From eater.com, some deets on the new Keller restaurant planned for the Hudson Yards development on Manhattan's east side that that resulted from rezoning.
Bicoastal chef Thomas Keller is in charge of much of the dining options at Hudson Yards, and besides that input, he’s also opening a restaurant of his own over on the fifth and sixth floors of The Shops. Tentatively called TAK Room, the 200-seater will be less pricey than his tasting menu flagships French Laundry and Per Se. Luxury, though, likely won’t be totally absent; the chef has said it will have some Mad Men-era touches, reflecting “a time when the fanciest food in America was called continental cuisine.”
It’s a big deal: Keller is one of the most influential fine dining chefs in the country, and this will be his first new restaurant in about a decade.
Love the "continental" reference--that's the food I grew up on, and I have a place forever in my heart for it.
