Chef Daniel Boulud's Beijing restaurant Maison Boulud, housed "in the former American Embassy not far from Tiananmen Square," closed yesterday. Boulud told the Times: "Our partners have other ambitions for the building... Beijing is becoming a very cool place. I've always liked Beijing. I want the setup to be right, the partners to be right." [NYT]
