Just found out that one of my Culinary heroes, Wylie Dufresne will be opening a new spot in the East Village at 157 Second Avenue. Alder will be a 50-seat pub. The kitchen will serve “modern casual food and well-crafted cocktails.” The name Alder is the Old English analog for Ellery, the name of Dufresne’s second daughter.
One of my Fav Chefs (Wylie Dufresne) is nominated for the James Beard Award. Go Wylie Dufresne! Check out the full list here
The new Top chef starts next month. The show is called Top Chef Masters. There is no lovable bear Tom Colicchio or no sexy hotness of Padma Lakshmi. But it does have Wylie Dufresne as a contestant and thats what will make me watch it!
Man I wish it was the holidays again, not for the family or the presents but beause i just found this NY Magazine article where Wylie Dufresne gives you all the recipeies for an 8 course meal. Maybe you dont like christmas, maye you would want Thomas Keller’s take on the The Perfectionist’s Thanksgiving or Anthony Bourdain’s Hedonist’s New Year’s Brunch.
