Michael Laiskonis: Notes from the Kitchen

Le Bernardin, the fountainhead four-star seafood restaurant in New York City, headed by Chef Eric Ripert, who gets much of the acclaim, but the dessert accolades can be directed to Michael Laiskonis.

BACK OF THE HOUSE at the French Culinary Institute

If you happen to find yourself on tour, or taking a class at the French Culinary Institute (FCI) in New York City, you might notice that a selection of twelve 20x30 "Back of the House" photographs are hanging on the walls of their gallery space. The show will be up until mid-May 2008, thenceforth looking to be hung in a new location.
