This is my 3rd instalment of cooking with the artist and Upper Playground. This episode is with vegetarian Sam Flores who was at first reluctant to come, being un sure if I would try to serve him meat. In the end I think he had a nice time, and a simple lunch.

Kudos from Dana Cowin

In october editor and chief  of Food and Wine magazine Dana Cowin came in for dinner, of all the days it was my anniversary.  I am very fortunate to have the best wife in the world who understood that I needed to be at the restaurant. So we canceled our plans to go out and she came to dinner with my son at the bar. Just yesterday we got the February issue of Food and Wine, and in her “Letter from the Editor” Dana shouted her praise’s about her meal. I am very grateful and excited that she enjoyed here experience, but most of all I am lucky that I have such a supportive wife and family. Thank you Tatiana I love you more then you know.

New York Times Recipe Redux

Click on the picture for the recipe to the redux dish.

Each week the New York Times magazine does a column called Recipe redux by Amanda Hesser. This Sunday they featured a recipe, ironically from one of my regular guests parents which was published in 1971. The concept is simple Take a previously printed recipe and give it to a chef to use for inspiration or to take and turn it into something totally new. This was fun and a cool learning experience, they even let me use offal.

Here is a link to the article: Recipe Redux New York Times Magazine

PETAS faux gras stunt

This is a great video from Anthony Bourdain and No Reservations.

Again PETA is throwing money at the wrong thing offering someone the grand prize of $10,000 and their name for ever tied to this abomination vegetarian faux gras.  Don’t get me wrong i love vegetables, but this is just to much. I have attached the rules and regulations to the contest, seeing as its such a great opportunity to stop such a tasty historical food from existing.  So stay the fuck out of my stomach. Don’t worry folks the poor bastard who puts their name on this Faux Gras will go down in infamy.
