The Stars are Shining at Gotham

This week acclaimed publications The Michelin Guide and Esquire magazine announce their lists of the culinary world’s best and brightest.

We are proud to announce Chelf Alfred Portale was inducted into Esquire Magazine’s Restaurant Hall of Fame last evening. Alfred was honored for manning the kitchen since 1985 and turning out food that is astonishing in both its flavor and its ability to satisfy.

Along with co-inductee Danny Meyer, Alfred was acknowledged not only for his multiple stars and prestigious James Beard Awards but, more importantly for making and constantly reinventing the kind of bold American cuisine he helped define at Gotham. More on this prestigious new award in the November issue of Esquire, on stands Oct 13.

Last evening also was the release of the 4th annual Michelin Guide New York City. There are a total of 55 starred restaurants in the 2010 New York City guide, and Gotham Bar and Grill has once again upheld its one-star rating.

We enjoyed a fantastic week. We look forward to having you join us at Gotham soon.
