News Feed: The Road to the Beard House
While most dinners at the Beard House appear to go off without a hitch, there are ample opportunities for a few snags behind the scenes—and not only in the kitchen. Endless planning goes into bringing chefs and their ingredients to our venue on West 12th Street in New York City, and the trip can involve countless people, more than one mode of transportation, and, in Pino Posteraro's case, a daunting passage through airport customs. Check out this article from Vancouver magazine, which follows the Canadian chef's footsteps as he endures the strenuous, but ultimately rewarding journey to the Beard House kitchen.Recipe: Farmer’s Mac & Cheese
We learned earlier today that macaroni and cheese is all the rage in New York City. For those of you who can't pay a visit to one of the city's mac 'n' cheese "boutiques," this hearty, Tabasco-kissed recipe will certainly satisfy your craving. It comes from Joanne Bondy of Old Hickory Steakhouse at the Gaylord Texas Resort in Dallas.

We love this fall recipe for two reasons. First, sweet potatoes are one of our favorite ingredients of the season. Second, the root vegetable's moderate starch content will result in lighter gnocchi (lots of starch can make it chewy and dense). The dish comes from Jeff Crump's cookbook Earth to Table and will be served at tonight's Beard House dinner.
