Hayground Chefs Dinner Honors Jon Snow

After master French chef Éric Ripert paid homage to New York Times Food and Wine Writer Florence Fabricant at the cocktail hour of the Hayground Chefs Dinner, we asked which of the hors d’oeuvres she had fancied. Of course, she liked the Pork Tostados, but what really caught her interest was the New York State Steelhead Trout that Abigail’s Kitchen on Greenwich Village’s MacDougal Street was doling out. “I never eat anything but Pacific Wild Salmon,” she told us. “But, these seem to be really farmed correctly. They know what they’re doing.”
