Thomas Keller is somewhere laughing his arse off.
For reference his Poulet Roti at Bouchon is about $40.
No one went to the Frenchy Laundry for the chicken. They went to have Thomas Keller make them chicken....and the 12 amuse bouches that just magically appear throughout the meal.
No one gives a shite about Enrique's roast chicken.

I would bet roughly 30% of the covers at any of the Bouchon restaurants are roast chicken, and nobody expects TK to be in the back of house.

Never been to Bouchon. Have been to the French Laundry a few times when Keller was Chef De Cuisine there and it was amazing. When we left the first time I saw him suking down a lung dart on one of the outbuilding porches. At that time, I was touring Culinary schools and went out to CIA Greystone. Bad car wreck and a broken back ended that dream a few months later.
If you're ever in Northern California, go by yourself to the Laundry. You will be immediately seated and they will give you so much free shite. I guess their reasoning is: You came to the French Laundry...alone. You are not trying to impress anyone. Let us impress you.

Thanks, Trump.
You sure that is all Trump.
I see a lot of those eateries listed are in the swank enclaves of the New York City area and one place that was in probably an upscale restaurant in South Carolina.
A business in NYC that is not a chain probably has double or triple the overhead due to higher rents, higher minimum wage rates, taxes, regulations, higher extermination costs, and insurance costs. Plus no telling who else’s palms need greasing to stop your windows from getting broken or a random “building inspection” that shuts the place down.
I call BS that this is entirely Trump’s fault.

But, pasture raised artisinal chicken. Bruh, I can go in any restaurant in America and find the same Tyson and Cisco boxes in the walk in. And pasture raised or free ranges means they had pasture "access" for maybe 30 days of their short life spent in a saw dust warehouse.
I know exactly what it means and there is a difference in buying what is market as “pasture raised” from a broad liner and what any of these places mentioned are getting from farms in the Hudson valley. The game is different in higher end NYC hospitality from what you’re apparently used to where everyone is high or drunk every shift.
