Maybe Salts will bring back its excellent veal pot-au-feu this fall or winter. I recall having that there when they first opened some years back. I normally prefer a beef rendition with a big chunk of marrow-filled bone in it, but Salts' version, like most of their food, was pretty wicked.

There's a restaurant called Pot au Feu in Providence, RI, a Petit Robert-ish traditional French place that has been around forever and (predictably) does a very fine version of this dish, with both beef and chicken.

I had the pot-au-feu at petit robert a few weeks ago and it was very tasty.

Petit Robert has a beef short ribs pot-au-feu on their menu.

Brasserie Jo does a chicken pot-au-feu as a special on Sunday nights.

Full disclosure: I haven't tried either of these dishes. Perhaps other hounds have first-hand experience?
