#ICECOLDBEV: Eleven Madison Park Goes Vegan!

Fine dining in NYC will forever be changed! 

This morning, Eleven Madison Park’s Chef & Owner, Daniel Humm, announced that EMP (which has been closed throughout quarantine) will return back on June 10th, 2021, but with a completely different menu.

There will be no more divine cuts of meat, no more perfectly cooked seafood, no more cream-based pastas. 

Yes, that’s right, EMP’s menu has officially gone plant-based, however, they will still serve honey and milk — so officially they cannot call themselves a “vegan restaurant”. (Side note: Who is making the rules on these labels???)

Regardless, us meat-eaters are heartbroken! We know eating some meat is bad for the environment (aka cows and their methane), but not all types of meat cause environmental trade-offs. In fact, scientists and archaeologists will argue that meat eating is pivotal in establishing a well-functioning society. 

I guess the vegans won this battle.
