#81 - Chef Paul Denamiel

 The Food Court – Chef Paul & the “Barcilona” Mystery

In this episode of The Food Court, Chef Paul Denamiel takes us on a hilarious and mouthwatering ride — from the origins of why we jokingly say “Barcilona” like Vince Vaughn
, to the stories behind his legendary Manhattan restaurant, Le Rivage 
.

Since 1984, Le Rivage has been a cozy, romantic French country escape in the heart of the Theater District — serving everything from  frogs’ legs and  coq au vin to the famous  French Onion Soup Burger. A favorite of locals, tourists, and Broadway stars alike 
, it’s the perfect pre- or post-show date night spot  — now bringing back live music  for that perfect Parisian vibe.

We also talk about Chef Paul’s upcoming appearance at the NYC Wine & Food Festival Burger Bash  — where he’s gunning to reclaim his crown
. If you’re going, make sure to vote for Chef Paul… Viva la France!
