Jeremy Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 That is the NY menu though..London menu here :http://balthazarlondon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Balthazar_Dinner_Menu_2FEBRUARY2015_-border.pdf Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/55318-menu-for-dulwich-fox/#findComment-830118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_carnell Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Thats about ?20.It's just off Times Sq I think - and one of NYC's signature restaurants.And shrimp aren't shrimp - they'll be langoustine/gambas/mahoosivemotherfuckers so not a horrendous price.If you want to play that game may I present restaurant Paul Bocuse:http://www.bocuse.fr/upload/File/auberge/carte-menu-paul-bocuse/201409-Carte-Menus-uk.pdf That's a chicken for 225Euros! Why bother when Iceland do two for a fiver, eh? Eh?! EH?!

Jeremy Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Yep, prices are steep but not totally ridiculous.DC's link is much more impressive. 30 Euro for fruit salad. 65 Euro for a pigeon. One bloody pigeon... damn...Always wanted to try Bresse chicken though. Apparently the place to go for affordable poulet de Bresse is a service station on the A39.

DulwichFox Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Read the small print at the foot of the Menu.. Eating raw or undercooked fish, shellfish, eggs or meat increases the risk of foodborne illnesses Says it all .

david_carnell Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Not really. That's the USA - home of pointless litigation.I'll happily take my chances with steak tartare, oysters, sashimi etc. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/55318-menu-for-dulwich-fox/#findComment-830178 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I think we've already figured that out, John!Anyone who won't eat sushi, sashimi, ceviche, oysters, rare meat, etc because of food poisoning paranoia is barking mad IMO (except if you're pregnant, maybe).Had some very nice raw red prawns at Rex and Mariano over the weekend...

david_carnell Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 The Actress refused to serve me a medium-rare burger the other night. Tells you all you need to know about the quality of their meat and confidence in freshness.

david_carnell Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I know I know....but I'd had pizza a couple of days before, was en famile so wasn't trekking to town for a burger. I thought things might have trickled down and improved. No such luck.

I don't think they are allowed to serve burgers med-rare for health/safety reasons. At least that was the case a few years ago somewhere else. Burgers were always cooked well-done regardless.

It just seems a simple get-out for restaurants who are risk-averse.How do some places get away with it and others claim they can't? Seems like the usual H&S scaremongering without any facts to back it up.

DulwichFox Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 The Bishop used to sell them Medium Rare.. even almost raw.. In the early days they were made from Aged Sirloin Beef in a Toasted Sourdough bun. With fresh salad, Chilli relish and Stokes Tomato Ketchup.. Last time I was in there The Burgers were awful. Not that I actually eat many burgers my self.

Help-Ma-Boab Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Meatliquor good burgers, and rare. See also Honest Burgers. The Montpellier does rare burgers and a 2 for 1 deal on Mondays.Jeremy, Saturday at around 3pm. No queuing involved. It's my go to place once John Lewis beats me....Anyhow, trying to get back on topic. Had a steak up The Shard last week (Shangri La) pricey but nice and tasted better as Brother in law paid as a rare treat...Was a huge lump of meat.

aquarius moon Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I guess it depends how strict they are about adhering to the rules.I used to work somewhere & the chefs were just not allowed to serve the burgers anything less than well-done & they did as they were told for fear of the consequences.

Help-Ma-Boab Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Yes, I've been places where they have said they can't do rare and cook them well done only. Can't recall where that was now. I've just had a burger at work as there is a farmers market every Tuesday. Didn't ask for it rare but it was when I bit into it. That's how I like them but others maybe not so much.

david_carnell Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I've read a book about Bocuse. He's a pompous twit. But his cooking revolutionised the world. No exaggeration. That chicken is expensive to begin with. It's a Bresse. They retail at about 30Euros so double it for restaurant prices. You get the whole thing.It's then stuffed with truffles. That's probably another 100Euros.Then it's put inside a pigs bladder which is filled with wine, port and brandy. Another 100Euros of ingredients.It's disgusting and obscene to pay that much but I'm told the smell when it's brought to the table and the bladder is cut open to reveal the chicken makes God weep with joy.http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/06/14/ba/57/bresse-chicken-cooked.jpg Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/55318-menu-for-dulwich-fox/#findComment-830280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Maybe you could try making that image a tad smaller, david!I'm not really a huge truffle fan... certainly don't think any dish needs more than a subtle shaving of it to get more than enough of the flavour. It can be really overpowering and pungent. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/55318-menu-for-dulwich-fox/#findComment-830281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
