James Beard House event - JULY 18 at noon

So excited to be speaking on Wednesday July 18 from 12-1pm at the James Beard House in NYC. 

Please come for what will be a fun, casual, informative discussion of how some chefs like Thomas Keller, Michelle Bernstein, Cat Cora, Tom Colicchio, Eric Ripert and others spend all that time around great food, yet manage to stay fit. Hear what they really eat for breakfast, on the job, and when they are dining out. Learn their best tips for making food flavorful and light. The James Beard Foundation knows chefs, and chefs know great food -- that's who I want to take my cues from when it comes to eating well.

Here's the really great part: In addition to sharing their great ideas and taking your questions, I'll be joined by WONG chef-owner Simpson Wong, who has a dramatic story of changing his life and diet after a health crisis in his early 40s, will be on hand with some delicious samples of his signature "Asian locavore" cuisine.

I'm told there will also be chocolate. (Eat chocolate: one of my favorite "Smart Chefs" directives.)

Hope to see you there!
