While every COOK dinner is an important one, tonight’s will surely hold a special place in our hearts. This evening, Team COOK will enjoy a bon voyage dinner at Noord (thanks Joncarl!!!) for one of our own. Yoni, whose COOK photography inspired us to launch a new (and much improved) website tomorrow, will be leaving the City of Brotherly Love to study at University of Gastronomic Sciences in Italy’s Piedmont region. Considering his trademark “I ♥ Boobies” wristband, perhaps it was his destiny to find a new home in a town called Bra. I digress…

As Art Director for all things Audrey Claire Taichman, I can’t say how thankful I am to have had a talent such as Yoni’s on hand. Yoni needed little direction, always knowing what shots were needed. Even better, Yoni often found a shot where we never would have thought to look. He has a natural “eye,” and it was at COOK that he found his calling for photography. I think I speak for the entire COOK staff when I say that when we view his photographs, we see more than the actual subject of the photograph. Rather, we see a snapshot of an evening that we shared. For us, the photographs are memories. And for those, young Yoni, we thank you.
