Can we call it a day with the upscale-rustic New American already? Though I had a fantastic meal at Allen & Delancey last night, it's the exception to the rule. After a while, all the parsnips and lamb chops start to make me feel like I've been stranded in a haughtier version of "Green Acres." Fortunately, some New York chefs are continuing to push the envelope. Make fun of Marcel from "Top Chef" all you want, but the molecular gastronomy movement at least tries to nudge along culinary evolution, and when Tailor's Sam Mason scores with dishes like peanut butter infused foie gras, it's quite a thrill. Check out five New York restaurants that defy the tired rustic trend and find out who's serving kimchi linguine.
