The consistency of Knogl’s cooking, not just in terms of technical execution, but also in terms of putting together well-composed and balanced meals, was something that especially struck me. Every tasting menu, even at the top restaurants, has at least one perplexing taste combination or fall in quality during the course of the meal – an overpowering spice here, a wholly forgettable dish there. At Cheval Blanc, there were no such concerns, with each meal being of three-star quality, with tastes that were both memorable and precise. Perhaps the price of this constancy is fewer creative flavor combinations, but if the familiar tastes this excellent, it is a price I am willing to pay for comfort food in any form.
