Quotes

"And I'm floating through, flushing as we land at the Michelin Bib Gourmand rated Jiangnan, where they serve Maxi's most favorite Peking duck she's ever had."

"When we entered this space, immediately, my first thought was, this place has aura."

"The Peking duck, usually, they would serve you in the steamed bun. Why this is so special, to me at least, is because I grew up eating Peking duck with this thin crepe. It's like a face mask."

"I always start with, obviously, a piece of duck. A little bit of cucumber, a little bit of the chives."

Danny Kim

"The reviewer visits Au Cheval in New York, eager to try its highly ranked double smash burger. The experience is marked by anticipation and sticker shock at the $40 price tag, but the burger arrives loaded with gourmet toppings like maple-glazed bacon, avocado, and a perfectly cooked egg. While the presentation and ingredients impress, the reviewer finds the burger a bit too complex, feeling that the beef and sauce flavors are lost among the many add-ons."
