Daniel Humm’s Vegan Menu at Eleven Madison Park Closes Claridges Restaurant | Eater London

"I note that Daniel Humm’s plan to make Davies and Brook at Claridge’s fully plant‑based has been rejected and the restaurant will close in December after a mutual decision to part ways: the hotel said it respects the culinary direction but that it is not the path Claridge’s wishes to follow and posted a statement to Twitter. The planned menu would have seen several of the restaurant’s most popular dishes removed, including the dry‑aged duck with lavender and honey borrowed from NYC and Claridge’s fried chicken. Humm has said that the future for him is plant‑based and expressed sadness at the split, and his first London restaurant — a long‑dreamed project — now looks to be in tatters, lacking the institutional clout Eleven Madison Park enjoys." - James Hansen
