AlwaysHolidays: On the Tenth Day of Christmas
Arthur Bovino and Maryse Chevrière — December 21, 2009
Technically, the Twelve Days of Christmas don’t start until Christmas Day, but we’re already in the spirit. To celebrate over the next two days, here’s the carol, ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ AlwaysHungry-style, featuring some dishes we tasted in 2009 that we’d be willing to sing about.
Ten Lords a Leaping. Lords/gourds (gourds include: melons, squash, pumpkins, and cucumbers). Leaping/heaping. Hey, these higher numbers get tough.
Today’s verse for this Christmas food carol begins:
On the tenth day of Christmas, my waiter brought to me… ten gourds a-heaping,
From Bobo, Chocolate Pudding.

Top, Pumpkin-Filled Ravioli. Right, Chef John DeLucie making a finishing touch.
After having a delicious plate of Pumpkin-Filled Ravioli at The Waverly Inn (view), and knowing that most people won’t be able to eat it in the restaurant, we tapped John DeLucie, executive chef and the author of ‘The Hunger,’ to demonstrate his easy to execute recipe.

HungryChefs: Chefs Dream Big
The Gluttoness — July 16, 2009
Monday night’s Chefs for Scher event brought celebrated chefs, Hollywood stars and food enthusiasts to The Bowery Hotel to honor the late restaurateur, Steve Scher. Considering his background we thought it best to direct questions towards the business side of the restaurant world.
Aside from our usual query, “What are you AlwaysHungry for?” (Matt Dillon craves Peasant, and Patsy’s in Harlem), we were curious to discover chefs’ latest and greatest aspirations. We also wanted to find out their proudest moments, but we probably should have specified culinary-related answers— though it is sweet to see how much love chefs have for their children.
John Fraser (Dovetail)
AlwaysHungry for: Dirty question. Scott Conant’s Pomodoro (right)
Next Aspiration: To get eight hours of sleep tonight.
Proudest Moment: Receiving three stars from the New York Times
John DeLucie (The Waverly Inn)
AlwaysHungry for: Pizza
Next Aspiration: Feature films
Proudest Moment: The release of my book.
AlwaysPartying: Great Gathering of Chefs
The Hungry Goat — September 26, 2008
Billed as the “largest gathering of chefs anywhere,” last night’s Great Gathering of Chefs saw many of the city’s big-name restaurants bring on a wealth of big-time flavor. The theme of the event, which benefitted The Children’s Storefront, was soup and dessert, and the grand space in the Prince George Ballroom was divided accordingly. We began our tasting on a sweet note, as it was the spread of dessert samples that first greeted us. Buddakan’s deliciously sour Concord Grape Noodles showcased innovative technique, while Olana’s Pumpkin Cheesecake perfectly encapsulated the flavors of Fall. Of the selection of savory soups at the other end of the room, Gilt impressed with a tangy Swiss Ale Cheese Soup, and Telepan’s Kielbasa and Cabbage Soup was a sophisticated take on a comfort classic.
