Drinking and Diving with Brian McManus and Tim McGinnis

A New Take on the (Jewish) New Year

Okay. I’m not going to lie… being Korean and from Alaska… I really know nothing about the Jewish High Holidays. So class was definitely in session, at least for me, on Thursday, September 22. Even though it was my very first Rosh Hashanah experience, after class with Chef Ali Waks of Delicatessen, I think I can safely say that even I could create a meal that my hypothetical Jewish Bubby would be proud of.

Notes from the 57th Summer Fancy Food Show

Last week, the ladies of COOK ventured south of the Mason-Dixon line to sweltering Washington DC for the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade’s (NASFT) 57th Summer Fancy Food Show. The 3-day event, normally held in NYC, showcased 180,000 specialty foods and beverages and was a combination of overwhelming and delicious. And while we didn’t see them down there, I know that COOK’s Philly pals Metropolitan Bakery and Di Bruno Bros were also there to sample the goods and promote their own.
