I can’t begin to describe how much of a good time I had at this year’s inaugural Austin Food & Wine Festival. The awesome food, music, and Texas characters were great to be a part of. One of my favorite aspects was also seeing Food Republic there in their W Austin test kitchen and interview lounge. They caught up with some of my good friends, like Andrew Zimmern and Tim Love.
I even sat down with Tim for an extended talk about BBQ, food cultures, and traditions in our restaurants. Check out the video of our interview below and for more Austin Food & Wine Festival coverage, check out Food Republic here. [click to continue…]

This year, Austin will be hosting it’s first-ever Wine & Food Festival and I’m so excited to be a part of it. Austin is really coming into its own as a great new food destination. It’s already home to South by Southwest (SXSW) and the hub for new up-and-coming bands and art movements, so it’s exciting to see the numerous food styles and trends that are also drawing in the crowds. I can’t wait to see all the crowds this weekend at the Austin Wine & Food Fest and even more excited to check out what the city has to offer.
Food Republic will also be joining in on the fun this weekend at the festival and the best part is that the W Austin has offered up some space at TRACE for a Food Republic Test Kitchen. You can stay tuned to their Instagram for up-to-the-minute food photos and interview highlights.
What’s even more generous is that W Austin is also giving you the opportunity to experience your own foodie weekend in Austin, too! They’re giving away a getaway package for 2 for a weekend of food, drink and fun in Austin, Texas. [click to continue…]
Last night, Ginny’s Supper Club was happy to host Food Republic and Beefeater 24 as they celebrated their Getting Pissed in London Week. Beefeater 24 provided the cocktails while we served up some British-inspired food like Bangers and Mash, Fish and Chips, and Oxtail Marmalade.
This week, Food Republic is featuring stories dedicated to getting pissed in London—as in, a tribute to drinking (and eating) really well within the city limits, in the secret underground cocktail lairs and the suave, globetrotter-packed hotel bars and the historical neighborhood pubs.

This week Food Republic has a guest editor and it is none other than renowned chef and food activist Michel Nischan of Dressing Room in Westport, Connecticut. As co-founder, CEO and President of Wholesome Wave Foundation, which helps improve the accessibility and affordability of healthful, locally grown fruits and vegetables in food deserts, Michel was the perfect fit for guest editor of Food Republic’s Food Political section.
While many chefs are recently jumping on the local and green bandwagon, Nischan has been known for leading this movement ages ago. As Food Republic Editorial Director explains through an interview with Michel, his first exposure to healthy fresh food was through his mother’s kitchen [click to continue…]

Last Friday, Food Republic joined me at the House of Imagination as the House of Bombay launched a new spirit for the first time in twenty-five years- Bombay Sapphire East. This alluring new liquor took center stage as Food Republic guests filled the stand alone townhouse on Hudson Street appropriately named for the night, the House of Imagination.
Each room in this three-story house was ornately decorated in period pieces and was the ideal setting for a swank cocktail party for the young party crowd. Masseuses offered free mini-massages while others guests enjoyed food from my restaurant Red Rooster Harlem and specialty cocktails made from Bombay Sapphire East. [click to continue…]
