After arriving in New Orleans, getting to know our new team and touring the areas of both rebuilding and devastation…we dined like New Orleans http://www.magliettedacalcioit.com aristocracy this evening. Ms. Leah Chase is once again commander of her kitchen and doing her thing like never before. We started off on the right foot, with mint juleps the color of spring grass – sweet and refreshing, a perfect jet-lag antidote.

Then we had crab soup (spot-on seasoning and spice) followed by crab cakes followed by chicken a la dooky followed by veal followed by shrimp and mushrooms followed by cornbread followed by sweet potatoes (so very SWEET) followed by collards followed by lemon meringue pie. Did I mention wine? And garlicky hunks of bread? And coffee?

Not just a meal to remember. A piece of restaurant history never to forget. The Chase’s have spent two long years rebuilding their dream exactly the way they Magliette Calcio A Poco Prezzo have it etched in their heart. We were honored to be one of their first guests.

CulinaryCorps could not have wished for a better way to kick start the third trip of the year. Ms. Chase, her entire family and her devoted staff epitomize our vision – that those who love and are invested in the community’s food rank among its most prized leaders.

We wish Ms. Chase and everyone involved with bringing Dooky Chase into its current state of splendor a most fortuitous re-opening. We’re excited to predict the sparkle in everyone’s eyes when they see the soulful space and the grins on everyone’s faces when their forks hits their lips.

Less than two days before our third group of volunteer culinary professionals joins forces in New Orleans. Once again we have an incredible group coming along. From food editors to yacht Cheap NFL Jerseys chefs, bakers to chef instructors…the diversity will be our greatest asset.

In an effort to keep our readers informed, CulinaryCorps.org has decided to chronicle each day of the trip complete with pictures. So stop by as often as you can to get a behind the scenes glimpse of CulinaryCorps in action!

That is the mantra of Dirty Coast – graphic gurus and generous t-shirt sponsors of our upcoming trip. We fell in love with a maglie calcio poco prezzo couple of their food-related tees. We think you will too!

Thanks to those of you who stopped by to try one of our Iced Cafe Au Laits! We hope that everyone fell as hard for the Cool Brew concentrate/ Ronnybrook milk duo as we did.

And huge thanks to our tremendous booth volunteers who spent from dawn until dusk slinging our caffeine concoctions.

In the end, the day’s work helped to not only raise maglie calcio poco prezzo funds for the organization but raise awareness about CulinaryCorps’ efforts in New Orleans. Thanks to all who helped make the booth a reality…and to those who bought a cup or two at the concert!

CulinaryCorps is proud to be a part of this year’s Farm Aid concert, Sunday, September 9th on Randall’s Island here in New York City.

We’ll be selling New Orleans Iced Cafe au Lait to the over 35,000 concert goers at our very own CulinaryCorps vending booth! All proceeds from the sales will go towards our two upcoming outreach trips to New Orleans.

We could not have even imagined pulling off this exciting endeavor without the help of our incredible sponsors, Cool Brew and Ronnybrook Farm Dairy. Both companies have gone above and beyond to ensure that this booth will be a success and we cannot thank them enough.

It has been amazing to watch CulinaryCorps alumni continue to make strides long-after they have returned home from their trip.

March participants and long-time Manhattan residents, Angela S. and April N., have recently moved to New Orleans after falling hard for the magical city during their CulinaryCorps tenure. April recently nabbed a position working with NOLA Edible Schoolyard while Angela will be reporting each day to Emeril’s Homebase as the newest edition to their test kitchen team. By weaving themselves into the fabric of the community, they hope to become an integral part of the city’s rebirth. We wish them luck and look forward to catching up over Sazeracs in September.

Another March participant, Amy T., has proved that good will can be executed from afar as her recent fundraising effort in Coshocton, Ohio raised $475 for Emergency Communities. She successfully converted the bake sale donations into gift certificates to The Cresecent City Farmers Market, allowing EC to fill their larder with farm fresh foods as well as support an important aspect of their local economy. Special thanks to Auer Ace Hardware, The Coshocton Brown’s Backers and all the generous bakers who donated their time and goods.

It has been said that ideas are many but http://www.oakleyonorder.com/ execution is precious. These three amazing cooks have proven that when your heart backs your actions, good things will follow. Thanks to Angela, April and Amy for their commitment to CulinaryCorps, and more importantly, their tremendous dedication to New Orleans.
