Vegetarian brunch at @dirtcandynyc to start my Sunday. Green eggs and no ham was amazing with its tempura coated poached eggs. My companion had layered omelet and we shared pepper jelly filled fritters. #latergram #vegetarian #brunch #NYCeats #amandacohen #instatravel (at Dirt Candy)

On Saturday (that would be October 1), I moderated the first (of more? here's hoping) Skirt Steak Panel (subtitled--because today, a simple title alone is not enough--How [Women] Chefs Get the Job Done). Perched on the stools beside me were Traci Des Jardins (http://tracidesjardins.com/), Carla Hall (http://www.carlahall.com/), Anita Lo (http://www.annisarestaurant.com/) and Amanda Cohen (hold, please). The latter, one of the best chef-bloggers in the 'biz, posted a recap the way that only she can. It's folded into her description of the Meatball Madness your-vegetarian-ball-can't-compete shindig she participated in a few nights prior (both events were part of the New York City Wine and Food Festival, aka NYCWFF).
