Italy to the Third Power: Announcing Harry’s Chef Pop-Up No. 16 with Jeffrey Michaud of Philadelphia’s Osteria on June 18

Jeffrey Michaud

Chef Jeffrey Michaud at Barbuto last October for Lemon NYC in support of Alex’s Lemonade Stand, a charity we love to cook for at events across the country thanks to Jeff and the Vetri Family, as well as generous chef friends like Jonathan Waxman. Click here for Jeff in action, and always with a smile on his face, at past Lemon events.

We are so proud to announce that tickets are live as of this moment here for Osteria Pizzeria on June 18, when Harry’s Pizzeria plays host to yet another James Beard Award-winning chef we love to call our good friend, this time Jeffrey Michaud. Don’t be confused by the name. Osteria is Jeff’s restaurant in Philadelphia where he is partner – with the grand poobah himself Marc Vetri – and for our pizzeria’s next pop-up it will be Italy served up to the third power!  An osteria at a pizzeria, with the bonus of the inspiration Michael brings back from his trip in May to host cooking classes.  Either way, it’s all for our benefit!  We can’t wait to taste how the arrival of summer ingredients inspires this menu.

Update: Last night can’t really be summed up in a post or a picture but the tale of Michael’s big a** striped bass is shared here for your jealous enjoyment in pictures, a standout from our genuine pair last night that had its own share of paparazzi.  Thank you SO much for chef Roel who KILLED it in JW’s oven, and I do NOT mean hammered.  Beautiful fish.  Our table was a lucky one, thanks to Michael’s and Hedy’s amazing menu and for icing on the cake our Miami live auction item hollered by Mr. Tom Colicchio went for a cool $10,000! Right now we are off to lunch at Il Buco Alimentari in the lower east side, so the full evening in pictures will come later. Next stop for Alex’s? Sweet Miami Lemonade!

Well hello again, NYC! After this view of the city through BK, which we will be eating and drinking our way through later in the week (including a visit to the Brooklyn Brewery!), Michael, Hedy, and I are in a cab on the way to the Meat Packing District from JFK which means I have just enough time to post our menu for tonight’s Lemon:NYC event. Hosted by the man, chef Jonathan Waxman, with the super coordination skills of manager Jen Davidson, it all goes down at Industria Super Studio above Barbuto tonight beginning at 6:00 p.m. when a ridiculous list of chefs each take on a table of 10 to put out a four course, family-style meal to fundraise for the fight against childhood cancer. Our table will also get to enjoy ice cold bottles of Michael’s Genuine Home Brew, with the menu below. The perks of being on #teamgenuine I guess!

As we place our first order for copies of Baking Out Loud at MGFD and Harry’s to prepare for its October 2 release (just three weeks from today!), we thought you might want to check out where you can find Hedy Goldsmith previewing her first cookbook this month!  From east coast to west, Hedy is bringing her unique sweetness to a city near you.  For those of you who can’t wait to get your hands on a copy to call your own, the generous folks at Serious Eats are giving away five this week as they “Bake the Book.”  Just write what dessert you think has the biggest, boldest flavor in the comments section here.
