Thread: Noma (Denmark) - my 6 hour lunch @ one of the world's most influential restaurants

Are you kidding me, your reviews are fantastic, just like any other art form the artist always realizes that art and beauty is not always a stationary target, Steak is good, Burgers are good but these are not food just to satify your hunger this is a work of art.
Thanks for sharing

To each his own but as long as we respect our fellow members.

i want to try the eggs

Another glimpse into Chuck's fine dining experience always brings a smile to my face. I have introduced chuckeats.com to few colleagues who share the same passion for fine dining as I do, it's their new favorite site! Thanks Chuck!

Excellent as always! Looking forward to the London portion of your trip.

Haha the presentation fills all kinds of Scandinavian stereotypes I have in my mind. Minimalistic and clean without being pretentious.

How were those smoked quail eggs and what kind of tartar was that?

It was beef tartar and that's their signature dish - i actually ate at a very good place for lunch and they basically stole the dish :-P When the chef visited Manresa last year, they served it with ox and that was pretty special. This particular one - the beef was quite young and minimally dry-aged (if at all) - still very good with the wood sorrel - but I preferred the gaminess of the ox.

for those that are interested, the report finally wrote itself (i'm pretty happy with it but now i see why editors have jobs - would make my life a lot easier!):

I gotta say man I commend you! I love to eat but I don't think I could muster the guts to try 90% of that stuff.

As Samuel L Jackson said, Sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie but I'd never know. . .

Sure does look fancy!

i assure you no sewer rat was eaten... out of curiosity - what guts does it take to eat vegetables? people keep saying "i wouldn't try it" but i really don't understand why someone would not? what in this meal looks like it might kill you?

people's perception of food is pretty limited thanks to 24 hour supermarkets and industrial (and destructive) agriculture. if it does not come in a nice & shiny packages, does that make it inedible?

I'm going to be studying abroad in Denmark in a coming year... this place looks really interesting. Unusual, but I'm all for trying unusual culinary experiences... this may just creep its way up my to-do list as well...
