Mémé Is Memorable

Posted by Foobooz on December 11th, 2008

Mémé

David Snyder dines at David Katz’s Mémé and is taken back to a world less complicated.

For Katz, “rustic” and “simple” are not terms of limitation — they’re opportunities to impress. While the kitchen builds all of its plates with elements that have compatible chemistries, Mémé is at its best when it applies a technique in an inventive way to make classic flavors taste even better than you remember.
