NY Times Travel Show

Today I volunteered at the NY Times Travel Show. This year's theme was Taste of the World, and the visiting chefs needed some assistants, so a bunch of students from ICE showed up today to help out. We worked NON-STOP from 10-5 today, chopping things (onions, herbs, spices, cheese), plating food, serving food and just generally running around trying to feed 150+ people out of a makeshift kitchen the size of a broom closet. The show was held in the convention center and there really wasn't an official kitchen, so one was set up in the corner, closed off by a few curtains. We really had to improvise, but it was great fun and really good experience. The most well-known visiting chef that we worked with was Paul Prudhomme. You probably know him as THE authority on New Orleans cooking and we got a bunch of great spices to take home. We also worked with a number of other chefs, food stylists and food historians. It was tiring and I've spent the evening watching the snow come down out of one eye and the Oscars out of the other.
