Food Network Festival Draws Plenty of Celebrity Chefs

Along with some of New York's top chefs, the stars of Food Network were busy partying hard this weekend at the Food Network's NYC Wine and Food Festival. The Macy's Culinary Council party on Saturday night (which I attended - more details to come!) drew the largest crowd of celebrity chefs.

Gail Simmons mingled with friends, while Bobby Flay danced with fans. Tyler Florence chatted quietly on the 10th floor rooftop, but Johnny Iuzzini got angry when the bouncer wouldn't let him access the too-crowded roof.

Is There a Difference Between Male and Female Cooking?

Food blog Eater recently featured an upcoming course at New York City's Astor Center. The class (which is really more of a social experiment) will examine the myths of gender in the restaurant kitchen. During the event, 10 chefs‚ including Alex Guarnaschelli and Johnny Iuzzini, will cook a five-course meal to be blind taste-tested by Grant Achatz and Gwen Hyman. The judges will try and discern which dishes are made by a man and which ones are made by a woman. While I find the concept behind the class fascinating and am curious to see the final results, I doubt there will be a notable difference between the way a male and female cook. What do you think?
