New York, New York (Episode #10)

New York is a world leader in more than just high finance, it also sets the standard in innovative fine dining. Taste of Life takes viewers to the legendary Rainbow Room restaurant. There, the Executive Pastry Chef prepares their signature dessert, Baked Alaska Flambé. Later we venture into the Catskill mountains were we find that the making of foie gras is as much an art as it is a multi-million dollar industry at the Hudson Valley Foie Gras farm. Finally one of the world greatest chefs, Waldie Malouf, will demonstrate his favorite way to prepare the decadent foie gras.

Rainbow Room

The Rockefeller Center is home to Taste of Life's fine dining choice, The Rainbow Room. Glamorous and sophisticated, this restaurant is considered the crowning jewel of the Center. Suspended among the starts and clouds, The Rainbow Room floats 65 stories above the heart of the midtown Manhattan. When the light creeps into The Rainbow Room at night, you can believe in magic - the magic of music, the magic of unlimited possibilities and the magic of Big Apple. The menu is a mix of continental classic and contemporary dishes spanning the decades from the 1930's to the 1990's. The service, like the menu is contemporary, theatrical and traditional. Taste of Life's chef specialty dish at the Rainbow Room is the legendary Baked Alaskan Flamb¸, prepared by Executive Pastry Chef Kurt Walrath.
