James Kent and the cool cats from Eleven Madison Park are working with Caviar Malossol at the welcome reception here in the lobby just after the red carpet. Wish you all could be here to smell what I'm smelling. Kevin Binkley from Arizona is putting the finishing touches on a bacon-leek-tomato-scallop soup, and Eric Klein from the Spago outpost in Vegas is doing rice cakes with fish and cucumber salad. I love watching these guys work.
