Happy 10th Anniversary Jacques Torres Chocolate

Dec 21, 2010 | From the kitchen of Rose

What a party! For me it was a "this is your life" sort of experience. Here's a quick rundown of a few of the old friends in the huge crowd that come to mind: Chef André Soltner and wife Simone (formerly of Lutèce), Chef Alain Saillac (of FCI) and wife Arelene Feltman (formerly of DeGustabus), Ariane Daguiin (D'Artagnon), cake decorators par excellence Ron Ben Israel and Margaret Braun, Pam Carpentier (Parade Magazine) Chris Toury (of the peanut butter ingots in RHC and now working for Jacques).

The food was absolutely delectable, from the extensive cheese bar, to little porcelain spoons of boeuf bourguignon, plates of smoked salmon, salmon pastrami, two caviars, and exquisite rilletes of salmon. But the highlight, of course, was massive chocolate and pastry displays.

I didn't manage to get a good photo of Jacques on my cell phone but here's a fun one of the professional photographer photographing him!
