One of New York\u2019s most famous fine-dining restaurants was butchered in a review by The New York Times<\/em>, who revealed the newly revamped all-vegan dining spot has a secret beef room for the rich. <\/p>\n

Eleven Madison Park earned the number one spot on the World\u2019s 50 Best Restaurants list back in 2017 and has welcomed a star-studded list of diners over the years such as Gigi Hadid, Zayn Malik and Victoria Beckham. Sex and the City has featured the restaurant in several episodes. <\/p>\n

In May, chef Daniel Humm decided to remove meat and seafood from the menu, after explaining that: \u201cThe current food system is simply not sustainable, in so many ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, in a stunningly bad review, restaurant critic Pete Wells revealed that people can book a private dining room at the three-Michelin-Star restaurant until the end of the year. <\/p>\n

It \u201cincludes an optional beef dish, roasted tenderloin with fermented peppers and black lime\u201d, which Wells described as a metaphor for Manhattan. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s some kind of metaphor for Manhattan, where there\u2019s always a higher level of luxury, a secret room where the rich eat roasted tenderloin while everybody else gets an eggplant canoe\u201dHe wrote: <\/p>\n

Wells proceeded to slam a beetroot dish served in a clay pot that is broken open, saying it \u201ctastes like Lemon Pledge and smells like a burning joint.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then offered his candid view on the restaurant\u2019s vegetable dishes, saying that they were \u201cdoing things no root vegetable should be asked to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSome are so obviously standing in for meat or fish that you almost feel sorry for them\u201d, he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cTime and again, delicate flavors are hijacked by some harsh, unseen ingredient\u201d, Wells writes, before claiming that \u201cThe servers offer few explanations for the doctored flavors, and no warnings, either.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ingredients look normal until you take a bite and realize you\u2019ve entered the plant kingdom\u2019s uncanny valley\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n

Ouch. <\/p>\n
