A Big Gourmand is a restaurant known for good quality and good value where three courses are offered at a price of $49 or less. Michelin has bestowed the honor on 18 new NYC restaurants this year. They include Antoya known for its Korean BBQ in KTown; Chick Chick with its piping-hot fried chicken on the Upper West Side; Dhamaka drawing a crowd for its unapologetic Indian cuisine; Dumpling Lab in the East Village with its interesting collection of dumplings and drinks; Sobre Masa in Bushwick where house-made tortillas take center stage; and Rolo’s of Ridgewood where the emphasis is on wood-fired foods.
