Introducing the Legal Smörgåsbord
If you really want to make it big in the food world, chances are you'll need professional savvy and skills that go beyond a mastery of impeccable brunoise.
On Monday, June 4, we're offering an inaugural Legal Smörgåsbord, a series of business and law–focused sessions that will help chefs succeed outside of the kitchen. Led by attorneys Brian Mencher and David Beame of Beame & Mencher LLP, the day's topics will include copyright and trademark law, contract negotiations, endorsements, and much more.
The sessions are free for JBF Professional and Student members, while others must pay $25 to attend. Get more details here. Call 212.627.2308 to reserve.

Recipe: Chilled Watermelon Soup with Mint and Ginger
Even though splitting open a watermelon before it's officially summer feels like sacrilege, we're thankful that this chilled watermelon soup from Las Vegas–based chef Carla Pellegrino has come to rescue us from the recent spike in temperature. Made with blended frozen watermelon and served with a mound of crushed ice in its center, this dish will cool you to the core. Get the recipe here.
