Serendipity3 celebrates James Beard with the ultimate French style omelette
Stepping into the infamous Serendipity3 brings a delightful combination of whimsy and extravagance. While the iconic Frrrozen Hot Chocolate calls with its satisfying sweet sip, the creative menu items impress the consummate foodie. In honor of the restaurant’s 68 anniversary, the team has brought back the James Beard Fine Herbes Omelette for the special occasion.
Over the years, Serendipity3 brought over the top menu items to the table. Beyond earning the title of “world’s most expensive” with certain dishes, these indulgences are more than just pricey ingredients looking to impress. The flavor combinations add to the exclusive experience. For the food fan, it is a willingness to enjoy the finer things in life.
Within the food world, James Beard has had great influence on food and culture. Long before the awards in his honor, Beard molded the culinary industry. From appreciating finer ingredients to the willingness to explore what food can be, “America’s first foodie” has shaped how many people think and approach food.
To celebrate Serendipity3, the culinary team is offering the “James Beard Fine Herbes Omelette with Urbani Kaluga Caviar and Crème Fraîche” on the menu. This returning favorite is featured at $68. While that cost might be far different than a local diner, the first bite will have everyone appreciating the elevated experience.
According to Chef Joe Calderone, Creative Director of Serendipity3, “As a chef, I personally admire James Beard and all that he has done for the food and culinary industry. He is a legend here at Serendipity3 and our patrons are going to love this omelette tribute in celebration of our 68th anniversary. We are thrilled to bring a version of this omelette back, in support of the James Beard Foundation. We have so many fond memories with the famous foodie rooted in our restaurant’s history.”
As Chef Calderone has shown with his menu choices, the restaurant is willing to find that balance of impeccable, luxurious ingredients with a touch of playfulness. That combination is what many food lovers crave. It is a dish that many people would be unable to recreate at home, but it etches a food memory that lasts forever. A simple aroma, a glance at an ingredient or just a turn of a phrase can bring back that moment of the luscious first bite.
For anyone who would like to experience the “James Beard Fine Herbes Omelette with Urbani Kaluga Caviar and Crème Fraîche,” the menu item is available now through September 18. 10% of the proceeds will be donated to the James Beard Foundation.
