Caught up with a chef buddy last night, Jesse Jones, after judging the Cassoulet War competition sponsored by Dartagnan at Second, in NYC! He, like me, has been attending this competition for 10 of the 11 Cassoulet War years (he as a contestant, me as a judge). Not only is he a great chef, but an amazing mentor to so many young people. It was great to see him. https://www.chefjessejones.com/
