On Wednesday, October 15th on the occasion of the paperback release of FROM SCRATCH: THE UNCENSORED HISTORY OF THE FOOD NETWORK, Allen Salkin will be speaking with acclaimed author and TV personality (who is featured in Salkin’s book), David Rosengarten on the relaunch of his beloved Rosengarten Report, sharing stories from the hottest kitchens–to hottest TV studios. Their dialogue will be moderated by Ideasmyth’s Creatrix-in-Chief Victoria C. Rowan, who will pepper these two for more insider info than could fit into the book–and there are sure to be surprise tasty bits not listed on the menu. The Manny Cantor Center rooftop’s breathtaking view is a fittingly glamorous venue to sample Louis Royer’s (kosher!) cognac and other delightful refreshments.
