 with his signature "Plantain, tamarind, coconut soup with goat cheese and smoked salmon dumpling" dish, paired with a 90's style Jameson Black Barrel cocktail by Jeanette Levis, Jameson Ambassador.
SECOND STOP : THE BISTRONOMY YEARS (1998–2007)
Traveling back through the contemporary history of taste, the Time Mach'Inn will make its second stop in the Bistronomy era, with the exceptional participation of Yves Camdeborde, the first great emancipated French chef. Light-years ahead of his peers, the young Camdeborde discarded the opulence of luxury establishments (he was the sous-chef at Hôtel de Crillon at the time) to open La Régalade, a low-key bistro on the outskirts of Paris, so he could "cook for friends." On the menu of this historic first neo-bistro? Nothing overblown—affordable prices, a carefully sourced and constantly changing selection of produce and wine, as well as regional specialties and bistro classics revisited with a contemporary twist. Among the cult favorites that launched his reputation and continue to be enjoyed at Le Comptoir du Relais, his impossible-to-get-in hotel bistro, are the foie gras–filled ravioli and the caramelized rice pudding. The hero of a new generation of French restaurateurs (from Inaki Aizpitarte of Le Chateaubriand to Bertrand Grébaut of Septime) will be pleased to whip up these choice dishes for New York Bistronomists.
THIRD STOP : THE FARM-TO-TABLE YEARS (2008–13)
The last stop for our Time Mach'Inn is at the gates of the near future! We find ourselves in the era of haute farm dining, that started on the down-low in the California microclimate before it became the new culinary ethos of hipster chefs from San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris, and Copenhagen. Their motto: simple fare—dishes prepared with the freshest possible ingredients and a high level of attention. The Frankies' hometown, Brooklyn, world capital of cool with its farmers' and flea markets, its love of artisanal products, and its funky restaurants, is the mecca for product-driven eaters craving handcrafted sausage or a plate of fennel, celery root, and parsley. Frank Castronovo and Frank Falcinelli, ultimate local pioneer chefs, will remain faithful to this spirit and show the guests of Le Fooding Time Mach'Inn a perfect illustration of what they cheekily call a celebration of the "gifts of nature."
