  • Tina Vaughn of Eulalie, a 3-star NY Times Restaurant and Jewel Box of Hospitality
    Feb 7 2024

    Send us a text

    Tina Vaughn and her Chef/Partner/Husband Chip Smith received a 3-star NY times review in January of 2024 for their restaurant Eulalie, a jewel-box of hospitality in Tribeca.

    In this episode, Tina recounts her journey from Rockette to restaurants, the mission of hospitality and how to pair wine fearlessly from a place of learning and gastronomy.

    If a restaurant with only a phone number for reservations (no reservation system like Resy or Open table) that leads to a notoriously long voice-message and presents hand-written menus with food from a chef that cooked with Jean-Louis Palladin in a dining room where wine is poured fearlessly AND you can actually talk without shouting is what you crave (and why wouldn't you?), then Eulalie is a place for you.

    This is the second 3 star NY times review for this talented couple. Their first was for The Simone, which opened in 2013 and closed in 2022 after the pandemic.

    We shared two wines, and they were fan-tastic:

    • Manuel Aragón Fino Granero sherry
    • El Maestro Sierra Amontillado Anticuario Sherry

    Find them anywhere that shares the porrón.

    "I dwelt alone. In a world of moan, And my soul was a stagnant tide. Till the fair and gentle Eulalie became my blushing bride." Edgar Allen Poe.
