Chef Daniel Humm and business partner Will Guidara are best known for their work at the Michelin-starred restaurants The NoMad and Eleven Madison Park, which was named the best restaurant in the world earlier this month.
But now the team is planning to bring their award-winning food to the masses with a brand-new fast-casual concept called Made Nice.
"At Made Nice our goal is to serve guests delicious, composed dishes, that are affordable and quick – using the recipes, skills, and techniques we've perfected at Eleven Madison Park and The NoMad," Humm told Business Insider by email.
"This is the most casual restaurant we've opened, but we still want it to be delicious, to have gracious hospitality, and to embody all the values we employ at Eleven Madison Park and NoMad."
At Eleven Madison Park, a several-hours-long tasting menu costs $295 a person, but at Made Nice, guests can get a salad for between $11 and $15.
Made Nice opens for lunch Monday in the NoMad neighborhood of Manhattan, but Business Insider got a sneak peek at the dishes that diners can look forward to.
The dishes have the same artistry you would expect from a meal at the team's high-end restaurants.
The vibe, however, is altogether more welcoming and informal.
"We like to think of Eleven Madison Park as the type of restaurant you go to once a year, or to celebrate special occasions, NoMad as the restaurant you visit once a month for a fun night out, and we hope that Made Nice becomes a place where you can visit multiple times a week," Humm said.
