Food and drink highlights of 2011
The top food and drink news and reviews of 2011, from Heston Blumenthal's first London outpost and Gordon Ramsay's family scandal, to restaurant trends and the closing of El Bulli.
Historic food was terribly up-to-date in 2011, with the opening of Dinner, Heston Blumenthal’s first London outpost, serving dishes inspired by fourteenth to twentieth century recipes. Shortly afterwards came the similarly themed Gilbert Scott in the reopened St Pancras Hotel, now part of the Marriot group.

Es kommt aufs Aroma an
Dieses lang erwartete Buch des französischen Drei Sterne-Kochs
Jean-Georges Klein vom Restaurant „L’Arnsbourg“ in Baerenthal/Lothringen
gibt es tatsächlich auch in deutscher Übersetzung – obwohl das
anscheinend selbst im Handel kaum bekannt ist. Die deutsche Ausgabe hat
gegenüber dem französischen Original nur eine kleine Abweichung:
Zusätzlich zum Vorwort von Ferran Adrià gibt es eines von Harald
Wohlfahrt, der die Küche dieses individuellen Modernisten sehr gut
kennt.

Lyon's Hot New Dining Spot
In Lyon, France's second city but culinary capital, diners are spoiled for choice — yet they flock to Rue Le Bec. One of Lyon's hottest dining destinations, it's located in the newly fashionable Confluence district, a former industrial area in the heart of Lyon where the Rhône and Saône rivers converge.
The clientele go not only for the cuisine but also for the boldness of
chef Nicolas Le Bec's concept. A 39-year-old Breton, and something of a
local hero for his two-Michelin-star restaurant on rue Grolée, Le Bec
has developed a vast 2,000-sq-m space on two floors. Once a factory, it
is now a cross between a restaurant and a covered market, with alfresco
dining in the garden and a large terrace on the Saône River.

Bermondsey Bites: Hip New Eat Streets Emerge in London
Who would have thought that a cluster of railway arches in Bermondsey — a backwater close to London Bridge — would become the weekend destination of choice for the British capital's most discerning foodies?
Monmouth Coffee Company and cheese specialists Neal's Yard Dairy started out by opening their Maltby Street warehouses to committed shoppers on Saturday mornings. Now they've been joined by several other gourmet retailers and purveyors of food-to-go like St. John Bread & Wine (whose custard doughnuts always sell out early) and Kitty Traver's Piaggio ice cream van (don't miss her apple-basil flavor).

The New New Coke? Coca-Cola Ditches White Cans After One Month
Those cuddly polar bears are a staple of Coca-Cola’s ad campaigns
around the holidays. And this year, the world’s largest cola producer decided to pay homage
to the threatened species. For the first time in 125 years, the iconic
red can went white. The campaign, launched in late October, was supposed
to run for four months, through the end of February. But the people
have spoken, and the white cans’ run has been halted way ahead of
schedule.
You’d think after their past failures, Coca-Cola would be hesitant to
mess with its image. But the plight of the polar bears convinced Coke
to switch it up, with the company pledging up to $3 million to the World
Wildlife Fund for conservation efforts. The message is, without a
doubt, an admirable one — but it might not have been a clear one.
