De Bon Coeur

Here are the pictures from our trip to Otafuku, the takoyaki place.

In addition, some of us (I’d say about half of the club) went to The Meatball Shop recently, and it was delicious and a huge success!

As you all know, the ICE event was postponed and we will update you when we find out when a representative will be coming to Tech to speak with us. The event is posted on our Facebook page, so be sure to join it!

We also welcome any new food suggestions in NYC or any events you think we should do.

Enjoy the rest of your spring break!

Just a few reminders:

When we come back on Thursday, March 1st, we will be going to Otafuku. Click here for the Yelp page. Let’s meet at the Dekalb Station after 9th period in front of Applebee’s. We will be heading out at 3:30 PM like last time for Empire Cake.

The guest speaker from the Institute of Culinary Education will be coming to Tech to speak with us on April 5th. There are about 30-40 spots available and we will let you know more about this when the date approaches.

Let us know if you are interested in both events!

Here’s a run-down of what happened during today’s meeting:

• Institute of Culinary Education- Ms. Barone discussed this with us today and she will see if she can have a guest speaker to talk about careers in culinary arts with us. There is more information to come, but if we do have this event, there will be a limited amount of spots for those who are interested in pursuing a career in the culinary field.
• Carnival- We will be registering for a booth at the SGO-hosted carnival and selling snacks such as popcorn and baked goods. We will be needing volunteers for this event and part of the amount of money that we fundraise will go back to our club (a.k.a. you).
• Discussed plans for next NYC event. See Facebook poll.
• Here’s what I found from The New York Times‘ Dining Calendar:

Dorie Greenspan and her son, Josh, will sell their cookies at a pop-up bar in Mizu Salon, 505 Park Avenue (58th Street), Monday through Feb. 10, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sweet cookies are $2 to $3 each; savory varieties, meant to be served with wine and Champagne, are $10 for 15.

• Yearbook pictures- See Facebook group for updates and details.

Hi everyone! I hope you enjoyed the cakes.

Here’s a recap of the event from Vivian Macaron.

Be sure to check out the photos on our Flickr page. If you took pictures, share them with us on the group page!

Have a great three-day weekend and Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

• I came across a post about the 5th annual Choice Eats hosted by The Voice.
• If you would like to participate in a sweet Dylan’s Candy Bar giveaway, check out NYC, Style & a little Cannoli.
• There’s also a Killed by Dessert event at Momofuku Milk Bar in Brooklyn, where pastry chefs are fundraising for Share Our Strength.
• And there’s a delicious chocolate mint tart from Dessert First that looks amazing to eat.

Thank you everyone for the successful holiday party! We will resume our club meetings after the vacation ends (on January 5, 2012).

Have a happy holiday and wonderful new year!
