Top 5 at Village Voice Choice Eats Tasting Event – NYC
04.07.11 | Permalink | 3 Comments
Last Tuesday was my first time at Choice Eats, The 4th Annual Village Voice Tasting Event. I’ve avoided the event in previous years because I heard it was a madhouse; and indeed, it was a madhouse full of seemingly starved inmates and a few agitated guards. There was a fair deal of pushing and shoving, eating was difficult at times (unwieldy portions of food from some restaurants), and waiting was inevitable at the more popular tables (e.g., Takashi and Del Posto) even with a press pass. BUT, as long as you persevered, delicious food was to be had. Here’s my top five from the event… (I didn’t bother with Takashi and Del Posto. A real restaurant visit is in the works.) MORE »

Senegalese Summer Giveaway – NYC
06.17.10 | Permalink | 9 Comments
I get emails from PR people all the time about events around the city. A lot of times the events are lame, but this one sounded pretty cool. Pierre Thiam, the chef and owner of Le Grand Dakar in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn is having a viewing party called Senegalese Summer next Thursday (June 24, 2010) for his battle with Bobby Flay on Iron Chef America. Not into Iron Chef? Well that’s okay, because there will also be food (such as shrimp & sweet potato croquettes, oven roasted dates stuffed with spiced lamb, black eyed pea fritters, and skewered grilled steak with ginger & peanut crust) and unlimited sangria. Still not convinced? Well, there will also be music. Jojo Kuo — a veteran jazz, Afro pop, and World drummer who has collaborated with Fela Kuti — will also be performing. (There’s a nice story about him and his collab with Fela on Lens, The New York Times‘ photography blog.) MORE »
