Wow- a quick trip to New York is always a whirlwind but this one was a cyclone. I hit the ground running for meetings with some publishers and PR folks, then some super brainstorming/dragon slaying over drinks with some incredible new media types at King Cole Bar at the St. Regis--- I got the 411 on the history of the Bloody Mary from Conrad, the bartender there. More on that to come next week. Dinner at DBGB--- Daniel Boulud's latest restaurant was fantastic. Casual, cool and very posh, these weren't your grandmother's sausages! More to come on that, too.
I was also lucky enough to get to sit in on some of the action behind the scenes during Guy Fieri's taping of Ultimate Recipe Showdown--- Party Food. I really wanted to see Guy in action- he's such a pro at what he does. It was a blast. FYI, Guy's got a HUGE rock and roll type cooking tour coming up and I know this is going to be a show you don't want to miss. I think you can get info and tickets now at www.guyfieri.com
It's a crazy time of the year with football, festivals, birthdays--- charity events!!! So much going on that I'm going to have to catch you up next week because I am late for Arden's birthday lunch. We've got lots of pictures and ideas coming up to help you make your fall festivities easy, affordable and really fun! Have a great weekend!!
