Let’s talk lighting 💡
David Rockwell of Rockwell Group—award-winning architect and designer—approaches lighting as the cinematographer of a space, shaping mood, memory, and experience. From NYC hotspots @cotekoreansteakhouse and @coqodaq to public spaces, theater productions and hotels, his work creates immersive atmospheres across hospitality and culture.
A glimpse into his insightful Trailblazer Talk at this year’s @thechefassembly in NYC.
A lot of legends under one roof.
On Monday, we helped bring @thechefassembly to life at @iceculinary for its second year in NYC, bringing together some of the most exciting voices in food for a day of conversation and connections.
Simon Kim, Buddha Lo, Mashama Bailey, David Rockwell, Santiago Lastra, Missy Robbins, Hawa Hassan, and more—none of it happens without @mjtraud .
We ate, we listened, we pickle-fountained. NYC, thank you. Charlotte + San Francisco up next.

Thank you NYC!
Yesterday, we returned to New York for the second year at the one and only Institute of Culinary Education—bringing together some of the most thoughtful voices in the restaurant world for fun and inspiring conversations.
We heard from Nok Suntaranon, Mashama Bailey, Santiago Lastra, Simon Kim, Buddha Lo, Missy Robbins, Hawa Hassan, David Rockwell, Jill Tyler, Tom Sietsema and more on topics ranging from rotisserie chicken pricing debates and restaurant lighting to the importance of cultural editors for cookbooks. Our cup (or pickle fountain) is full.
More soon—and huge thanks to our sponsors and community for making it happen.
This is why we do what we do.
Bringing together @kuhnnok and @chef.vijayakumar for a @kalayaphilly x @semmanyc x @mahaniyom_boston takeover was a reminder of what happens when great hospitality minds come together.
Huge thanks to @resy for making it happen.
