The world's only three Michelin-starred vegan restaurant is bringing back meat
Chef Daniel Humm made history when he reopened New York City's Eleven Madison Park (EMP) with an entirely meatless menu in 2021. It became the world's first three Michelin-starred vegan restaurant the following year. After making the switch as a ' creative leap and a climate imperative ,' Humm announced on Wednesday that he's bringing meat back to the menu, telling The New York Times , 'I didn't realize that we would exclude people.' As of Oct. 14, Eleven Madison Park's menu — seven to nine courses for US$365 ($504) — will include meat and seafood options, including the restaurant's signature lavender-honey glazed duck. An all-vegan menu will still be available. Discover the best of B.C.'s recipes, restaurants and wine. By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

'I have some anxiety that people are going to say, 'Oh, he's a hypocrite,' but I know that the best way to continue to champion plant-based cooking is to let everyone participate around the table,' Humm told The Times. According to the comments on a post announcing the menu update, his fears were warranted. 'Oh, so the whole 'changing the world with plant-based cuisine' act was only good while it brought headlines and customers?' one Instagram user commented. Another said, 'Claiming inclusivity is the reason when you're charging $400 (per person) is absolutely wild 😂' Humm told The Times that fluctuating finances were also a factor. Sparse bookings for private events and a slump in wine sales were challenging. 'It's hard to get 30 people for a corporate dinner to come to a plant-based restaurant.' Eleven Madison Park's announcement coincides with another acclaimed chef deepening his commitment to plant-based food. Once known as a leading rotisserie, chef Alain Passard's Paris restaurant Arpège became the first three-Michelin-starred establishment in France to switch to an entirely plant-based menu on July 21. Honey from Passard's beehives prevents the restaurant from being vegan. Passard has run the fine-dining destination for nearly 40 years, and it has held three stars since 1996. Once known as a leading rotisserie, he phased out red meat at Arpège 24 years ago and has focused instead on the vegetables he grows in his gardens in the west of France. Like Humm, Passard told AFP he's motivated by environmental concerns. But he's driven primarily by the culinary challenge of cooking plant-based food. 'There's light in this cuisine,' Passard said. 'There are taste sensations that I've never experienced anywhere else.' Humm said in a statement announcing Eleven Madison Park's return to meat that he and his team 'felt liberated and cracked open' by the post-pandemic plant-based focus, creating eggless meringues, butter-free mille-feuille, koji stocks and 'land caviar.' Coinciding with the vegan shift, they started the four-acre Magic Farms in Hoosick Falls, New York, in 2021 to supply the restaurant's vegetables. While Eleven Madison Park retained its Michelin stars, Humm's vegan dishes received mixed reviews. 'Some are so obviously standing in for meat or fish that you almost feel sorry for them,' Pete Wells, former restaurant critic for The Times, wrote in 2021 . Over four vegan years, Humm said they've been paying attention to guests' feedback. 'The all-or-nothing approach was necessary to develop our expertise, but that, too, comes with its own limitations. As a chef, I want to continue to open paths, not close them,' he wrote. 'As I approach my 20th anniversary at EMP, I've decided it's time for change again.'

Antony Starr pens farewell note for his 'Homelander' character as 'The Boys' final season wraps shooting
Washington, DC [US], August 14 (ANI): Actor Antony Starr penned an emotional goodbye to his 'The Boys' character Homelander on Wednesday as the Amazon series wrapped production on its fifth and final season. In his Instagram handle, Antony Starr penned a long, heartfelt caption and posted some behind-the-scenes photos from the superhero satire. The actor called his character 'Homelander' a true 'highlight' of his career. 'Difficult (for me) to put into words what an incredible ride this has been. How much life and growth has occurred. How amazing the team is. It's truly been the highlight of my career,' Starr wrote. 'When we began, I had no idea what was coming. This juggernaut left the station and never stopped. Except for that Covid moment. Oh and the strikes. That was a thing too. But apart from those two times, it never stopped, boldly making its mark on the television landscape. There's nothing else like it. It lives in its own lane,' added Antony Starr. With production on the final season having wrapped, Starr then handed out thank yous to 'the incredible Canadian crew. The amazing production team. The insanely talented cast. The people at Amazon and Sony that took a chance on this insane thing(and made the great choice in casting me)and all the other people that contributed in some way, big or small, to this beautiful, complex, warped, delicious show.' The actor then thanked showrunner Eric Kripke, whom he called his 'co-parent with his twisted gem of a character'. 'We created a monster, sir. And I will miss him, and you. Till we roll out the last season. When I'll see you. But this creative chapter is closed, and I'll miss it, brother,' added Starr. 'The Boys' first debuted in 2019 and has received both commercial and critical acclaim, landing eight Emmy nominations, including for outstanding drama series. Though the final season of 'The Boys' isn't expected to air until next year, spinoff series 'Gen V', which follows college-aged supes, is set to premiere its second season on September 17. (ANI)

'It is something very special. For as long as I know what soccer means, Thomas Muller is on the top. And I see him here after 22 years coming to Canada in Vancouver, I'm just excited,' he said. 'He helped us win the World Cup in 2014,' young Germany fan Sebastian Konkobor said. 'I had a feeling when they said he was coming to MLS I had a slight feeling (he would come to Vancouver), but I wasn't sure. I saw it, and I was like refreshing the Instagram every day.' 2:54 German soccer legend Thomas Müller brings star power to Vancouver Whitecaps The excitement began growing earlier Wednesday when Müller posted to Instagram from his plane. Story continues below advertisement 'I'm on my flight to Vancouver. I'm looking for the GOAT. Can you help me? I cannot find him anywhere,' Müller wrote. 'It's my first flight without Manuel Neuer since maybe 15 years, I don't know. I'm very excited to come to Vancouver to play for the Whitecaps. Fingers crossed for my first games. See you there.' The Whitecaps will be Müller's first ever assignment with a team other than Bayern Munich. The star signed with the club's academy at just 10 years old, and went on to become one of its biggest names, racking up 1e Bundesliga titles and two champions leagues along the way, in addition to a World Cup win with Germany in 2014. Vancouver said last week Müller will join the Whitecaps for the remainder of the season in an open roster spot, with a Designated Player option for 2026. He is expected to make his debut at BC Place on Sunday when the Whitecaps host the Houston Dynamo.
