The NYCWFF is just days away, people. For those of you still scrambling to score access to the hottest events, let us throw you a line.
Our ticket sweepstakes is still happening, but we’ve just secured an additional two-spot to A Locally Sourced Evening. The Saturday night affair will be presented at Norwood by Michael Cirino and his traveling supper club, A Razor, a Shiny Knife. Per the usual ARASK approach, guests can stop by any time after 2:30pm to help prepare the six-course meal (or your lazy ass can just show up at 7:30 to eat).

If ever you wax nostalgic for the days when reality TV meant The Real World: Seattle, the Food Network has heard your wistful sighs. Last Friday, the people that brought your ma Emeril officially launched Food2, a website designed for those who weren’t yet born yet when Julia Child ruled the airwaves, but nonetheless live for throwing the next dinner party. Between mutton sliders and Campari cocktails, the Feed caught up with Kelsey Nixon, Spike Mendelsohn and more of the fledgling site’s online talent at the launch party at Chelsea Market. Read more »

Last month, in preparation for his Chicago dinner, Cirino was invited to stage at Achatz’s molecular temple, Alinea. See part one of this series here; part two you’ll find here.

A Razor, A Shiny Knife’s much talked-about Grant Achatz and Thomas Keller tribute dinner unfolded this weekend. The 20-course experiment (a “bargain” at $300) was inspired by the superchefs’ $1,500-a-head bacchanal at Per Se last month. (Later in the post,we check in with half of the evening’s inspiration—Grant Achatz himself—to get his take on the proceedings.) Sure, aping the works of two of the country’s most lauded toques requires a certain level of cockiness confidence. But ARASK’s attempt felt more deferential than presumptuous, particularly when presented by ringleader Mike Cirino, whose jocular trips over French menu descriptions were received warmly by this young, willing crowd.
