Located in The Beekman Hotel, Temple Court has earned high marks for both Chef Colicchio's signature style and seasonal take on classic dishes as well as for the restaurant and bar's meticulously appointed decor. Here he tells us how the restaurant pays homage to the neighborhood's history. Watch the video at: http://twn.nyc/TempleCourt "A lot of what we do here at Temple Court starts with this idea of bringing back the classics and making them modern. It's all a metaphor for what's going on Downtown. What's old is new, what's new is old - it's all coming back again," notes Chef/Owner Colicchio. "Walking from the Oculus to Temple Court, you can literally visit the future and the past of Lower Manhattan within 15 minutes," adds Simmons. Temple Court was one of the most highly anticipated restaurant openings in Lower Manhattan and is part of the wave of established names and up-and-coming food stars joining the neighborhood's ranks. On the horizon, additional Lower Manhattan restaurant openings will include projects from: - Andrew Carmellini (The Dutch), - Jean-Georges Vongerichten (ABC Kitchen, Jean-Georges), - Daniel Humm and Will Guidara (Eleven Madison Park), - Danny Meyer (Gramercy Tavern), - David Chang (Momofuku) and - James Kent (Nomad).

    Kraft Heinz: hungry for growth after austerity diet | Financial Times 19.02.19, 0746 The Big Read Kraft Heinz Co Kraft Heinz: hungry for growth after austerity diet With revenues flat and shares falling, the food group is cooking up fresh plans Alistair Gray and James Fontanella-Khan 2 HOURS AGO Pornography is an unconventional subject for a family food company. But during commercial breaks from the Super Bowl earlier this month, Kraft Heinz used the idea of “food porn” to promote frozen meals to American football fans. Without ever mentioning the P word during the primetime broadcast, the ads for its ‘Devour’ brand played on the theme of a young man becoming hooked after ogling online images of “steamy” mac and cheese. “This addiction can happen to anyone,” his girlfriend warns. The company went a lot further online: it even took out ads on an actual porn website. The Devour campaign is the latest sign from Kraft Heinz and its Brazilian investment backers, 3G Capital, that they are prepared to take risks to win back shoppers who have ditched the mass- produced foods that were household staples for generations. In the process, the company is trying to change the view of what has been one of the most influential and controversial business models of recent decades. 3G, whose brands range from Budweiser to Burger King, is known less for its marketing prowess and more for an intense focus on costs that has served as a model for corporate America in how to make money in mature markets. A tie-in advert with the superhero character Deadpool for the hit movie sequel promoted the Devour brand Yet almost four years since 3G engineered the $63bn megamerger of Kraft and Heinz, the company’s financial performance has stuttered with the shares down around one-third since the 2015 tie-up.
