Daniel Humm is not the person you would expect to be making pastel paintings of tofu and radishes. He has a stressful job as the head chef and owner of Eleven Madison Park, New York, named the best restaurant in the world in 2017, which has become even more stressful in the past few years. In 2019, Humm bought out his long-time business partner, the restaurateur Will Guidara, with whom he had turned Eleven Madison Park into a fine-dining dream world: the kind of place where you might mention, over your two-week-air-dried duck, that your child had never seen snow, and a limo with sledges would be waiting outside to take you to Central Park.
