"Fulgurances is a French restaurant concept with three locations—plus a magazine—in Paris. The first American outpost is in a former laundromat space on Franklin Street. It functions like an artist’s residency for chefs, inviting one at a time to serve a seasonal tasting menu of their own design. Dinner is $94, plus wine options, but if you’re interested in experiencing a chef incubator, make a reservation for an intimate, special-occasion meal." - bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick
