Description
Its always interesting to see a master of high-end cuisine dress down: Here you can order a beer with dinner, and you dont have to use your quiet voice in either of the chic dining rooms. Servers can tell you all about the country duck pâté, but they wont try to up-sell you on a pricey bottle of wine. Daniel Bouluds original $32 DB Burger (sirloin, braised short ribs, foie gras and black truffles on a Parmesan bun), which famously launched New Yorks haute-burger war, has been one-upped during truffle season by the $59 DB Burger Royale (topped with one layer of freshly shaved black truffles) and again with a $120 version (two layers).
