Your Food Party

Le Grand Fooding is not your average food event.

Last year, the Paris magazine brought their A-game to PS1, where renowned East Coast chefs dueled with equally, renowned West coast chefs (East side for life!) for the battle of street cred and also a good cause. Chefs like Dan Barber, David Chang, April Bloomfield and Nate Appleman were some of the familiar faces on the scene.

This year, the event is back in full fledge to excite, delight and bring down the house. Get your act together because this is not an event you want to miss!

Danny Meyer, you sly dog.

You give us Maialino, a Roman Trattoria that blows our minds, and then you manage to slip in an under-the-rader, unpretentious, little summer happy hour at the bar that leaves us scratching our heads (in the satisfying, scratching our heads kind of way, of course).

Let’s dive right into the most, refreshing happy hour to hit New York this summer.

As a fellow designer in the Advertising industry, nothing pleases me more than reinvention. Designer, Jörn Beyer from Düsseldorf, Germany simply took milk cartons and slapped recognizable alcohol brand labels like Jack Daniels, Absolut Vodka and Jägermeister onto them, causing an instant reaction and many questions.

There really isn’t much to say about this meal but two, very powerful words…

Jean Georges.

Goat tastes like chewy, stew-quality beef. I learned this (and other things) by eating something new every day for roughly forty days, an experiment that began mostly as an excuse to try new restaurants near my apartment in New York’s East Village. What follows is a reflection on those forty days and sixty-something new foodstuffs. (N.B.: Let’s get specific. I’m referring to food purchased outside the home, including takeout, delivery & eat-it-right-there-on-the-spot farmers’ market/food truck purchases.)
