You don't have to spend big bucks to experience dishes by many big name chefs these days. Around the world, many chefs are branching out from their white tablecloth digs with more casual places. How does a gourmet sandwich sound?
It's tough to score a table at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill, but at Bobby's Burger Palace you're guaranteed a seat — and to receive your burger, fries and shake within just a few minutes of sitting down. Sure it verges on fast food, but when it's this good, that's not necessarily a bad thing. There's a location (one of just four) a few minutes from the Sheraton Eatontown in New Jersey.
Reservations at Donald Link's Herbsaint and Cochon are hard to come by 'round Mardi Gras, but just around the corner at Butcher, you can order up a tasty muffaletta filled with house-made meats, some sides and a bottle of wine to either eat there or take back to the Sheraton New Orleans a couple blocks away.
The trend even pops up in Paris, where chef Guy Martin of the two-Michelin-starred Le Grand Véfour has opened a sandwich shop, Miyou, in the 8ème arrondissement of Paris as well as in Charles De Gaulle Airport Terminal 2. The airport location is just beyond security from the Sheraton Paris Airport Hotel & Conference Centre, which means you can grab a gourmet lunch on your way from hotel to flight.
