You know Thomas Keller and Daniel Boulud are throwing their formidable weight behind the selection and preparation for the 2009 competition this coming January in Lyon, the home of the original golden Bocuse himeself. You might even know that Hung, the winner of Top Chef last year, is reportedly interested. You probably also know today is the last day to submit your application if you want to make the team and spend the next six months training with Thomas...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/feed_chezpim/~3/332386673/bocuse-dor-take.html not a kitten- June 20, 2008 Ceci n'est pas un chaton. --not a fish either.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/feed_chezpim/~3/332386674/not-a-kitten.html It was at Kossar's- June 17, 2008 Some of you were right on, that sign was from the front window of Kossar's Bialys, that venerable institution in the Lower East Side of NYC. You see why it's the sign of the apocalypse If an institution like Kossar's gave in to the fad.... The bialys was still toothsome and tasty as ever.

I'm not sure how my friend Joey Altman...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/feed_chezpim/~3/332386677/capturing-movin.html Backstage pass to the Lexus Rare Wine dinner at Pebble Beach Food and Wine- June 2, 2008 Remember the fun weekend at Pebble Beach Food and Wine a couple months ago I told you we shot some videos of the event, and here's the very first installation. It's a backstage pass to the very exclusive Lexus Rare Wine Dinner. I was undercover in the kitchen spying on the chefs cooking before and during the fabulous event, and now you can come with me!
