Under the leadership of Executive Chef Thomas Allan, The Modern is a distinguished 4-star entry on Forbes All-Star Eateries List. Nestled inside MoMA (The Museum of Modern Art) in New York City, this culinary powerhouse has maintained two Michelin stars since 2016, holding that prestigious honor for nine consecutive years. Set beside MoMA’s sculpture garden, The Modern “serves meals as pleasing to the palate as they are to the eye.”
Much like the intense, high-stakes kitchens famously depicted in shows like “The Bear,” The Modern operates with an unwavering, almost relentless, commitment to excellence. This drive stems from a deep understanding that compromise may quickly snowball to mediocrity. Such dedication has firmly established The Modern’s reputation as an exceptional “culinary temple,” where the menu “brilliantly combines the artful and the sophisticated.”
A highlight of The Modern’s culinary artistry is its signature dish, “Eggs On Eggs On Eggs,” a multi-layered creation that promises a symphony of textures and flavors. Served in an egg-shaped vessel, the dish features an emulsion of fried eggs, exquisitely topped with dill-infused olive oil, a perfectly runny poached egg yolk, and a generous spoonful of caviar. Every bite is meticulously balanced by pickled shallots and fresh dill. The nuanced fare is “more than a match for the masterpieces at the MoMA,” with a prix-fixe tasting menu that delivers “perfectly sized portions that keep guests wanting more.”
