Conde Nast Traveler – Shanghai Feature – Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Street Food

June 22nd, 2010

The July 2010 issue of Conde Nast Traveler has just hit newstands and you can see my ugly mug staring out at you from page 10 of the profiles at the beginning of the magazine. I shot a small feature for them that focused on Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s favourite street-food in Shanghai.

Now you ask, why does Jean-Georges have favourite street food vendors in Shanghai?!

Well, it is because he also has a flagship restaurant, Jean-Georges, located in the 3 on the Bund complex in Shanghai itself. Headlined for many years by Executive Chef Eric Johnson, it is now helmed by the very talented, and always relaxed, Ming Kin Lam.

If in Shanghai go and have a bite (or three). And don’t bother ordering anything off the menu – just have Kin put together an incredible tasting menu for you. Delicious.

Oh, and the street food?

Head to Sipailou Lu, near Yu Gardens and have a delicious pancake. Yum.

Now go pick up a copy at the newstand, or you can also check it out here: rowat_cnus_201007_eat-the-street
