The Inside Track
The Guys have had the great pleasure of eating at Eleven Madison Park and are thrilled to chat with Daniel Humm. Their restaurants have some differences, but Daniel sums up the similarities like this.
“You can have great food, great wine, but in the end, we are in the people business. You need to have great people. The people need to be happy and that's it,” Daniel Humm on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2011
Bio
Daniel Humm was born in Switzerland in 1979. In 2003, he moved to the United States to become the executive chef at Campton Place in San Francisco. Three years later, he moved to New York to become the executive chef at Eleven Madison Park, and in 2011 he and his business partner Will Guidara purchased the restaurant from Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group. The following year also opened the critically acclaimed NoMad New York. In 2018 Humm and Guidara opened NoMad Los Angeles. Humm opened Davies and Brook, his first restaurant outside the US at London's historic Claridge's.
In 2021, he reopened Eleven Madison Park with a completely plant-based menu. Eleven Madison Park became the first and only plant-based restaurant in Michelin Guide history to receive a three-star rating in October 2022. The restaurant again received a three-Michelin-star rating in 2023.
In the fall of 2024, Daniel opened Clemente Bar, a bar and dining hotspot, on the second story of Eleven Madison Park.
