NYC critic Ryan Sutton of Bloomberg didn't spend all his time in the Bay Area musing about hot dog prices: he also ate at Atelier Crenn, "an exhilarating food lab where guests are rewarded with [a] seamless blend of sweet-savory fare." Dishes like "magnificent" squab and a mushroom dish that's "a Willy Wonka ode to the woods" are among his favorites, as are the "magic" creations of pastry chef Juan Contreras. "You leave invigorated, ready to return. And assured that Dominique Crenn is a vital outlier in the male-dominant world of fine dining." [Bloomberg]
