  1. Seems that 'Ceviche' is in the news for more than just their food for the opening of their new outpost in Orlando
  2. NY Times article on Michelin's third annual New York City restaurant ratings
  3. Joe, I doubt the New York critics are just trying to put him in his place. Note the following excerpt from this article in the Washingtonian: It appears that while Fabio is bringing some of his signature dishes with him, he's not trying to transplant Maestro in NY. Relax a bit and see what happens.
  4. I'm just wondering how they'll fit all the chefs into the tiny kitchen at the JB house for this event. Even when working in shifts, it's a pretty small space.
  5. Just picked up the latest copy of Chocolatier Magazine and the "Inside Story" on the last page is a short article about Artisan Confections, including descriptions of the 12 chocolates shown. Lovely photo of the 12-piece assortment Jason You'll need to purchase the magazine to read it as the website doesn't contain the articles. I think it's time for a trip to Arlington. For you chocoholics, the magazine also has an ad for the upcoming Chocolate Show in NYC in November.
  6. I wish him well also, but I'm very disappointed in his view on what comes next. Already talking about multiple cookbooks, kitchen apparel line, bottled vinaigrettes, knives, etc. etc. "Spoons, bowls, plates, hats," he says, ticking off Chef Rock products-to-be. "Furniture." And having an agent try to get him into the MTV video awards as a guest of 50-Cent?? Come on Rock, start cooking first. All of this will happen in due course.
  7. I spoke with Sharon Lankford today regarding Sunday's open house at the farm. Sharon said they have invited chefs & other workers from various restaurants and are expecting people to attend from a few places in Annapolis and from a new restaurant that is soon opening in Trappe. They are putting together a barbecue pit and plan to cook hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken and sausages. Perhaps some grilled eggplant and squash from their greenhouses, along with tomatoes, radishes, carrots, etc. will be available. Sodas, tea & other snacks will also be provided so no need to bring anything. Sharon and David are very excited about the open house and are looking forward to showing everyone around to see what they've accomplished, with the caveat that it's still a work-in-progress. It's not too late to join us on the Eastern Shore to see how one local farm provides an amazing array of fruits and vegetables to some of our favorite restaurants. If you're interested, please PM me and I'll send you the directions and contact info. See you at the farm! -Camille (Pat)
  8. Padma seems to be protecting Sara. She seemed impatient and annoyed with Colicchio when he mentioned the lack of flavor in Sara's couscous.
  9. We're now a week away from the Lankford's open house at the farm. The more the merrier, so please PM if you're interested in heading out to the farm next Sunday.
  10. From the Arlington Farmer's Market e-newsletter: We should think about getting a group together for a road trip to Polyface some weekend this fall. Beau and I can take 2 passengers and a couple of large coolers to hold purchases. Anyone interested?
  11. My presence didn't bring down the median age by too much but yes, it is a mature clientele.
  12. Had lunch there today for the first time -- actually didn't know it existed before today. Very good seared tuna salad. The funny part was the shocked reaction by the server ( ) when I chose "rare" in response to her question of "rare" or "well done". -Camille
  13. goldenticket is correct -- Todd is a partner in the restaurant (and PX!) ventures. Cathal and Todd were guests on "Elliot in the Morning" today
  14. On behalf of David and Sharon Lankford of Davon Crest Farms, please plan to attend their upcoming open house at their farm located on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The Lankfords would like the opportunity to personally thank the volunteers who contributed so much in moving the farm to the new location and to invite any new donrockwell.com members who wish to tour the farm. Lunch and refreshments will be provided. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHEFS, VOLUNTEER WORKERS, SUPPORTERS & FRIENDS APPRECIATION DAY OPEN HOUSE September 16th 9:00AM TO 6PM With your help, we've come a long way towards rebuilding DAVON CREST II. We have a lot farther to go, but it's time to show what we've done. Come see a work in progress and experience how your produce is grown. With deepest gratitude for your loyalty and support while we complete our relocation. Thank you! David & Sharon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NO work clothes (or WORK), power tools or contributions of any kind will be required and children are very welcome to attend, provided that they are supervised. Please send a message to "Camille-Beau" so that we can provide directions, carpooling options, or answer questions that you may have. Thanks!
  15. I have two bottles of this waiting to be picked up or delivered from Emeryville, CA. If only wine could still be put in carry-on luggage...
  16. At the 2006 Food & Wine classic in Aspen, Rocco hired several blonde model-type assistants -- all wearing black dresses and the same turquoise colored necklace -- to work the crowds at the event and invite them to a local gallery for a free copy of Rocco's cookbook. The book-signing was sponsored by Fancy Feast cat food and did not have appear to have any association with Food & Wine at the time. Basically Rocco used their event to promote himself and the book. A smiling Beau with one of Rocco's 'assistants': and Rocco signing a book (hey, it was free...) Notice the "Chevron" jacket. Sponsor perhaps? New job maybe? Back to Top Chef, note the clues they drop in the first few minutes or so about who will be leaving. Last week they focused on the close friendship between Sara and Dale so you knew one of them would be axed. Dale's immunity made the answer pretty obvious. Any bets on when Howie leaves?
