I’ve returned from the Cooking for Solutions event at Monterey Bay Aquarium. By all accounts our eco-label panel was a success. As far as which celebrity chefs I actually met (defined as had a real face to face conversation with them, besides when they were just serving me food), here’s the list: Carla Hall (of Top Chef fame), Peter Pahk (Kingsmill Resort), Nathan Lyon (host of Growing A Greener World on PBS), Cindy Pawlcyn (Mustards Grill), Regina Charboneau (Inn at Twin Oaks), Anthony Lamas (Seviche) and of course of Vermont’s very own Eric Warnstedt of Hen of the Wood in Waterbury. In addition to the great food being presented, it was great to meet so many members of the media interested in sustainable food issues. And finally, Monterey Bay Aquarium really put on a first class event.
