it was a big week in new york for #thecheekychef with my #warehousebreakin San Giuseppe pop-up dinner at @Gustiamo and a 50-person dinner soirée with @swissmiss at @theinvisibledog.
i am so grateful for the support of a killer #teamCHEEKY in the kitchen + a special collaboration with @brianquinn hustling at the bar. @SwissMiss had the idea of hosting a very special dinner for @kiwimonk to celebrate the end of his time working @creativemorning and @tattly. While I usually cook dinner for 8 guests in Tina's home, sometimes we shake it up a bit... she wanted a dinner for 50 people in an art space without a kitchen but with a few MacGyver moves, some prep tables and a 6-burner rental stove with huge 50-lb gas tank, we successfully set up a make-shift cucina situated between a freight elevator and an amazing art installation by @ian_trask.
*Katie June Burton @KatieFresca sealed the deal by generously shooting the dinner (in a little cheeky/fresca barter) and she shared these beautiful photos with us. Now it's time to pack up my bags for #CHEEKYtravel and head out of town for a few weeks.
