May 19 Lunch at The James Beard House........
For over 15 years I have been
meeting an assortment of friends for lunch
and dinner at The James Beard House.
It was his home and where he taught
cooking and entertained
the food world.
It is a lovely brownstone in the
West Greenwich Village NYC.
The foundation invites chefs
from around the globe to come and cook,
a different chef and menu each time.
A different wine is served with each course.

Art and The JBJ Soul Kitchen.........Red Bank, NJ........
The other night in Red Bank NJ
the local art groups, galleries, studios,
and some of the businesses
sponsored an art walk.
We knew some of the artists and
had been involved with one of the galleries.
It sounded like a fun night plus
the weather was perfect for an evening stroll
through downtown Red Bank.
One of the stops was the JBJ Soul Kitchen.
It is an all-volunteer, pay what you can,
upscale “soup kitchen”/community restaurant.
Two of our friends volunteer there.

Red Hook, Brooklyn...................Baked.......
One of the first Red Hook
businesses to open after
superstorm Sandy was Baked.
http://bakednyc.com/
It was one of the stops on my
Waterfront Tour with
my friends at Urban Oyster.
http://www.urbanoyster.com/
Baked used their basement for storage
and even though they are 5 blocks
from the East River, it flooded.
Much of this inventory was kept in the basement.
As you can see they sell
more than baked goods
and have authored three cookbooks.
