They’ll be “reimagining” classic Katz’s dishes — Campanaro, Telepan, Bowien will be in the kitchen (Pastrami anyone?) and pastry chef Levine preparing dessert. Dinner is served Friday, May 31st. All the proceeds go to The Henry Street Settlement.

an afternoon with joey campanaro

In preparation for “A Taste & Toast to The Central Coast”, a 7-course wine pairing & tasting dinner with Robert Mondavi Private Selections Wines, the Mondavi team follow Joey on an excursion for the freshest ingredients. Follow them through Joey’s local favorites like Union Square Market & Murray’s Cheese. Last but not least, they head to The Venue, at which Joey cooks for a special dinner for 30 guests. They enjoyed dishes like tarragon tagliatelle with Alaskan crab & jalapeno butter perfectly paired with a glass of California Meritage and coffee scented quail served with an onion salad and truffle bouillon to accompany Mondavi’s Chardonnay.

Joey Judges “Flavors of the Northwest”

Last week, Joey left NYC and headed Montana to be the guest judge at the first annual “Flavors of the Northwest” Cooking Competition at KwaTaqNuk Resort and Casino. Untitled   Joey worked alongside local judges Jennifer Brown, an instructor at Kicking Horse Culinary Arts, and Heather Knutson, the President of the Polson Chamber of Commerce. Untitled 

Four local restaurants competed led by Chef Andy Blanton of Café Kandahar, Chef Mike Slabaugh of Nickel Charlie’s, Chef Nathan Ricciardi of Ricciardi’s, and Chef Ben Jones of Blue Canyon Restaurant who rained victorious.

Both Joey & Montanians alike are hoping this competition will become a tradition.
