I wouldn’t have thought of it, but you’re right. The Kosher fish list identifies several species of Turbot as Kosher, but clearly states: not including: European turbot, which is presumably what you have there.

I really liked my food there two weeks ago but there was no tasting menu and the prices were bloated, imo.

I wonder how NY Magazine didn’t know that Hung and Marcel were friends. In the pre- season 3 face-off between season 1’s and season 2’s best chefs, the season 3 contestants were judges and Hung said hi to Marcel and said that they were friends.

Apparently they don’t pay attention to their TV.

Sheesh.

from ny magazine- Marcel will be in the kitchen with Hung on the days leading up to the event, so if you want to meet him in the flesh, stop in to Solo on the April 1 or 2. The two most unpopular members of the cast of Top Chef seasons two and three, Marcel Vigneron and Hung Huynh, are actually pretty good buddies. You didn’t know that, did you? Well, neither did we. But the proof of it is that Hung, who is currently doing a guest stint at Solo restaurant, has invited Marcel, he of the pointy hair and molecular gastronomy, to work with him on his dinner at Food and Wine’s Best New Chefs event on April 3. We had some sport with Marcel in the past, but there’s no question that he has a lot of talent and will one day be a force in his own right. (He has just left his previous job at Company American Bistro at the Luxor.) Marcel will be in the kitchen with Hung on the days leading up to the event, so if you want to meet him in the flesh, stop in to Solo on the April 1 or 2.
