CHEF MICHAEL MINA TOASTED the grand
opening of his latest fine-dining establishment at
Aria, Bardot Brasserie, with a live jazz band,
caricaturists, mimes, and a coterie of beret-
sporting models. Bringing together some of the
city's most prominent chefs, the evening offered
guests the opportunity to sample a few of Mina's
elevated takes on French brasserie favorites,
including escargots with warm hazelnuts and
croque madames.
