This past Monday, I had the opportunity to photograph the 17th Annual Feast with Famous Faces at the Lighthouse at Pier 61, Chelsea Piers, a culinary gala hosted by the Center for Hearing and Communication where top New York City chefs prepared some of their delicious signature dishes. Notable chefs that participated in this event included William Gallagher from Becco, Food Network chef Alexandra Guarnaschelli from Butter, Carmine Marletta from the Intercontinental Barclay Bar and Grill, and Dale Talde from Buddakan (who was on Top Chef’s Season 4).
That night’s best dishes included an absolutely decadent and creamy lobster bisque with warm gougères expertly prepared by Brasserie Cognac’s chef Florian Hugo, a heavenly jumbo crab cake by chef Anthony Walton from the Central Park Boathouse, Carmine’s yummy eggplant parmigiana, and a mouthwatering pork spare riblet with sweet potato bourbon mash by Hill Country.
It was a soap opera star-studded night with celebrity chair of Feast with Famous Faces, Kassie DePaiva from One Life to Live (OLTL), Michael Easton from OLTL, Bobbie Eakes from All My Children (AMC), Jamie Luner from AMC, and Alexandra Chando from As the World Turns in attendance.
