Some five years ago, the luxury cruise line Silversea decided to upend its dining and drinks offerings, figuratively of course, with something unlike anything else at sea. And thus was born their successful S.A.L.T. culinary and cocktail experiment that continues to evolve with each new ship iteration and which complements the already wide range of dining options on their ships.
If you’re even remotely interested in quality cuisine, you’re well aware of Daniel Boulud. The chef has amassed a whopping 11 James Beard awards during his legendary career. He currently holds four Michelin stars. But far less familiar to these same gourmands is the name Sebastien Silvestri. As CEO of The Dinex Group (founded by Boulud back in 1992), he is instrumental in the day-to-day operation of a restaurant empire that now includes 18 venues—including nine in New York, alone.
