Daniel Boulud and I

My most recent pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/jdorrian2334

I was able to experience the newest addition to world famous chef Daniel Boulud's restuarant empire last night. Maison Boulud has literally just opened in the past couple of days in a little square of the city called the Legation Quarter. The LQ houses about 6 or 7 former embassies and Maison Boulud is located in what is the former US Embassy. What a unique set up for a restaurant!! Lots of history in it too (obviously). The red/pink room where President Richard Nixon spent some time is still in perfect form and has been converted into a private dining area within MB.

Daniel stopped by our table and chatted with us. It was his first day in the functional restaurant and he claims that we took the very first pictures of him in his new restaurant. Sorta cool.

Here's the crew that enjoyed the dining experience. Chef Daniel Boulud is in the middle with the suit jacket and lavender shirt:
