StarChefs Rising Stars Revue™ Chef Awards - Boston November 3rd 2009
This year’s Boston Rising Stars Gala was held on Tuesday, November 3. Ken Oringer, Michael Schlow, and Dante deMagistris, some of Boston’s top culinary mentors, joined the young up-and-coming culinary talent and 380 attendees in celebrating the achievements of the Boston Rising Stars class of 2009.
Garcia and his Tastings team recently won the Star Chefs magazine Boston Rising Stars Sustainability Award for all of New England.
According to StarChefs.com, the award "celebrates a chef who has placed sustainability at the heart of his/her culinary philosophy, who works to embody and manifest that philosophy through every aspect of his/her culinary program, and is recognized as a leader in sustainability in his/her community."
The stars certainly came out last night at the Mandarin Oriental for the StarChefs "Rising Stars Revue." In addition to delectable dishes such as coriander-crusted triggerfish with quinoa, wood-ear mushrooms and sweet-and-sour basil eggplant sauce from Perilla’s Harold Dieterle and a wild mushroom consommé with mushroom ravioli with peas, morel and chorizo from Aldea’s George Mendes, there were quite a few tidbits to be taken in from the masters in the house. David Bouley expressed his excitement for kaiseki cuisine, which will be the theme of Brushstrokes, his Japanese cooking school/restaurant debuting this winter
We've just watched our second class of Rising Star Chefs, well, rise. Yes, StarChefs.com has once again selected Boston to be one of the cities featured in its annual awards honoring culinary up-and-comers, and what a fantastic set of 14 stars it selected.
As we mentioned in our initial post on this event last week there is simply not enough time or space to write about all of the entrants. It was very difficult, given the level of talent, to choose a best from these tastings. However, I must say that I was absolutely blown away by our final selection.
Last night I was lucky enough to step out (in heels, no less) to taste, sip and mingle my way through the StarChefs.com Rising Stars Gala. StarChefs.com is a foodie magazine that recognizes up-and-coming chefs each year in a select few (usually four) cities around the country. This year Boston’s own culinary scenesters drew the attention of the board.
Fifteen Boston chefs, restaurateurs, and mixologists were honored at last night's StarChefs Rising Stars Revue and, as befits such an occasion, there was plenty of food.
Your entries poured in for our contest to win tickets to tomorrow night's StarChefs Rising Star Revue, with entrants singling out everyone from Jamie Bissonnette to Rembs Layman to Taberna De Haro's Deborah Hansen as Rising Stars.
A big congrats to StarChefs Rising Stars 2009! Boston honorees included Jamie Bissonnette, Toro; Mike Pagliarini, Via Matta; Louis DiBiccari, Sel de la Terre; Richard Garcia, Tastings Wine Bar & Bistro; and Joanne Chang, Flour, Myers + Chang.
Starchefs celebrates Boston's best up and coming chefs at this special dinner where each honoree creates a signature dish, Chefs include Jamie Bissonnette, Chris Chung, Will Gilson, Rachel Klein and others.
There are a lot of tasting events and food-related events going on in our fair city all the time. But in an effort to not become a slave to those (much appreciated) PR people that send out press releases all the time, I like to pick and choose which events are worth your hard-earned dollars- just like how I recommend restaurants I feel are worth the money.

When Bruce Springsteen urged listeners to "Come on up for the rising..." he most certainly wasn't thinking of food, but that's exactly what was on the minds of the attendees at last night's Rising Stars Revue, sponsored by StarChefs. The walk-around tasting, held in the grand ballroom of the Mandarin Oriental hotel, in the Time Warner Center, was the closing event for the annual Chef's Congress, capping three days of eye-opening seminars for serious foodies, on everything from maple syrup to mixing cocktails.
The StarChef's Rising Stars gala last night attracted Johnny Iuzzini, master sommelier Laura Maniec, and the honored chefs themselves, who manned food tables as part of their reward. We spotted Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds sipping a sample from Blue Hill sommelier Claire Paparazzo's table.
The indefatigable Laurie Pila Horowitz is in the process of preparing one of her wildly popular podcasts, you’ll be glad to hear, but in the meantime, a few words of appreciation for Abe & Arthur’s. The afterparty for the Rising Star Chefs Revue was held in the former Lotus space, and, boy, did they put one over on us!
Anticipated MePa restaurant/lounge Abe & Arthur's has been hosting parties in the old Lotus space since the beginning of Fashion Week, but last night was one of the first times it opened its doors to a huge food industry crowd. As the host of the afterparty for StarChefs—an industry trade conference that culminated in a gala last night—the newest spot from the team behind Tenjune and chef Franklin Becker welcomed in personalities like Cesare Casella, Amanda Cohen, George Mendes, and a huge cadre of present and former Top Cheffers.
If you're an avid reader of our little publication's website (like I know you are), you may remember a profile we did on Angelo Sosa this past summer, and if you could stop staring at the picture of the boxer-clad chef long enough to read the article, you might remember him talking about opening his new foodie venture Xie Xie. Well, what can I say; we have excellent taste, not only in good-looking men, but also in good restaurants. Sosa has just been named StarChefs' 2009 Rising Star.
Culinary trade organization StarChefs held its fifth annual New York Rising Stars Revue awards ceremony at the Mandarin Oriental to honor 13 of the city's "rising talents." (See our coverage in 2007 and 2008.) To honor the culinary muscle and mind in the room, we decided to do what we know best: grill each of the recipients on topics ranging from bloody kitchen injuries to Patriots season predictions. As always, all questions were pulled randomly out of a saucepan.
Last night, the Bon Appetit Awards honored Daniel Boulud, the Kogi Truck, OpenTable, Christina Tosi of Momofuku Milk Bar, and others. Per one tweet, “DB accepting his bon ap award jokes he’s going to debut a Korean sausage called Momofuckyou.” Meanwhile, a far more grandiose gala was going on. No, not StarChefs’ Rising Stars, though they were going down, too. The Emmys! Despite all the noms, the Top Chef crew came away empty-handed — but their tweets from the scene were precious.
Ticketholders will also gain admission to The New York Rising Stars Revue, a walk-around tasting gala celebrating up-and coming chefs, pastry chefs, sommeliers and restaurateurs, on Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at the Mandarin Oriental, New York.
...Starchefs events are about experiencing the best culinary talent of one city in one night. Unlike a food service or charity event, top chefs prepare fully composed hi-concept dishes.

I recently sat down at Freemans, and Maxwell Britten, a 2009 Star Chefs Rising Stars-winning mixologist, was behind the stick. Unlike Holden Caulfiend, Maxwell, a creative writing student who has lived in NYC since 2005, certainly has not had a lousy childhood.

Hosted by Brandon Kida of Asiate, the walk-around tasting gala is the culmination of the 4th AnnualStarChefs.com International Chefs Congress. The Rising Star Awards recognize up-and-coming chefs, pastry chefs, sommeliers, and mixologists from around the country that represent future leaders of the national culinary scene.
The overarching theme of this year's Congress is What is American Cuisine? The purpose is to explore how chefs and industry-leaders from around the country—and across the globe—define American Cuisine. Chefs, and subjects of study and exploration recognize the regional nuances of well-defined and established cuisines, such as Italian, French, Spanish, or Chinese. But the definition of American Cuisine—outside of hotdogs and hamburgers—and the regional differences within the United States is not commonly understood, inside or outside of the US.
On Tuesday, September 22(nd), StarChefs.com will be hosting the annual New
York Rising Stars Revue. Rising Stars is a national award that recognizes
up-and-coming chefs, pastry chefs, sommeliers and mixologists in four major
culinary markets each year.

StarChefs.com, the online “magazine for culinary insiders,” presented its “Rising Stars Revue” on Wednesday, June 17 at Charles Krug Winery (a beautiful venue on the grounds and in the recently renovated Carriage House) with a walk-around tasting that featured the Napa-Sonoma culinary rising stars and their signature dishes, paired with wines from Napa, Sonoma, France and Italy.
At gala events you expect to see top chefs preparing bite-sized nibbles for guests. But at StarChefs events working chefs are not just preparing the food, they are the ones being celebrated.
