Joe Beef

Owned by a friend and strongly recommended.

We went to lots of fancy, fancy places, including Joe Beef, which

was fucking Joe Beef.

So if you know anything about Joe Beef and a lot of Bourdain fans know Joe Beef because I think Tony had a fondness for the folks there.

You know Joe Beef.

It was fucking Joe Beef.

And you go and it is big and extra and great and a very – like indulge it isn't the right word.

It is a big experience.

C'est une raconteuse d'histoire.

Je connais Vania depuis Joe Beef, Liverpool House, Vin Papillon.

Je l'ai interviewée pour Vine Roots, mais écouter Vania parler du vin.

Je trouve que tant Vania que Michèle, c'est des femmes qui sont dans le vin depuis longtemps, à une époque où il y avait beaucoup moins de femmes dans le vin.

And there's a great moment in the Quebec episode that kind of shows the limits of his lack of class analysis, where he's hanging out with the chefs from this restaurant

called Joe Beef in Montreal.

They're in an ice fishing shack,

and they're eating lièvre à la royale.

It's like, cool, that's a dope ass sentiment, right? We're all humans, we all eat, and you can have these incredible experiences in the culinary world without having wealth and power like that.

There's this universalizing, humanizing element to eating food that cuts past class in Bourdain's mind.

And Also, this meal was prepared by the chefs of Joe Beef.

That ain't exactly a cheap spot.
