The Genius in the Kitchen: Behind the Scenes of Fine Dining at Crabtree’s Kittle House
After a month poking at the Kittle House website and creating general Internet harmony (like moving their email systems to Gmail), I decided I wanted to hang out in the kitchen. Chef Brad McDonald graciously allowed me to hang out in the kitchen for a day. It was a Monday night, so we had plenty of time to chat. He's from Mississippi, and has cooked at Alain Delancey, Per Se, and Noma. I'd [...]
Lingbo discovered some Russian eats at New Year’s party

Never would I have thought that what I do in my spare time - Tweeting, blogging, and stalking high school alums on Facebook - would come in handy. Well, never is an exaggeration. [...]
Excess, Delicious Excess: 5 Course Meal at Crabtree’s Kittle House Inn, Chappaqua, NY
I arrive a half-hour early for my interview with Glenn Vogt, who manages Crabtree's Kittle House Inn, a high end restaurant in Chappaqua. (Bill Clinton and his family dine here on a regular basis, including this past Christmas. His secret service team usually stands in the lobby, but this Christmas, they dined along the Clintons.)
