Of the Vongerichten establishments I have tried, I do agree with <A HREF="http://events.nytimes.com/2006/08/16/dining/reviews/16rest.html?n=Top%2fReference%2fTimes%20Topics%2fPeople%2fV%2fVongerichten%2c%20Jean%2dGeorges" REL="nofollow">Frank Bruni's</A> assessment that Perry Street and Restaurant Jean Georges showcase the best of his empire. Vong was a slightly better rendition of Trader Vic's, and to be honest, I was surprised to see Jean Georges Vongerichten's name associated with V Steakhouse. I think Chef Vongerichten is a genius, but he is only one person. Notwithstanding that any of his places would be markedly better whenever he stops in and checks progress, I would expect that for the most part people are experiencing what the chefs de cuisine at each of those places have to offer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19908578.post-1158015796833664942006-09-11T16:03:00.000-07:002006-09-11T16:03:00.000-07:00Hello,Have you eaten at any of JGV's other restaur...Hello,<BR/><BR/>Have you eaten at any of JGV's other restaurants: Vong, JoJo, Mercer Kitchen, 66 etc?<BR/><BR/>What do you think of Bruni's (NYT) assessment of Mr. Vongerichten?<BR/><BR/>Curious.<BR/><BR/>Stevie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
