Thank you NYC!Yesterday, we returned to New York for the second year at the one and only Institute of Culinary Education—bringing together some of the most thoughtful voices in the restaurant world for fun and inspiring conversations. We heard from Nok Suntaranon, Mashama Bailey, Santiago Lastra, Simon Kim, Buddha Lo, Missy Robbins, Hawa Hassan, David Rockwell, Jill Tyler, Tom Sietsema and more on topics ranging from rotisserie chicken pricing debates and restaurant lighting to the importance of cultural editors for cookbooks.
