It was a revel, all right: this Monday night, about 100 journalists, tradespeople and friends gathered at the Italian Trade Center in New York City to celebrate the re-launch of the ROSENGARTEN REPORT. The theme followed the issue’s lead story, Best Importers of Italian Food in America; the principals of Gustiamo (New York) and Manicaretti (San Francisco) were there, as was a representative of our third top importer, Ritrovo (Seattle). Samples of 25 different products were served (the best of the best!), and a downstairs kitchen turned out three of the brand-new recipes that appear in the Dec. 15, 2014 ROSENGARTEN REPORT. The issue has six more big stories (including the Battle of Vindaloo!), and is available for subscription right here on the davidrosengarten.com web site.
We are still cleaning up—and will be for days!—so here’s our best effort today: a photo essay from the party!
Oh yes, we are all also heavily at work on Issue #2, to be published on March 15, 2015: the best charcuterie in America, what you need to know about Japanese knives, the coming BIG THING in global chocolate, and much, much more.
