Aspen Photos: First Up, Top Chef Fabio Viviani!

And I’m back from the 2009 Food and Wine Classic in Aspen! The experience was amazing to say the least, and I feel so thankful to have been a part of the premier culinary event of the year along with Average Betty.  Thank you once again to Plum Tv and Food and Wine Magazine!  We’ve so many savory stories, delicious photos and interviews to share, and here is the first palate pleaser:  Tasty Top Chef Fabio Viviani photos!

The Italian Top chef charmer showed up on our radar Saturday, and in true Fabio form was spotted chatting, hugging, and story telling with chef comrades throughout the afternoon.  Feast on this:

Fabio reunites with former competitor and Top Chef New York winner Hosea Rosenberg under the tasting tent. Wouldn’t you like to know what sweet nothings he’s whispering into Hosea’s ears?

Italy and France unite! Top Chef Fabio Viviani continues sharing his love with the legendary chef Jacques Pépin.

Coming Soon: Chef interviews on dealing with the pinches of today’s economy, musings on Michael Chiarello and his farm to fork philosophy, off the grid after hours fun with food writers, and several top 10 lists. And of course, we will be returning to the chef recipe videos soon with some fresh talent that may surprise you. Stay tuned!
