Gossip Girls in Chanel at Four Seasons and David Rockwell's High-Tech Taste on Paper Plates

FROM NEW YORK There are so many reasons why I’ve never seen an episode of Gossip Girl.

For starters, I’m not really sure what channel is the CW, and besides, doesn’t CW make you think of country music? By the time New York magazine was calling Gossip Girl “Best. Show. Ever.” I decided I was too late to the party. Couldn’t I just hold my breath for a few years till it faded away? How stupid.

Because as with the last cult hit show in the New York area, The Sopranos, Gossip Girl’s far-flung cast is relentless in pursuit of publicity and as a result, I see one or two of them at every single party I go to, and it is always a big deal, despite the fact that they all seem so tiny in person.

As Gourmet Bites the Dust, October Is Food Month in New York

FROM NEW YORK It’s getting hot in here and the pressure is mounting. I’m in the kitchen with Jacques Pépin and about 20 students who are racing against the clock to complete their stuffed ballotines of chicken. Pépin is perspiring and working furiously as he goes from one student to the next, showing each the main steps that he demonstrated twice onscreen already.

It is 4:15 on a Saturday afternoon at the French Culinary Institute, and I’m sitting in on a New York magazine-sponsored deluxe weekend of instructional cooking, the New York Culinary Experience, with some of the world’s leading chefs. In addition to Monsieur Pépin, fellow F.C.I. deans André Soltner (formerly of Lutèce) and Alain Sailhac (formerly of the 21 Club) are sauntering around the room, assisted by six sous chefs, by my count. In two days, the announcement that Gourmet is closing will shock this community, but today we are all blissfully enjoying Food Month. MORE >>

Susur Lee's Manhattan Venture Receives Mixed Reviews

It’s been three months since Shang, the anticipated restaurant by acclaimed chef Susur Lee, arrived in Manhattan. But despite Lee’s list of accomplishments—from battling Bobby Flay on Iron Chef to owning successful Toronto restaurants Madeline’s and Lee—Shang has received less than flattering reviews.

Adam Platt of New York magazine described the restaurant—located on the second floor of the boutique hotel Thompson LES on the Lower East Side—as “low-slung and haphazardly lit,” with “generic club music,” and “a few scraggly sprays of cherry blossoms and oversize lanterns made out of what look like rumpled old stockings.” He considers the restaurant “too prosaic.” MORE >>
