  • ANV 2010 Saturday Mens Culinary Team
    Auction Napa Valley 2010 Men’s Team Chefs Bios: Saturday Lunch at Meadowood Octavio Becerra of Palate, Los Angeles Octavio’s culinary career was inspired by a chance meeting with Chef Joachim Splichal during the summer of 1984. After that profound encounter, Splichal mentored his young protégé, first in the kitchen of Max Au Triangle restaurant in Beverly Hills, and then in France and Spain, where Splichal arranged for Becerra to work for two years in some of Europe’s two and three star Michelin restaurants. Shortly after Becerra’s return to the US, Splichal opened Patina Restaurant and Becerra again joined his mentor. Just one year later, he was named executive chef of the renowned restaurant. Together, they then opened the first of the Pinot restaurants, Pinot Bistro in Studio City, with Becerra as the executive chef and partner. Since then, Becerra has been instrumental in the success and growth of The Patina Group, playing a major part in the launches of each new restaurant. As Vice President, Chef and Co Founder of The Patina Group, Becerra supervised the daily operations of 12 of the 30 plus Patina Group restaurants. Becerra’s fingerprint on the culinary identity and brand of The Patina Group played a vital role in the evolution of The Patina Group. Becerra has also accumulated accolades from the critics. The James Beard Foundation nominated him twice for “Rising Star Chef of the Year”, he has been featured in Bon Appétit magazine, and Nations Restaurant News featured him as one of the nations “50 New Taste Makers.” After sixteen years, Becerra departed The Patina Group to pursue his own venture.

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).

    Dear Friends, The exciting, two-night event we know as ShuttleCork is in its seventh year and has earned its reputation as an exceptional event in every way. Guests know they will enjoy themselves and have access to superlative winemakers and exclusive wines, while at the same time supporting the world-class programs at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Likewise, visitors to the Nelson-Atkins know when they walk through the doors that their experience will be exceptional. This June, we bring you 30 Americans, contemporary art by many of the most important African American artists of the past four decades. In November, our visitors will discover the treasures from a royal tomb with Queen Nefertari: Eternal Egypt, an exhibition featuring one of Egypt’s greatest archaeological findings: the powerful, fascinating, and celebrated Nefertari. Exhibitions such as these would not happen if not for our generous donors! The guiding principles behind ShuttleCork were conceived and nurtured by our founding chairs Mary Bloch and Paul DeBruce. ShuttleCork 2019 welcomes Greg Maday as a co-chair; he will carry the mission forward with Mary Bloch. The event will continue to honor the brilliant idea that accomplishes two exceptional goals: raise funds to support the Nelson-Atkins, and bring a new set of enthusiasts to the museum. In the years since it began, ShuttleCork has raised more than $5 million to benefit the Nelson-Atkins, and it has been named one of the top multi-day fundraising events in the city. Most importantly, ShuttleCork has brought new friends to the museum, not simply as guests, but as instant supporters of our institution.

  • Andrew Zimmern
    5 Questions with Grant Achatz Submitted by andrew.zimmern on Tue, 09/09/2008 Alinea is part kitchen, part science lab. This highly-regarded, curious kitchen experiments with balloons, snow, fire... all with the hopes of creating innovatve dishes. Whatever the process, just ask anyone lucky enough have a bite: Grant Achatz is one hell of a chef. AndrewZimmern.com: What did you learn from the amazingly talented chefs who have mentored you over the years before you opened Alinea? Grant Achatz: I have been lucky to have a few key people take me under their wing at various points in my development. Steve Stallard was the first chef that I worked for. I credit him with giving me a great deal of confidence at a very young and essential age. His focus very European, I remember making procuitto from scratch and butchering game that he had shot on hunting trips. He would lecture me on the importance of hanging the birds, having a light touch and cooking sensibly. Thomas Keller mentored me at the French Laundry... really, he is the main one who guided me during my formative years as a young chef and I was exceptionally fortunate to have him as a teacher. Chef Keller leads by example and more than any technique, recipe, or dish, I learned that it takes incredible commitment, time, and passion to get things right. I truly learned how to season food from him. He is the one whom I credit fully understanding food and the experience of dining can be emotional and therefore art.
