Eleven Madison Park in New York City is reintroducing meat to its menu for the first time in four years. This change follows chef Daniel Humm's decision to eliminate all animal products, which was influenced by his environmental awakening during the pandemic's closure. Humm realized that returning to 'business as usual' was not an option, acknowledging the significant environmental cost of meat and dairy compared to plant-based alternatives in terms of land, water, and emissions.
For Eleven Madison Park, turning away from business as usual meant minding the planet's resources-which meant no more animal products. Compared to plant-based foods, meat and dairy require more land, use more water, and produce more emissions.
Humm had something of an environmental awakening during Eleven Madison Park's pandemic closure. He realized, he said at the time, that he couldn't go back to business as usual.
