I had an 11-Champagne lunch recently. I was not being indulgent, but doing work at a press luncheon for Piper-Heidsieck and Charles Heidsieck. I love the bubbly wine, but it was interesting to be able to have several at a time to really compare and contrast. To divine which ones…

If you’ve ever read any of Tony Bourdain’s books (Kitchen Confidential in particular) you know a career in cooking is is good way to get a kid off the streets. Good logic not just stateside, but worldwide. Koto is a "social enterprise" that teaches kids culinary skills for a restaurant…

As I walked down 22nd street last night, up to the door of Borough Food & Drink , I admit I was bracing for a maelstrom. I’d heard Tuesday night’s party for the neighbors turned into a 700-plus crazy full house. I’d seen Wednesday night’s invite posted online. I was…

A few updates to get the week started. Recall the chef Robuchon beanie baby on auction at eBay? Sold for $3550. Quelle folie! I have one. In case anyone is interested? And in sports news, Rocco "Ironman" Dispirito did indeed compete in the St. Croix Triathlon. Bravo for the finish. …

I don’t listen to the radio. I don’t have a car, or a long commute to work, or a shower radio. So my curiosity was piqued when I got the invite to go see Martha Stewart’s radio show on Sirius. The occasion was the launch of a new series, "At…
