"The blue September sky resembled another six years earlier, another that led to a day of death and destruction in the very same location, a location that came to be known as . The memory of that day of sadness and tragedy will remain always, but the area around Ground Zero is starting to rise again with a renewed spirit. Helping to feed that renewed spirit, the second annual Starchefs International Chefs Congress, was held from September 16th through the 18th at 7 World Trade Center" |

Chefs aren’t the only ones who feel pressure in the kitchen.
Recently, famed chef Joel Robuchon, who has been using sous vide
for over 20 years, spoke about the technique at the Star Chefs International Chef
Congress here in New York City and demonstrated how he is able to cater an event
for 5000 guests and deliver a perfectly cooked piece of duck. When one can take a
piece of foie gras, place it atop a piece of duck breast, wrap it in a cabbage leaf and
cook both proteins, which have different cooking times, to perfection using this
technique – you know they have to be on to something. |

Meanwhile, foodies are still talking about Antoinette Bruno's
StarChefs.com Congress last week. Several
cuisine kings, who shall remain nameless, ended up in the
pool with some female admirers at Hotel QT. Congress, indeed. |

Sociy for Culinary Arts
December, 2005
»The line-up of presenters and attendees
was quite impressive indeed. With Elliot in the background,
Bruno highlighted the theme of the Congress as "Flavor
and the American Spirit", noting "a renewed focus
on flavor, and culinary techniques are no longer an end in
and of themselves, but rather a means to an end." The
subtitle of the Congress, "A Kitchen Without Boundaries"
stems from the fact that American chefs "are not tied
to strict cultural traditions in the kitchen, but are free
to interpret cuisines from every country in the world."
She tied in the roles of those chefs visiting the Congress
from outside the US since "they embody the American spirit
in that they have dared to defy the boundaries of their own
cultures." With that rousing welcome, the Congress was
off and running.«
»Spain has Madrid Fusion. Italy has
Identita Golose. The U.S. has some very noteworthy Conferences
for food professionals like the CIA's World of Flavors and
IACP amongst others, exist in the U.S., but they involve all
sorts of food professionals and not just chefs. As such, I
am not aware of anything quite like this in the U.S.«
»Frankly, I felt like a kid in a candy
store. The whole thing was a pure blast. I can't say enough
about the staff and the chefs. They were all extremely helpful,
personable and very friendly.«
»It was a fantastic opportunity for
networking, seeing equipment up close, talking to various
vendors in one spot and having a damn good time.« |

Star Chefs: Report from the International Chefs Congress
- Day
1
After 11 years on the web, StarChefs.com
held its inaugural “International Chefs Congress”
last week. Gathering chefs from around the globe, the event
boasted an impressive line-up including pastry god Pierre
Hermé, elBulli’s Albert Adrià, Iron Chef
Masaharu Morimoto, NYC chemist-chefs Wylie Dufresne and Sam
Mason, local icon Anthony Bourdain, and culinary giants Daniel
Boulud and Eric Ripert (though Boulud is significantly smaller
than a real giant, Ripert comes close).
Day
2
It’s this writer’s wish that the success of the
International Chefs Congress will guarantee more of its kind.
It was educational, inspiring, and wicked fun, with first-class
talent not normally seen in the same place at the same time.
The culinary industry has come a long way in the States, it’s
about time someone put on a show worthy of that fact. StarChefs.com,
I raise my glass to you for being the first. |
