New York Magazine: The NoMad Has Best Chicken in Town

Daniel Humm and The NoMad Restaurant's highly-acclaimed roast chicken.

In their 2013 “Best of New York” issue, New York Magazine highlighted a staple of the neighborhood. The NoMad was the winner of the “Best Roast Chicken” category. Here’s what they had to say:

“What distinguishes this justly hyped, inordinately expensive ($79 and counting) roast chicken? The bird comes from the Amish country in Pennsylvania and is delivered fresh every day to the restaurant, where Daniel Humm’s army of chefs trim it—head and all—just the way practiced country cooks do back on the farm. The legendary foie gras stuffing is inserted under the skin before cooking, and the potato purée, which is charged with a shot of carbon dioxide for a little extra zip, adds an almost silly level of flavor and richness.”

It so great to have such renowned chefs in the NoMad neighborhood. From Daniel Humm and Danny Meyer to April Bloomfield and Dani Garcia; NoMad has some of the best culinary talents in NYC. If you’re looking to try a Daniel Humm dish at home, you can always tackle his turkey recipe!
