"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
"In case you missed it, David Chase recently revealed what happened in the final scene of the Sopranos. Tony choked on chicken parm—his last words were “poor you.” Just kidding. We won’t spoil it, but if you attend Fulgurances first Kitchen Party event this Monday, Dec. 13th, expect a heated debate all night. The Sopranos-themed night will feature a five-course, family-style Sunday gravy meal, and, most likely, someone saying “gabagool” in Tony’s accent every five minutes. (It’s just too fun to say.)" - neha talreja
"Run by an owner who has tracked pandemic-driven shifts in dining habits, this restaurant adapted from later, tourist-heavy seatings to earlier service times: early slots that once struggled to fill are now in demand, with most reservations concentrated between about 7:00 and 8:30 p.m. The team also adopted digital point-of-sale tipping options to make leaving a tip easier for customers and to increase staff tips." - Catherine Down
"Fulgurances in Greenpoint hosted a recent pop-up where Nico Bouter cooked." - Emma Orlow
"A Parisian hit has come to Brooklyn and built out a space in a former laundromat, Fulgurances hosts guest chefs for events that feel like a fancy dinner party. Currently, it’s former chef de cuisine at Claud, Nicholas Tamburo. Six courses is $89, with an optional $65 wine pairing." - Eater Staff
