CMN - FP77: Chef Samantha "Mama Red" Izzo

Food Philosophy #77: Chef Samantha Izzo

Chef Samantha "Mama Red" Izzo from Simply Red Bistro in New York's Finger Lakes region joins me for a chat about her compelling history. Her restaurant (and philosophy) is the perfect amalgamation of her childhood in South Africa, her bluegrass roots and a healthy touch of sass!

CPN - Food Philosophy Videocast #9

Food Philosophy Videocast #9: Taste of the Nation Miami

After sampling some delicious morsels at Miami's Taste of the Nation, celebrating its 20th year in the fight against hunger, I chatted with the cherubic Allen Susser, coordinating chef of the event and chef/owner of the notable Chef Allen's.

I never cease to be amazed at the energy exuded by chefs to feed hungry people of all income levels, and Taste of the Nation is one of the finest charity events in the U.S. Not only does it benefit local food banks and charities, but it gives you, the guest, an opportunity to sample a city's most incredible tastes under one roof for an extremely reasonable price. This is capitalism and charity in a beautiful win-win relationship.

CPN - Food Philosophy #58

Food Philosophy #58: Miami Spice Month

Well, there's a first time for everything. I recorded some of this show while on my flight back from Mexico, so you get to be in the air right along with me. Before Mexico, however, we had a chance to explore the flavors of Miami Spice Month, which happens during August and September, and features more than 80 restaurants with specially priced menus ($22 for lunch, $35 for dinner).

We began by attending Share Our Strength's Taste of the Nation, which benefits anti-hunger programs both locally and nationally, and I'll have video next week of my interview with coordinating chef Allen Susser of Chef Allen's. We also savored tastings at Table 8 South Beach, La Palme d'Or, La Cofradia, Chispa, Sushi Samba Dromo and Grass, so I've included a little sampling of our thoughts on those. Yes, it was a busy week!

I'm also featuring video of my interview with Chef Govind Armstrong from Table 8 later this week, so don't miss that!

CPN - Food Philosophy #50

Food Philosophy #50: Lunch at the U.N.

I recently attended a luncheon in the Delegates Dining Room at the United Nations in New York featuring a festival of tastes from Italy's Piemonte region. Listen in as I speak with Chef Pier Bussetti, who headed up this team of the Stelle del Piemonte -- Piemonte's Star Chefs -- to showcase the region's unique pairing of tradition with ultra-modern sensibility.

I've also had some new ideas about that summer Dating Adventure, and think a dining club would be a helluva lot more fun.

Food Philosophy #39: Lunch with Jean-Louis

My dear friend and master chef Jean-Louis Gerin (zee big bad Beard Award winner) invited me to lunch at Opia in New York, where we got to discuss his new artisanal spiced chocolates, his chocolate body paint/spatula combo, and masculinity/femininity in the U.S. vs. Europe. There is never a dull moment when Jean-Louis is around, so this is one of the most engaging (and fun!) chef conversations I’ve ever had.
