Fergus Henderson Crosses the Pond

Fergus Henderson, the chef that taught us about eating The Whole Beast, is back at it. The head chef of St. John in London has written a new book, Beyond Nose to Tail . . . , and to celebrate its release, Henderson is having himself a little book party at The Spotted Pig. If you're expecting passed hors d'oeuvres and frilly drinks, think again. A Little Birdy tells us, "Fergus is having his book party at the Spotted Pig on October 10. The night will have him as the head chef of the Spotted Pig, cooking up whatever types of animals he can find at the butcher that day. Not only that, April B will be his line cook for the night." Hmmm. "Whatever kind of meat" is a dangerous thing with this guy Fergus. Ox heart? Pig tails? Most def. The man has and will cook almost anything. We suggest making your reservations now if you want to enjoy this once in a blue moon event. If they took reservations.

UPDATE: Like some other people we know, our Monday morning reading comprehension is a bit off. Fortunately, ours was a simple mistake and not a sign of plain stupidity. Fergus's book party is 10/8 at the Spotted Pig. He will be cooking at the Pig on 10/8. DBTH apologizes for the mistake.
