Things can change in an instant, as David discovered in July of 2014, when he got a fateful call that his restaurant Manresa which he owned and operated since 2002, and has held two Michelin stars for nine consecutive years, had burned nearly to the ground. Since then, the fire has become a marker of his personal and professional life and in the ensuing six months, mourning was followed by a drive to bring the restaurant to a new level of success, and time was spent experimenting with, ruminating on, and developing new dishes. In this episode, “Post-Fire David” looks back at “Pre-Fire David,” and cooks several dishes that came out of that time, including the new incarnation of the restaurant’s signature dish - Into the Vegetable Garden.
