Conference co-chairs, Dottie Koteski and Anita Pignatoro and their committee, promised a conference that would inspire and energize, and they delivered. We enjoyed a bounty of rich, educational programs along with a diverse selection of historic tours. Speakers were exceptional starting with the keynote talk by Marion Nestle, Ph.D. who spoke about the new food revolution and events leading to the current push for a healthier and more sustainable food system. Her presentation was followed by an inspiring talk by Michael Whiteman, considered this country’s leading food and restaurant consultant. His talk “Preparing for Change” gave us a world view of an ever-changing food industry. Those talks revved us up for a series of seminars the next two days. You’ll find reviews about these seminars in the following pages.

CROIX FOUNDATION Celebrating St. Croix This year’s A Taste of St. Croix tribute can go out to none other than St. Croix itself. Over the years, the resilience and commitment of the people of St. Croix has proven itself time and time again. Creating a sense of family and unity, strength against all odds, the people of St. Croix are to be celebrated. The Unity. We are called The Big Island, but St. Croix has a feeling of closeness and unity. There is a sense of family among neighbors, coworkers, and even on the roads of St. Croix, where you can hear the distinct “toot toot” of the honk of car horns encouraging others to go before them. Working together to make a difference for the greater good: the people of St. Croix believe in each other and in our island. That is unity. It is St. Croix. The Strength of the people of St. Croix is unique; people talk to one another on the Big Island, we look each other in the eye, and feel the challenges and the triumphs that one another experience. There is no stronger and happier sound than someone laughing on a beach on St. Croix. The voices of St. Croix, strong and true, are testimony to their conviction that St. Croix is special and that its beauty, history, and future must be protected. The Community. St. Croix has come together, year after year, rising above natural disasters, political firestorms, economic recessions, and through it all has become all the stronger, a diverse and beautiful gem in the Caribbean.

  • THE NEXT IRON CHEF: REDEMPTION Episode Descriptions
    Press Contact: Lauren Sklar Phone: 646-336-3745; E-mail: [email protected] *High-res images, show footage, and interviews available upon request. THE NEXT IRON CHEF: REDEMPTION Episode Descriptions Premiering Sunday, November 4th at 9pm ET/PT “Resourcefulness” In the season premiere of The Next Iron Chef: Redemption, ten of the most respected chefs in the culinary world take a trip to the beach to find that they must cook with the ingredient that sent them packing from previous Next Iron Chef and Iron Chef America competitions. Provided with just the essentials for cooking and 60 minutes to prove their culinary mettle, the chefs must rewrite their unpleasant histories with this ingredient and get a jumpstart on the road to redemption. Waves of trepidation pulse through the chefs when they see the “redemption” ingredients that they are expected to cook over hot coals and prove that they can be resourceful under difficult cooking conditions. The two least successful chefs enter a Secret Ingredient Showdown, and only one chef will prove worthy to move on to the next round. Premiering Sunday, November 11th at 9pm ET/PT “Innovation” The nine remaining chefs head to an all-American diner to test their culinary skills of innovation. Instead of just elevating diner food to Kitchen Stadium-worthy dishes, the chefs must transform the diner classics with a global spin. The chefs head to Kitchen Stadium, but in a twist, they must compete against each other in groups of three to execute the innovation challenge. Each group is assigned either a taco, falafel or banh mi as inspiration, and the chefs must create an innovative and Iron Chef worthy take on these classics.
