Behind the Scenes at Tasting Table’s Test Kitchen & Dining Room

Tasting Table Test Kitchen

About a week or so ago I had the fantastic opportunity to attend the Tasting Table’s Test Kitchen and Dining Room Grand Opening in Soho. It was a spectacular event sponsored by Jenn-Air and a grand loft space furnished to the hilt with a working test kitchen, dining room, lounge area and a wet bar.

Built by designers Eric Cheong & Loren Daye, Tribeca Builders, Lefroy Brooks and City Foundry, these talented designers and contractors helped bring Tasting Table’s amazing new cooking and entertaining space to life!

The space was furnished with top of the line appliances, cookware, kitchen tools and tabletop accessories, outfitted by only the top kitchen and cooking brands such as Jenn-Air, Le Creuset, Revol, Oneida Ltd., Wusthof, OXO, Polyscience, KitchenAid, Magimix by Robot-Coupe, iSi, Whole Foods and Vitamix – making it a dream kitchen and entertaining space for Tasting Table and all of us that attended.

I had the opportunity to meet Geoff Bartakovics, CEO of Tasting Table, as well as Steve Brown, the GM for Jenn-Air along with staff and agency partners for both. We were served tantalizing St. Germain cocktails, wine and a full spread of delicious hors d’oeuvres as we mingled and enjoyed the party in this outrageously gorgeous space.

I especially enjoyed hanging out with my foodie friends Rachel Barbarotta (The Fabulous Foodie) and Megan Murphy (This Girl Can Eat)!

It was a fabulous evening in Soho (on Fashion’s Night Out to top it off!) and thanks to everyone at Tasting Table and Jenn-Air for sponsoring a gorgeous event and even more gorgeous space for all that attended to enjoy and aspire towards! (If only my tiny NYC kitchen were even half the size!)
