Jimmy’s No. 43 is very happy to be bringing the owners of Crossroads Brewery, Janine Bennett and Kenny Landin, to town next week to talk about (and drink!) their very yummy beer. A relatively new brewery, Crossroads is located in Athens, NY, and has one of those really cool beer stories (they were looking for a place to showcase musical acts and ended up with a 15,000 square foot historic opera house, which was – of course – the perfect place for a brewery!).

And The Winner Is… Fourth Annual Cassolet Cook-Off Results And Pics!

Grab a bowl and dig into the Fourth Annual Cassoulet Cook-off to benefit Greenmarkets NYC!
Yesterday’s Cassoulet Cook-Off was an overwhelming success with lots of yummy cassoulet being served up by both professional and amateur chefs. Some things have changed a lot in four years (Jimmy noted that “We no longer have to explain to people what a cassoulet is!”) but the inventiveness of the chefs remains. Those who picked up a spoon got to try everything from a Mexican-style chicken casserole to a “Brunswick Stew” (amateur chef Adrian Ashby substituted chicken for squirrel, we’re happy to announce) to more traditional cassoulet recipes.

Top Chefs To Compete In Sunday’s Fourth Annual Cassoulet Cook-off

We love a good cassoulet, and the drop in temperature this week makes Sunday’s Cassoulet Cook-off a well timed event. Competing chefs will include:

  • Green Brown Orange’s Alejandro Alcocer, whose cafe/catering company focuses on simplicity of flavors, organic and biodynamic foods from local, seasonal farms;
  • Jessica Wilson, formerly of aVoce and Prune;
  • Hadley Schmitt of Northern Spy, the East Village Restaurant/Pub that has a menu built around seasonality and quality, whenever possible using locally grown, caught, and produced ingredients;
  • Edi and the Wolf’s Eduard Frauneder and Wolfgang Ban will bring some Austrian flare to the cassolet cook-off;
  • Phil Conlon of The Highliner Restaurant;

and, of course, Jimmy’s No. 43, which will be offering cassoulet on the menu all next week.

Amateur chefs are competing, as well. You may still join if you sign up with Danielle before Thursday (that’s in two days, so hurry!). Otherwise, tickets are $20 with proceeds to benefit the Greenmarkets’ Hurricane Farm Relief.
