This is Fabio Viviani of Top Chef fame.  Great cook and charismatic chef to boot.  Tonight we had dinner with him in the Top Chef kitchen accompanied by fellow Top Chef , Antonia Lofaso.  Their menus were fabulous and we each both chose the other chef’s menu so we could taste both together.  Fabio and Antonia prepped all the food while a mass of sous chefs  plated everything to give Fabio and Antonia time to mix with their guests chatting and having photos taken.

We were going to watch them cook but good old Hurricane Sandy put a stop to that and so tonight’s event was purely a set menu which we sat, enjoyed and had the opportunity to talk to them both about .  Had a fantastic night and such a bonus to meet the celebrity chefs we (Ingrid) watch on Bravo TV each season.

Great experience.
