and his executive chef, Christophe Bellanca–the masterminds behind the
magic of the legendary New York restaurant that has built a reputation
on offering a dining experience filled with opulence and pure
indulgence.
“Le Cirque has always been a place where the worlds
of food, fashion, art and culture collide”, says Mr. Maccioni,
who has wined and dined high-society in New York for nearly half a
century.
So with full enthusiasm and ready to surrender to indulgence, I happily open the door to the James Beard House
for a dinner with Christophe Bellanca to pamper my palate. And as you
can see in the slide show below…each dish was bold, beautiful and
done to perfection.
