Recap: The Young and Hungry Launch Party

July 3, 2009


The Young and Hungry

We apologize for the delayed reaction, but as Blackbook happily pointed out, some of us had a bit too much to drink at our launch party this past Tuesday. Though YAH has been up and running since February, we thought it was finally time to celebrate.  Hosted at Frankie's loft in Soho, the party was a massive success, thanks in large part to our fantastic food sponsors.  Snack foods included a cheese plate from fellow food blogger Jenn de La Vega and cajun boiled peanuts from Catherine Connell. Guests sipped on wine from In Vino and homemade beer from Kayne Konecny.  The females present instantly fell in love with the guys behind The Brooklyn Salsa Company.

 

Mac N Cheese and fried chicken from Mama's was destroyed in approximately five minutes. JoeDoe dished out their superb Veev Cured Scallops, paired with Jill's famous "Smokey Joe" cocktail made with DH Krahn's gin.  Ending on a sweet note, reigning dessert trucks Van Leeuwen Artistan Ice Cream and The Cupcake Stop impressed all with their respective delicacies. Special thanks to Hannah Heinrich (email her at hannah.heinrich@gmail.com) for taking these stellar photos.
