Go Fish LA!

In this Photo from Left to Right: Marco Truffle Brother, Antonio from Terroni, Donato Poto and Michael Cimarusti from Providence, Lucy Lean, Alain Giraud from Maison Giraud and Andrea Cavaliere from Cecconi’s/Soho House – Meeno (our amazing on board photographer extrodinaire has asked for a photo of the ‘Italians’ – which we all found highly amusing since I’m obviously not and Giraud is extremely French – but when in Rome! – and yes there were a large number of Italianos on board…

What a wonderful date out we had yesterday. Thank you to all the chefs who cam along and brought the most out of this world delicious food – were we all full as we left the boat?! Our trip raised $750 for Japan Relief.

Here are a few photos of the fun – taken by the super fabulous and ever so talented Meeno Peluce who usually spends his time photographing rock stars (Lady Gaga et al) – and for the boat trip photographed the rock stars of the kitchen. If you want to join us on the next trip be sure to check back often for more info – looking like another trip is in the works for late July/early August.
