12 days of christmas: williams… (2019)
– I first heard of Brady Williams when he was hired to become the head chef at Canlis in spring of 2015. And since then, he has catapulted into the national spotlight as a rising star (twice a finalist in the Rising Star category for the James Beard Foundation Awards, and winning the James Beard […]

12 days of christmas: nørregaard… (2019)
– I first ate at kadeau in Copenhagen in early 2013. What I loved about it then was how simple, delicious, and straightforward the food was compared to the New Nordic zeitgeist at the time. Chef Nicolai Nørregaard showcased the flora and fauna of Scandinavia without veering into the bizarre. Although I haven’t followed chef […]

12 days of christmas: chan… (2019)
– I was wrong about Jeremy Chan and his cooking. When I first heard about his restaurant Ikoyi near Piccadilly in London, friends described the food as West African. Not having much experience with West African cooking, I couldn’t say whether it was or wasn’t. Some of the food that I had there seemed West African (there […]

12 days of christmas: park… (2019)
– If there was one guest chef who seemed to draw the most enthusiastic diners this year, it was the affable Junghyun Park. Born and raised in South Korea, Park arrived in New York in 2012 to work at the then newly opened Jungsik before splitting off to open his own restaurants. Now he’s the […]

12 days of christmas: avillez… (2019)
– The Portuguese empire spanned the globe, from Brazil through southern Africa all the way to the warm waters of the South China Sea, where it held the last European colony in Asia until 1999, when it relinquished Macau to China. To understand Portuguese cuisine today, is to understand the trading routes that made the […]

12 days of christmas: calvert… (2019)
– Each night of the Twelve Days of Christmas at The Restaurant at Meadowood, hosting chef Christopher Kostow writes a personal note about that night’s guest chef, which is printed with the menu. His note for Daniel Calvert, who cooked on the third night, was far more eloquent, precise, and personal than anything I could muster, […]

12 days of christmas: shieldses… (2019)
– In April of 2011, my friends and I arrived in the sleepy town of Chilhowie, Virginia. We had driven eight hours from Charleston to eat at John and Karen Shieldses’ restaurant Town House. The meal was as exciting and delicious as I had heard, and it was the beginning of a friendship that would […]

12 days of christmas: camara… (2019)
– I remember the first time I met Gabriela Camara. My friends and I were standing on the sidewalk outside of her new restaurant Contramar in Mexico City. The sun was bright, the sky was clear, and spirits were high. Yet Camara managed to outshine all of it with her colorful entrance. Mexican by birth, […]

– The email I hope to get each year finally arrived. Christopher Kostow and The Restaurant at Meadowood will be hosting its eleventh annual Twelve Days of Christmas, which will benefit the St. Helena Preschool for All. And for the seventh year, I’m the lucky guy who gets to go to Napa Valley in December […]

favorites of 2018: the restaurant edition…
– Last year, I got pretty worked up about an insultingly bad meal I had in 2017. This year I have no barns to burn; only good news to share.
