    A Butcher Boss Babe is Fauquier Fabulous

    Hello everyone. Look I am somewhere new. You may recall the four shows out at Barrel Oak Vineyards. Remember that? Every week I would drive out and let the blood pressure just drop. And what did I tell you I did after every trip? I would drive down the road from Barrel Oak in to the pretty little town of Marshall. I’d stop by Red Truck Bakery for a few cookies and then I would have a late lunch at the Whole Ox where I’d order the The Big Ox two 1/3 lb beef patties ground in house with special sauce and all the fixings. Then I’d swaddle around a little in the market pick up some wine, some amazing well curated snacks and some steaks. I’ve always been obsessed with the Whole Ox because it’s in this little gem of a town and carries everything I want from a little independent butcher shop and market and where am I today?! Well I am across the street from the Whole Ox in this gorgeous kitchen and entertainment space called The Whole Ox Too — Yes! They have expanded. I can not wait to catch up with this incredible badass butcher and shop owner,  Amanda Luhowiak AND thanks to Laura Torpy, Tourism Coordinator of  Fauquier County Tourism I am out in Fauquier County for a four Episode residency! Over the next few months I will be coming out here to chat and learn and share with you Fauquier Life. Which is pretty Fauquier Fabulous Laura is truly an ambassador for Fauquier. She has so much community pride and she really can walk us through the hikes, the horse farms, the culture, the wine, the Blue Ridge and the beer of this region. And then to Amanda Luhowiak, owner of The Whole Ox in Marshall, Who recently finished second on The Food Network's Guy’s Grocery Games. Making Burgers — amirite?

  4. Giving Voice to the Southern Woman Cooks

    Giving Voice to the Southern Woman Cooks

    Last I left off that I was having lunch at Jose’s with Alice Waters and Joan Nathan — and a few others because Alice was in town to receive Julia Child Foundation award AND I was there at the Museum of American History and so was former award winners, Danny Meyers, Sean Sherman, Grace Young, Jacques Pepin on and one of my guests today  Toni Tipton Martin — to honor Alice who has been a champion of local sustainable agriculture for over four decades. So that is the perfect segue to Toni Tipton Martin and Morgan Bolling. Their glorious new cookbook, When Southern Women Cook from America’s Test Kitchen, reflects the diversity of the South, the women who live there and their personal culinary histories. My understanding is that this book came together thanks to Toni - (who is the EIC at Cook’s Country Magazine) and Morgan’s - (who is the executive Editor at the publication) — conversations about the intersection of food & women empowerment. More than 70 women (several of whom have been on this show) share their Southern roots through storytelling and recipes. Yes, there’s recipes for fried chicken (8 actually and we will find out why) and so many other favorites but more importantly Toni and Morgan provide a space for women to take control of the Southern Culinary narrative. When Southern Women Cook — History, Lore and 300 Recipes And if you do not know, Toni Tipton Martin is multi time James Beard Award–winning author and is one of the founders of the Southern Foodways Alliance And Morgan Bolling is a tv celebrity, as a cast member of the Cook’s Country TV show.

The star studded event at the pretty fab Glasshouse included me introducing Chef Nobu, Robert DiNero and Meir Tepper for a Sake ritual — while guests like Martha Stewart, Jean George V and Eric Ripert raised a glass — David Foster & Katherine McPhee provided the entertainment we can totally sidebar about David Foster and I gave away 4 luxurious packages to Nobu properties around the world. It was spectacular and I am still thers soaking in all that magicOfc I’m in NYC — I am going to eat — and seeing Eric Ripert gave me the idea to head to the bar after the party and have a feast at the bar at Le Baernadine — it never disappointsAnd ofc I am in NYC you know I am going to take some time to see a show so I did stay for a little extra took a couple of meeting and got to see Daniel Dae Kim in Yellow Face.I don’t really have time to get into the amazing experience on dining on the field at Nat’s Stadium with Jose Andres, Carla Hall and a variety of DC’s best chefsOkay well that was fun to relive!

    Monica Saigal Comes With Love & Butter Chicken

    Hello it’s so good to be back on air. Took a little break — well not really a break I’ve been working but I took a few weeks off from this show to get inspired and bring renewed energy. And Wow! There’s so much going on and I’ve been eating - per usual and doing — also per usual  So take a virtual trip with me of where I have been before I bring on this week’s guest Monica SaigalTook a working vacation out of town and went to the Eastern Shore. Stayed at a lovely air bnb with a pool on the bay — total change of perspective! We cooked almost every night — you can see some of our feasts on insta. We did go to Ruse in St. Michaels — so impressed and really deliciousQuick trip up to NYC to see the elephants marching — not live — but it feels like it. These magnificent 100 sculptures created in India are displayed throughout the Meatpacking District. It’s Fabulous as is the Play - Oh Mary! If you don’t know google it and then get ticketsDinner at Brescia. Some of the best hospitality in the cityDinner at St Anslems.  One of the best steaks — and biscuits — in the city. We sat with Greek winemaker, Angelos Latridis of Alpha MalaGouzia wines. Ate & drank.An EPIC — and I do mean EPIC meal at El Cielo — A multi-course/multi-sensory tasting menu featuring Colombian cuisine. There’s a reason for the Michelin star. Okay that’s a glimpse into my eating, drinking and doing and now to today’s guest. I love when I bring on people that I have known since the beginning of my time in this industry. Monica Bhide — now Monica Saigal — we both started covering the food scene at the same time. Monica had a day job but she was writing mesmerizing articles for The New York Times, Bon Appétit, The Washington Post, and NPR. She has always blended stories of food with culture and her personal connections.

    Award Winning Women

    So today I am back with the Peter Chang family at their latest restaurant in the DC Area - NiHao Arlington, at the new Amazon headquarters at National Landing in Arlington, VA. The vibe is very hip and summery, with an airy street-facing bar and lots of delicious small plates. Lydia Chang designed the gorgeous space and I cannot wait to catch up with her. ALSO on this show is good friend and recent James Beard & RAMMY award winner Masako Morishita — so excited to have two boss babes with in with me today. I met Masako before she was ever in a restaurant kitchen. I remember where I met her! We were at the opening of Officina and your boyfriend at the time (now husband) introduced us. You were making something — dumplings doing pop ups? Anyway a year or so later you joined me on F&TB — you were executing at Brent Kroll’s Maxwell. And now you winning all sorts of well-deserved accolades while behind the stove at Perry's. How did you go from being the captain of the Commanders cheerleading squad to the 2024 James Beard Foundation’s Emerging Chef and the 2024 RAMMY’s Rising Culinary Star of the Year. At the end of today’s show, Lydia and Masako agreed to a short panel discussion on the trials and tribulations of being immigrant Asian women in the hospitality industry. Lydia’s team laid out a feast for our discussion — it was honest and frank and delicious  — tune in.

    Hello and welcome to another episode of Industry Night! Taking a break this week from residencies — although haven’t they been fun?! Loved being out in Delaplane, Virginia sitting amongst the vines of Barrel Oak  and the mountains of the Shenandoah off in the distance. It such a treat to tape this show on location but sometimes, just sometimes,— my guests are all the way across the country so we pop on the screen to chat here in my not nearly as sexy as a vineyard … office. So for those of you who know me it takes a lot for me to gush about my guests. I like to play it cool — I mean it’s my job to interview people and I have had the pleasure of chatting with so many of the greats in this industry.
