Craig LaBan Praises Eli Kulp’s Fork

Posted by Foobooz on January 7th, 2013

Craig LaBan positively raves about chef Eli Kulp and the lastest chapter of Ellen Yin’s Fork.He even goes as far as saying the restaurant has four-bell potential.

The real “problem” here is that Kulp’s food is just so hauntingly good. For those who legitimately worried when proprietor Ellen Yin lost Terence Feury, the star chef who brought Fork its third bell, rest assured: His successor, a veteran of New York hot spots like Del Posto, Casa Lever, and Torrisi Italian Specialties, is a serious talent. And with his arrival, Yin has managed the improbable, taking a 15-year-old citywide favorite and reinventing it as something even better – current and fresh, yet sophisticated in a grown-up way so many new restaurants just can’t muster.

Three Bells – Excellent

      That mural is ugly. Food is good though.

      The thought of a 15yo restaurant – ambitious and lovingly kept – becoming the city’s hottest is nice. Hope this 3 bell review helps that.

      They have reinvented themselves firstly with Terence Fleury and now with Eli Kulp which is great since some places never change(I’m thinking of Alma De Cuba) with time.
