An exercise enthusiast and a former Pilates instructor in New Jersey, Nanci Perle Kushner holds a bachelor’s degree from Syracuse University and a master’s degree from Fordham University. A self-proclaimed foodie and an avid traveler, Nanci Kushner has been throughout Europe and loves trying trendy restaurants around the world.
Named as one of the top trendy restaurants of 2017, The Fat Duck is located in a nondescript cottage in Berkshire, England, and was established in 1995 by celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal. It was originally created as a French bistro, but Blumenthal’s penchant for experimenting with flavor combinations and multi-sensory cooking helped the restaurant earn three Michelin stars.
Believing that food should be an experience, Blumenthal presents his menu as an “itinerary.” Each guest takes a nostalgic journey throughout the day that covers morning, mid-morning, afternoon, evening, and night. Together with his team, Blumenthal creates dishes that range from basic to elaborate to invoke a sense of curiosity and nostalgia.
Individuals can participate in this experience by making a reservation for two, three, four, or six guests. The Fat Duck allows guests to make reservations within a four-month booking period, during which time they can choose to dine at the restaurant anywhere from noon local time to just after 8 p.m. Reservations are only available when visitors also purchase and pay for a ticket to enjoy the experience prepared by Blumenthal and his team.
