Last night was the Food Bank for NYC Gala. Capital G. By the time Stanley Tucci introduced Mario Batali, we’d been well served and fed and serenaded by honoree Jimmy Fallon (his inspirational and original tune was called "Let’s Have a Car Wash for Peace"). Mario took the podium and…

I don’t really have time to post today because I’ll be spending the afternoon with the Experimental Cuisine Collective. Qu’est-ce que c’est? I’m not really sure either. There will be chefs (Goldfarb & Dufresne) and scientists (This & Margolskee) and a workshop after-party. Beyond that, I’ve no idea. But I…
