原文

New York's Eleven Madison Park became the first vegan restaurant to receive three Michelin stars, the highest rating a restaurant can achieve. The award, in the 2024 Michelin guide, was a major milestone for plant-based dining.
Eleven Madison Park was founded in 1998 and became one of the world's most celebrated restaurants, earning three Michelin stars in 2017 for its lavish tasting menus featuring high-end ingredients like lobster and duck. In 2021, chef Daniel Humm made the dramatic decision to remove all animal products from the menu, a move that shocked the fine dining world.
Humm said he wanted to help build a more sustainable food system. He believed the current food system, with its heavy reliance on animal agriculture, was not sustainable. "We knew this was going to be the hardest thing we've ever done," Humm said. "But even if we fail, it was worth trying."
The restaurant lost its three-star rating following the switch to a fully plant-based menu. Michelin's 2022 New York guide awarded Eleven Madison Park only one star but praised the restaurant's "bold and forward-thinking vision" for the future of fine dining.
However, the restaurant persisted, and the gamble paid off. In 2024, Michelin restored all three stars, making Eleven Madison Park the first vegan restaurant in the world to achieve this distinction. Gwendal Poullennec, the international director of the Michelin Guides, said the award was "a recognition of the increasing importance of plant-based cuisine in the fine dining world."
