The Food: David Chang's and C Tosi's creations were available for complementing the champagnes, and we ate community style – we had kimchi, a falafel bun, roasted rice cakes with pork sausage and Chinese broccoli, a sliced hanger steak wrapped in Bibb lettuce (from McGee Farms in Ontario), a whole speckled trout fried and breaded with shrimp and smoked milk (also Ontario), and brussels sprouts with fish sauce. Crack pie (sugar pie on oat cookie dough) completed the meal.
