Gramercy Tavern & Park Avenue Winter = Awesome Program at Japan Society (NYC)

Moto — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 03:15:00 +0000

I’ve been putting together quite a few programs on food this season, and another GREAT one is coming up. Gramercy Tavern executive chef Mike Anthony, as well as Park Avenue Winter Craig Koketsu will be speaking about Japanese ingredients on Tuesday February 2. They are some of the hottest chefs (dot dot dot) in New York City, and will be well worthwhile to come hear what they have to say. To make it even more perfect, the program will be moderated by Julia Moskin of The NY Times!

James Beard House Exhibit (NYC)

Erin Gleeson — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:01:00 +0000

I am happy to announce that my exhibit at the James Beard House featuring 20 of my photos, is now up through the end of February.

The James Beard Foundation is a non-profit culinary organization based in NYC, which resides inside the late James Beard’s Greenwich Village brownstone. I have had the honor to photograph many of the weekly dinners hosted by the foundation– namely, all the talented chefs that come through and their wondrous creations. Proceeds from the dinners help aspiring chefs attend culinary school, among other things.
