Heavy Metal: Boulud Goes OTT Industrial

Eater has just released photos of the new Daniel Boulud restaurant DBGB Kitchen & Bar, to open on the Bowery in two weeks time. Apparently the place is “meant to evoke the restaurant supply stores that are fast going extinct on the Bowery,” but it looks like an army barracks. Even after construction is finished, the walls will consist of industrial metal shelving – which will eventually hold copper pots donated by famous chefs around the world. (Because more metal will add to the warm and fuzzy atmosphere?)

I was hoping mess hall decor would stop at Hill Country, but now it’s trickling up to a Daniel Boulud spot? Make it stop! Also, it seems kind of ironical that one of the wealthy new Bowery tenants pushing out the old restaurant supply stores is paying homage to the dying culture of restaurant supply stores.

Let’s hope the DB sausage and beer makes up for it all?
