New York Taste brought together dozens of chefs at the Waterfront (The Tunnel Building) to help celebrate New York Taste Presented by Citi 2015. The reason, of course, is that they were there to cook up a storm for the attendees and just generally have a great time. Laurent Tourondel served pasta out of an entire hulking wheel of Parmigiano-Reggiano. Justin Smillie kept it simple with some first-class crudo. The Cecil’s JJ Johnson showed up with some serious goat dumplings. And the Gramercy Tavern team brought it with — no joke — milk and cookies.

And, when you’re bringing 40 of the city – and the world’s – best chefs together, its important they arrive on time and in style. Thats why our VIP chefs were each given a complimentary ride in a new 2016 Jaguar XJ, most commanding of all Jaguar cars, combining a dynamic driving experience with luxurious interior styling.
