A Perfectly Ducky Cooking Competition
Saturday, April 9, 2011
12 p.m. - 1 p.m.
Jimmy's No. 43
43 E. 7th St., Manhattan
Ticket purchasers will enjoy first access to a walk-around, twelve course tasting buffet, while a dozen amateur and professional cooks prepare their most creative duck dishes, using regionally produced quackers and seasonal ingredients in charcuterie and duck-dominated first and second courses. Competing cooks will be judged on: regional sourcing and seasonality of ingredients; creativity; execution; appearance; and, of course, taste.
The much coveted Golden Ducky, and other prizes, will be awarded to winning cooks. Specially offered Beverages will be available for purchase.
Proceeds from this event will benefit the Food Systems Network NYC, a project of the Fund for the City of New York. FSNYC is a not-for-profit profit, membership organization dedicated to ensuring the health and well-being of New Yorkers through access to good, wholesome, nutritious, and safe food and to supporting a strong, sustainable regional farm and food economy. FSNYC brings together regional and local stakeholders - from producers to distributors, advocates, officials, and eaters - to generate synergies that will help defeat hunger, improve health, and create a vital, regional food sector.
