Before the pandemic, Eleven Madison Park, one of the best restaurants in the world, was famous for its smoked lavender honey glazed duck and butter poached lobster. When Humm reopened Eleven Madison Park last summer, however, he announced that “we’ve made the decision to serve a plant-based menu in which we do not use any animal products.” Every dish , from then on, was to be made from vegetables, both from the earth and the sea, as well as fruits, legumes, fungi, grains and so much more, said Humm.
