融合世界料理與美景的Asiate餐廳主廚-Garrison Price－良好印象傳媒 Favorable Impression Media @FIMMEDIA

位於紐約文華東方酒店(Mandarin Oriental,New York)的Asiate餐廳曾被FORBES雜誌選為「全世界十大最令人著迷的景觀餐廳」，除了坐擁紐約中央公園無敵的景致外，年輕的美國主廚Garrison Price深受亞洲風味啟發的菜餚，與紐約市中心的美景更完美地融合在一起。(內含HD影音)

Asiate坐落於紐約曼哈頓哥倫布圓環（Columbus Circle）的文華東方酒店35樓，180度環景的落地窗、可以俯瞰中央公園和整個紐約市最美的天際線。33歲的主廚Garrison Price被評為“以巧妙烹飪帶進世界佳餚，並迎合當地口味”而贏得當地媒體的讚賞。譬如帶有亞洲風味的烤鴨、或是歐洲風味的鵝肝，更是完美地平衡了風味，讓當地饕客及遊客們都大為讚賞。

「夏威夷亞熱帶的食材給了我很多的啟發，至今我都很喜歡利用椰子入菜；夏威夷多元化的料理、特別是中式烹調也影響我很深。」當然也促使Price與紐約名廚Jean Georges結下很深的緣分，為了訓練Price，當時旗下在世界各地擁有36間餐廳的他，在兩年內調派他至17間餐廳訓練，其中包括倫敦、杜拜、美國各地

這段近似環遊世界的經歷，讓Garrison Price大開眼見，同時也訓練自己能與不同的廚師合作，加深了自己的彈性。「真正完整我的廚藝經歷的是拉斯維加斯的José Andrés，我雖然只在他的餐廳待一年，很受他啟發，他告訴我每樣食物背後的故事，譬如研究食材從哪來，豐富了我對食物的知識。

一年多前Garrison Price來到紐約MO，他開始能建立屬於自己風格的料理，「我將我過去的經歷融合在一起，你可以說它是美式，但又融合了現代歐洲的烹飪技法，以及很多的亞洲元素在裡頭，我無法歸納它，只能說是很多我個人的風格料理。」
