Two Michelin-starred French restaurants in New York City are set to collaborate for an exclusive Bastille Day dinner on July 14. Chef Andrea Calstier, from Westchester County's La Bastide, will cook alongside Chef Mitsunobu Nagae at Tribeca's l'abeille, a Franco-Japanese establishment. This highly anticipated event will feature a 12-course tasting menu that highlights a fusion of classical culinary artistry with innovative global influences.
Both chefs bring impressive pedigrees, having trained under culinary giants Joël Robuchon and Daniel Boulud, respectively. Chef Nagae, originally from Osaka, infuses French classics with a Japanese sensibility, utilizing ingredients like nori-infused butter and Koshihikari rice. Chef Calstier, meanwhile, anchors his cuisine in Provence but champions ingredients from New York's Hudson Valley, incorporating local produce like Honeycrisp apples and upstate New York foie gras.
The exclusive 12-course tasting menu is priced at $295 per person, with reservations facilitated through OpenTable. This collaboration offers a luxurious gastronomic experience, celebrating French heritage with a modern, international twist.
