Hate to tell you, but NYC kitchens use butter and a ton of it (and pretty much every other kitchen in North America). They probably use olive oil (a wonderful thing) in addition to butter, but if you think they're not using butter I've got a bridge to sell you.
Culinary history shows us that France, China, and Italy influence pretty much anything you're eating today (especially France and China).
I'm curious as to what restaurant(s) in Paris that you've based this comparison on. Presumably, you visited several restaurants in both cities with 1, 2, and 3 Michelin Stars.
Sometimes you have to bend the rules and experiment a little to have great food. Most french chefs are traditional and they're not always open to that.

Staring at car registration bill...if I lived in New York City, London, or Paris I could ditch my car... new goal for 2010!
ReplyDeletebecause Paris is not as diverse as New York is.

ReplyDeleteNEW YORK, I LOVE YOU.. Paris, je t'aime.. Berlin, ich liebe dich! <3
ReplyDeleteJust got off the phone with my dad. We talked for an hour and a half about New York, food, cameras, Paris Hilton, and him retiring in a van.
ReplyDeleteParis only has french restaurants. In New York City one can find any nationality of food. Kosher, Cantonese, Kenyan, it is all there.
ReplyDeleteOMG New York is like my dream :D I'm from Paris, in France :D
ReplyDeleteLet's go to sleep in Paris and wake up in Tokyo; Have a dream in New Orleans and fall in love in Nueva York.
