100 days of Pope Leo XIV: a calm papacy that avoids polemics is coming into focus
VATICAN CITY (AP) — When Pope Leo XIV surprised tens of thousands of young people at a recent Holy Year celebration with an impromptu popemobile romp around St. Peter's Square, it almost seemed as if some of the informal spontaneity that characterized Pope Francis' 12-year papacy had returned to the Vatican. But the message Leo delivered that night was all his own: In seamless English, Spanish and Italian, Leo told the young people that they were the 'salt of the Earth, the light of the world.' He urged them to spread their hope, faith in Christ and their cries of peace wherever they go.

The world's only three Michelin-starred vegan restaurant is bringing back meat
After four vegan years, chef Daniel Humm announced he's bringing meat back to the menu at Eleven Madison Park The three-Michelin-starred Eleven Madison Park was named No. 1 in The World's 50 Best Restaurants in 2017. Photo byChef 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.'

Access articles from across Canada with one account Share your thoughts and join the conversation in the comments Enjoy additional articles per month Get email updates from your favourite authors 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. '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 😂' Essential reading for hockey fans who eat, sleep, Canucks, repeat.

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. Alain Passard phased out red meat at his Paris restaurant Arpège 24 years ago to focus on vegetables he grows in his gardens. Photo by Bertrand Guay/AFP via Getty Images 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. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 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. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 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.'
