Here’s why . . .
The InTheMo production team passed through the Valley last year. It was great to spend the day with them and talk all things restaurants and dining culture in Arizona. The result was a beautifully produced video of Quiessence and a few other spots. This is is my favorite and captures everything I love about this place, food and the chef. Enjoy.
I’m on day three in the city. But not enough time to write + eat + drink + work. If you wanna keep up, follow me on Twitter!
I’m taking a minute to recap the James Beard dinner.
1. The house is amazing. Four stories and you enter through the actual kitchen. Tons of funky history on the walls including Beard’s psychedelic chef coat.
2. Greg blew everyone away. Pasta was my favorite course.
3. Sat with new friends at Bon Appetit. Talked food, NYC and the ridiculousness of SB1070. Got encouragement to write an op-ed piece on the subject.
4. So proud of Greg and team. So nice to be in the company of giants in the industry.
VIDEO: Here’s a poor quality video of the main dining room.
