The International Chef's Congress is coming up in NYC.  This yearly event attracts superstars and hard working cooks from around the globe. 
This year I have been graciously awarded a press pass.  Although I like to write about food, my participation will be mostly liquid in nature. 
Star Chefs is including a cocktailian splendor this year, my friend Gary Regan will be in attendance along with Dave Wondrich- who I met in New Orleans during Tales of the Cocktail and Dave Arnold who is one of the pre-eminent mad scientists at the bar. 
Thrilling for me, to say the very least.

On top of interacting with some of the world’s top culinary talent, if you volunteer for two days, you’ll earn a complementary pass for one day of the conference!
