"FEENIE WHO?"

David and Manjy Sidoo, the owners of Lumiere and Feenie's, have just announced a partnership with Daniel Boulud. The details of which will be made known to the media at a press event scheduled for next Friday.

We suppose this confirms rumours we have been hearing from our media friends in New York that Boulud is to take a large position in Feenie's, possibly even changing the restaurant's name to that of his own casual dining restaurant in New York, DB Bistro Moderne.

Well, it should be interesting.

ADDED: Why wait for Friday? The following is a brief written for Saturday's Globe and Mail by Alexandra Gill. Look for Gill's longer article to appear in the newspaper on Monday, March 10, 2008.

French-born Star Chef to Replace Feenie

Vancouver -- Daniel Boulud, one of the world's top chefs, is coming to Vancouver. The French-born chef is going into business with Manjy and David Sidoo, the owners of Lumiere and Feenie's restaurants. Mr. Boulud will be the executive chef and a partner at Lumiere, replacing Rob Feenie, who left last November. After briefly closing for renovations at the end of this month, Feenie's will reopen as dB Bistro Moderne Vancouver. Mr. Boulud is the chef/owner of six award-winning restaurants in the United States, but is best known for Daniel, his fine-dining restaurant in New York.

Here is some background on the famous New York chef and restaurateur from the Sidoo press release.

Daniel Boulud, best known as the chef-owner of New York City’s DANIEL, has six award winning restaurants that make up The Dinex Group. While he hails from Lyon, it is in New York that he has truly mastered the culinary scene. Boulud’s style is marked for his unique use of time honored French technique applied to the finest seasonal American ingredients. His artistry extends to his New York City restaurants CAFE BOULUD, DB Bistro Moderne and Bar Boulud. In addition, he has created Café Boulud in Palm Beach and Daniel Boulud Brasserie at the Wynn Las Vegas Resort.

Boulud’s culinary accolades include the James Beard Foundation awards for “Outstanding Restaurateur” “Best Chef of New York City” and “Outstanding Chef of the Year”. His restaurant, DANIEL, has been named “one of the ten best restaurants in the world” by the International Herald Tribune, received Gourmet Magazine’s “Top Table” award, a coveted four star rating form The New York Times as well as Wine Spectator’s “Grand Award” and New York City’s top ratings for cuisine, service and decor in the Zagat Survey. In 2006 Boulud was made a Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur by the French government.

Daniel Boulud’s most recent endeavors include the “After Hours with Daniel” series on MOJO HD and the book, “Braise. A Journey through International Cuisine”, a James Beard Foundation cookbook award nominee.

MJ was a frequenter of many of the fine hotels in the Kiwi Collection. And, well, he wasn’t always the easiest guest. Here are some of Michael Jackson’s most memorable hotel moments. Michael Jackson Unleashes his Inner Child at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower: 2007 Are we really surprised to learn that Michael Jackson demanded that a children’s xylophone, sweets and gigantic 6 foot by 6 foot mirror be brought up to his room while he was checking in to the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel in London? It was rumored at the time that he was in London in 2007 to sell his rights to his catalogue of Beatles Songs after running up huge debts which were believed to total an unthinkable £180 million! Maybe he needed to relieve some stress? Even though he spent his time playing with a child’s toy and satisfying his s
