Starry eyed in Philly


I was supposed to go to a dinner Tuesday night for New York Times Food Columnist Florence Fabricant hosted by Philadelphia restaurateur Stephen Starr. (Pictured above.)

And now, I'm really sorry I had to miss this event at The Residences at Two Liberty Place.

Fabricant, who just wrote the gourmet cookbook, "Park Avenue Potluck," presented tips for elegant entertaining followed by an tasting of the latest culinary creations from Starr's crew.
Hors d'oeuvres included pairings of champagne with ostera caviar, morel mushrooms and caramelized onion tarts and beef tenderloin with watercress and horseradish cream. Dessert included miniature lemon and huckleberry tarts and chocolate ganache tarts with coco nibs.
