Apron Anxiety: A Michael White Exclusive
Michael White admits to—rarely—eating Cheetos and a Dr Pepper (or Mountain Dew) as his token go-to junk food. "But only when my wife isn't looking...she's Italian and doesn't like that stuff." He also says he's a rare breed: a tamed chef. "I usually go right home to my wife after work...those stereotypical chef days are long behind me!"Carol Blymire: Red Carpet Almost Ready
There is some serious vacuuming going on outside and some amazing smells inside.
Carol Blymire: Why, Thank You!
The good people at Mercedes Benz (a JBFA sponsor) are showcasing this 2011 SLS AMG in the welcome reception area. And, you know what else? Because they love me so much, they're letting me take it home tonight!! (no they're not) (meanies) (they should, though, right?) (I could totally turn that thing into a bad ass traveling foodmobile.)
Carol Blymire: Dry Ice Extravaganza
James Kent and the cool cats from Eleven Madison Park are working with Caviar Malossol at the welcome reception here in the lobby just after the red carpet. Wish you all could be here to smell what I'm smelling. Kevin Binkley from Arizona is putting the finishing touches on a bacon-leek-tomato-scallop soup, and Eric Klein from the Spago outpost in Vegas is doing rice cakes with fish and cucumber salad. I love watching these guys work.
