Les Dames d’Escoffier Next Big Bite

I’m giving the keynote to this event, which examines how chefs, farmers, doctors, and thought leaders are shaping a new standard for nourishment—one that’s delicious, culturally rich, and deeply restorative. Experience a Tasting Showcase break between panels; enjoy freshly prepared healthy nibbles from @chefmarialoi, @jennydale20, @chef_jesseriley, and @tarakhattarofficial.  Starts 5:30 p.m. Institute for Culinary Education, 225 Liberty Street/Brookfield Place, NYC.
