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!
