Daniel Boulud is a master of his craft. The prodigious, world-renowned chef is considered one of America’s leading culinary experts and one of the most revered French chefs in New York City. Best known for his flagship restaurant, the eponymous DANIEL, Chef Boulud has pioneered traditional French cooking in the 21st century. This year celebrates the 20th anniversary of DANIEL, which remains one of the few Manhattan restaurants to have a coveted three-star Michelin rating. Since then, Chef Boulud has continued with a trajectory toward ever-more-casual restaurants, including db Bistro Moderne; DBGB Kitchen and Bar; Bar Boulud; Café Boulud; Boulud Sud and Épicerie Boulud. Boulud is the author of seven cookbooks and was named a Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur by the French government, as well as Chef of the Year 2011 by The Culinary Institute of America.
