We Cooked Eleven Madison Park’s $475 Meal Kit. Here’s How It Went

Earlier this fall, when almost all of New York City’s three-Michelin star restaurants reopened for indoor dining, Eleven Madison Park stayed closed. Instead, the 2017 Best Restaurant in the World began selling meal kits. Now that the city’s dining rooms are once again shut, EMP at Home kits are so popular, there’s a waitlist.

The current kit’s centerpiece is the famed honey lavender roasted duck, which has appeared on the restaurant’s menu in one form or another since 2006. So popular was the dish that a big part of the restaurant’s last renovation was to install glass-doored fridges in the middle of the kitchen to put the ducks on display.
