Missed the James Beard Foundation's Chefs & Champagne event on Saturday? Eater was there, of course, and has a full report: Although Emeril Lagasse was the marquee star at the event, it was Marcus Samuelsson, "dapper in a straw hat, [who] seemed to be a bigger draw with the paying customers." Let this be a lesson: Being friendly and charming wins over a crowd every time! [Eater NY]
