On Thursday, June 10 we opened our doors for the first time since the pandemic closed them.
Featuring: Chef Daniel Humm / Video by: Made by FARE

[@wiltongorske]

The vegan menu was already incredible at EMP. I can't imagine how much it's improved now. 🔥

[@AutoChad]

Thank you so much for considering the animals and the environment. I can't wait to visit. Now if I could only get a reservation.

[@Akshie1979]

Can't Wait to try it. So proud of the EMP team for going plant based! Three cheers!

[@gfogelman]

Cheers Chef! Looks amazing and we cannot wait to dine with you. Thank you!!!

[@LeesaYim]

Some of my favorite dishes at EMP were vegetable dishes.

[@lucabenedetti_gtr]

Bravo Chef Humm! May many others follow your lead. Can't wait to try it! See you in July

[@lutherbobs]

I’ve been following EMP since 2012 and I knew they were going to be the best restaurant in the world. Here they are again, redefining the future of luxury foods.

[@pedrValente]

What a Legend

[@andrewbutler8951]

Inseparable artistry indeed. This man is way ahead of his time indefinitely.

[@EdwardNguyenMusic]

Such An amazing evolution. Knowing that sometimes art is to take apart. To do less because the strokes of genius are masterful. I would dream to dine here some day

[@blackcatplaypompeii529]

Magnificent!

[@RataStuey]

He’s a brilliant brilliant chef. And what he’s doing is the future.

[@AJBOFWA]

So excited for this!

[@61thecat]

So proud you are doing this Daniel Humm! I’m looking forward to try this in October lots of love from Switzerland

[@andrewbutler8951]

I truly love and have such appreciation for the country of Switzerland.

[@pistorin]

I can't wait to go back to EMP!

[@SeeMeFlee]

Amazing!! Was always a fan of you guys before I was vegan definitely more in love with your restaurant now!!

[@MrBluesilverred]

Bravo Chef Humm for thinking forward. I think there are too many places that are trying to reinvent old recipes over and over.

[@matthewcrocker7261]

Going on 4/22! Can't wait :)

[@jorndeboer6608]

How was it?

[@tshegofatsomariba5546]

My dream job as a culinary student is to work at EMP one day🥺♥️. Love you guys!!

[@Studio93013]

As a dedicated vegan, I'm 100% behind the plant-based restaurant concept. But, I'd be very hesitant to pay big $$$ for a meal that's so small it has to be plated with tweezers!

[@Humanprototype-wh8qr]

I feel ya Altough i hesitate from idea of vegan. I love eating just veggies which i do like six times a week or two weeks But at some point i need some fish or little meat And it is not the slightest problem

[@theresacottone]

💚

[@tryzerowaste]

Bravo!!

[@adamrasmussen7379]

The "old menu" was outstanding and worth every penny. The new vegan menu is very good, but is not worth the price of admission. Best of luck to Madison future I hope it continues to thrive. Had better veg tasting menus at the $110 price point.

[@jordancalanchini3496]

I agree, imho no way I would pay that much for just veggies

[@hippiehens102]

Youve missed the point Completely. I really appreciate these chefs dedication toward the future of food for us all. We can All make a veg dish...but to make them Shine as these chefs do is an Absolute Art. Healthy, not raping the land or oceeans is even More Beautiful. Great job Eleven 💯❤️

[@tomkowalski7267]

awesome! Plant based is the now and the future. It just shows you dont need meat and dairy to conjure a fantastic meal/experience.

[@emilydpagan-rosado3733]

This is amazing 🤍💚

who's the male cook at 3:34 lol

[@baldsportsfan9368]

You can get a good upside-down Sicilian pie from Rosa's Pizza in Queens for less than 30 bux

[@JayTee-mh4gz]

I enjoyed my dining experience there. I had hoped to return but I am not returning for plant based only. Best of luck.

[@JNJ1014]

😂😂😂 I can't imagine how much he laughed when he realized dumb rich people would gladly pay $250+/person for the privilege of consuming a total of 250 calories during a 3 hour performance.

[@vespasian1695]

Word on the street is, this restaurant sucks and most likely gets their Michelin stars by paying the company.

