Snapshots from Korea: The O-Il Jang (Five Day Market) on Jeju Island
During the filming of PBS's The Kimchi Chronicles, renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and his wife, Marja, visited one of the several O-Il Jang (5 Day Market) on Jeju-do, the provincial island off of the southern coast of the Korean peninsula. According to the producer of The Kimchi Chronicles Eric Rhee, Vongerichten was so inspired by the market that he halted the shooting schedule, bought everything in sight, commandeered the kitchen of a local hotel, and cooked an impromptu multi-course meal for the film crew and hotel staff.Jean-Georges Vongerichten Looking to Create Haute Cuisine Chain with 'Reach of McDonald's'
Fortune magazine reports that Jean-Georges Vongerichten and his business partner are teaming up with Starwood Hotels and a private equity firm behind Outback Steakhouse, with plans to open 50 new restaurants in five years. "... Culinary Concepts by Jean-Georges plans to conquer the world with three main prototypes: Market, J&G Steakhouse, and Spice Market, a standalone restaurant that pays homage to Asian street food." [via Big B]...Jean-Georges Will Open 30 to 50 Restaurants at Starwood Hotels
jeangeorges.blogspot.com Jean-Georges Vongerichten has long been a heavyweight in the culinary world, but now he's out to globally conquer the greater hospitality industry. The Michelin-starred chef has signed a deal with Starwood Hotels to open between 30 and 50 Jean-Georges-branded hotel restaurants within five years, with ten locations at Starwood brands opening by the end of this year. The additions will not be straight-up copies of current JGV restaurants, and menus will change quarterly. Top chefs partnering with luxury hotels is not new. Gordon Ramsay's not just in London but on both coasts of the U.S., and Masaharu Morimoto and Alfred Portale have their sights set on Florida. Though Vegas has long been a goldmine for celebrity chefs squeezing in...Cook the Book: Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges
In a culinary world filled with people cooking "con-fusion" food it's good to be reminded how good fusion cooking can be in the right chef's hands.

Included in the book are 175 recipes, including some of Jean-George's signature dishes from Vong and Spice Market. Thanks to the good folks at Broadway Books we're giving away five (5) copies of Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges. Just tell us what your favorite Asian noodle or rice dish is.

Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten has started a blog to promote his new cookbook, Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges, featuring recipes from restaurants Spice Market, Vong, and 66. He's only two blog posts in, and I suspect he won't keep it up for long, but so far, so good. How else would I have learned about cooking with a CVap?...Molten Chocolate Cake Recipes
The photo from TeamSugar's recipe for molten chocolate cakes with fresh whipped cream is killing me; the recipe itself, not so much. I do love the teeny little wax paper cups haze1nut chose to bake the cakes in, they're a great idea and I wouldn't mind it if they caught on—but if you're going to make molten chocolate cakes why not use the original recipe from Jean-Georges Vongerichten himself? (If you're not feeling JGV, Chowhound bakers pointed to their favorite recipes on Epicurious a few months ago, they all sound just as delicious.)...LIVE: The James Beard Awards