[@pete6705]

That’s such a shame. I wish I could have visited their restaurant before they ruined it

[@kisses-a4045]

They should introduce zero waste restaurant to really start getting others to follow if they want to make a big change in the industry

[@edriley2703]

No more duck? 😢

[@FreddyFermin]

This guy got exposed workers discrimination 👎🏽

[@10017nyc]

I admire the sentiment, but if the goal is to get more people to go plant-based, shouldn't you be lowering prices? A plant-based meal that's priced over $300 isn't really going to win new converts.

[@christienyc]

I disagree, I can imagine the amount of work it will take to elevate what we see or taste as "just" a basic vegetable... dining at EMP is also an experience, the cost wasn't to pay for animal proteins. I'm excited to taste what chef has come up with!

[@JT-zy2ft]

@@christienyc I would disagree. When you pay the money for an A5 wagyu steak your paying for all the work that went into caring for the cow. With vegetables it’s just not the same. A vegetable based menu is cheaper then a protein based one. I love Madison as I proposed to my wife there but not a fan of this move. Completely screws over the hard working dairy farmers and fishermen who do things responsibility.

[@thevegandigest]

Worth every penny and a necessary point on the marketplace spectrum!

[@emilysantana2750]

You’re probably not the demographic then and that’s okay ! An incredibly talented and creative team and a phenomenal restaurant. Not to mention you’re paying for the staff that maintains this experience. Multiple waiters to a table, dish washers, prep cooks, THE BEST CHEFS IN THE INDUSTRY. When you dine at this level you aren’t ‘just’ paying for food.

[@10017nyc]

​@@emilysantana2750 You're probably not the demographic either since you're unaware of how the restaurant is floundering and how this move is perceived industry wide as a failure.

[@mrs.purrfectpearl]

Now this is stupid! Vegan lol ain’t no way.

[@skrag1054]

Ate at EMP once. It was so bad, we never thought to back. The food was creative in a bad way. For one of the courses, we were served meat lollipops- so gross. Now that they don't serve meat, it will only be worse.

[@Stephen981cs]

This is going to flop

[@captainaxlerod1297]

Touching your mask while making good like at that last part is super unhygienic.

[@markmyers9447]

Love you guys, but being honest its a terrible idea.

[@dores.3873]

Definitely agree

[@JT-zy2ft]

Same here. Going all plant based and still charging $350 plus a person is crazy. Also screws over the fisherman and dairy farmers who do things responsibly. Proposed to my wife there so will be going back in 2 years for our 5th anniversary. Will see if it’s still vegan then.

[@VonFisch1]

You're right, for example, Wagyu beef and Dover sole are not acquired easily. The value of the food always played a role in addition to the artistry. May be great produce, but this will be pure artistry, which is interesting to try once in itself. It may be more "sustainable" but perhaps not sustainable enough to stay in business. I agree, give it time and at one point, a couple will say, we tried it once, let's go to ( ) instead for better value for the money. Some might still go for the "cause" or their diets but I'd also be comparing this with other vegan tasting menus.

[@whitewolfthedeity1131]

Enjoy spending over $300 just to eat grass😂.

[@bernardocaron8994]

I am disappointed on the new direction. I really enjoyed how it was before.

[@ecuadorjusto]

Bad food

[@DogKata]

While the chef should be congratulated for his creativity to work with plant items only it should be kept in mind that a vegan diet will not be healthy for everyone. The late Dr Gonzalez did blood typing and customized diets. He determined the four blood types determine the most suitable diet for an individuals, meaning some do better on meat and fish and others on dairy and others on vegetables, etc.

[@VonFisch1]

Yes, and children shouldn't be on it either. I remember one mom's small kids were on vegetarian/vegan diets and they looked so pale. Yeah, you can cheat by supplements, not ideal.

[@doddsalfa]

Blood typing is total nonsense

[@lasoul680]

@@VonFisch1 the lies

[@briangranados1456]

The food truck is cute, and the vegan transition is trendy, but I will NEVER visit EMT again....It used to be my favorite restaurant, tragic. Enjoy your new clientele of agreeable hippies

[@bankofwerner4206]

i am not vegan by any means but go ahead and be stuck in the past

[@theimpaler98]

Lol they don't care about you
