By Paul J. Cohn, Chair Emeritus of the Restaurant Association of Maryland Washington (RAMW)

"It's not who you know, it's Whom You Know and Peachy Deegan and I were recommended to each other by another Washington DC entrepreneur and we had a terrific positive experience with her first review of Boss Shepherd's in the Warner Theatre in 2015 where I was awarded Peachy's Picks status after our first meeting, and enjoyed further accolades that we earned in 2016 when we reunited. The cream does rise to the top and the best of the best often know each other and we discovered we had a mutual friend in Charles Kipps (Hustle!), as I was the manager for Peaches and Herb and I like that Peachy covers music and in particular the Recording Academy in New York Notes (over 1,000 music posts to date) and I loved her coverage of the Beatles AI release last fall, Now and Then. Peachy's superlative style of writing and winning personality make Whom You Know the success it has been and will continue to be, and I have been pleased to recommend her to entrepreneurs I know."

-Paul J. Cohn, Chair Emeritus of the Resturant Association of Maryland Washington (RAMW)

#WhomYouKnow 's #TOPTEN #Reasons to go to the Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival 2024 experience

-in no particular order-

1. Kind of Wild with Katie Lee and Adam Sager (Adam not pictured)

Peachy Deegan and Katie Lee

We loved this wine!  And, this is the second time we've met Katie-we met her at another event many years ago and when Peachy finds the first picture of them together, she'll publish it. 

2. Hampton Water with Jesse Bongiovi and Dom Alcocer (not pictured)

We loved this wine from the South of France!  And we figuratively see the world through rose-colored glasses so now we can do it literally too.  Note Jesse is a Notre Dame grad we believe, so maybe we can get him to bet with us on the Holy War like we did with Regis Philbin.

3. Still Gin, Gin and Juice by Dr. Dre and Snoop

Obviously, if you are sipping on Gin and Juice, this is who you should be doing it with.

Here's Peachy with Liz Pucci! We were equally delighted to meet Courtney Pursino.  Watch Snoop on The Voice!!!

4. Le Rivage, a Peachy's Pick!!!!

5. The NYC Ferry, so much better than the MTA

And they are bilingual in French, the second language of Whom You Know...see Le Rivage

6. The EU GEM HAM Prosciutto di Carpegna PDO 

In case you haven't read our 29,000 plus other posts, you should be aware that Italy as a country is dominant in quality and this is a new hit we hope to explore more

7. Delallo since 1950 with Yong Cho, Olives and more stay tuned! Plus we love Fairway, a superior grocery store.

8. Chuzo Culture with Joel Moscoso, Master Griller and their delicious Ecuadorian chicken. Brooklyn is still mostly a foreign country to us but so far so great with this brand, stay tuned

9. Obviously we live for the Fireworks and the Thanksgiving Day Parade, and Macy's has one more hit with David Hansel with Peachy and Marina Aleksic at Stella Trattoria (not pictured)

10. Perdue, obviously because of Mover and Shaker Mitzi! Also we do like the chicken, but Mitzi more.

#NHLPeachy #PeachysPetPals @NYIslanders @NYIslesPup Islanders Fans Votes Are In, The Fifth New York Islanders’ Puppy With a Purpose® Will Be Named “Butchie”

New York Islanders partner with Guide Dog Foundation to raise and train Butchie

 The Guide Dog Foundation, a New York based-non-profit that provides guide dogs to individuals who are blind or visually impaired, is thrilled to partner again with the New York Islanders in their “Puppy With a Purpose®” program to train future guide dog, “Butchie.”

On October 4th, during the Islanders' final pre-season game at UBS Arena, fans were introduced to Butchie, an adorable 12-week-old male yellow Labrador puppy. Over the past week, Islanders fans participated in a special vote to name the pup, and the winning name, "Butchie," pays tribute to Islanders legend and four-time Stanley Cup champion, Butch Goring.

Butchie, will undergo basic training and socialization with the Islanders’ staff, fans and public for the next 14-16 months. The Islanders will host Butchie at community events and select home games to assist in raising him to be a confident and calm future guide dog. Fans can follow Butchie on Instagram at @NYIslesPup to stay up to date on his training and local appearances.

Following his puppy raising, Butchie will return to the Guide Dog Foundation’s campus in Smithtown, NY to begin his formal guide dog training. Concluding his training, Butchie will be matched at no cost with an individual who is blind or visually impaired.

Butchie can be seen in the highly anticipated 'Pucks and Paws 2025' calendar, which supports the Guide Dog Foundation. Just in time for Black Friday shopping, the calendar will be available for purchase online through the Islanders' website and at home games.

"We are incredibly proud to continue our partnership with the New York Islanders, the team that started our Puppy With a Purpose® program in professional sports," said John Miller, President and CEO of the Guide Dog Foundation. "Having the opportunity to work with the Islanders to raise a fifth future assistance dog truly shows the commitment that the organization has to giving back to the community. From ownership to coaches, players, and fans—our journey with the Islanders has been remarkable and we are excited to watch Butchie grow and ultimately change the life of someone who is blind or has low vision.”

In September, Jethro, the Islanders’ fourth assistance dog, returned to America’s VetDogs in Smithtown, NY to begin formal training as a service dog for a veteran or first responder with disabilities. Monte, the third team pup was placed as a guide dog with Long Island native Tom Ryan in the summer of 2023.

It costs more than $50,000 to breed, raise, train, and place one assistance dog; however, all Guide Dog Foundation services are provided at no charge to the individual. Funding comes from the generosity of individuals, corporations, and service and fraternal clubs. Learn more by visiting GuideDog.org.

ABOUT GUIDE DOG FOUNDATION

For more than 75 years, the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind, Inc. (www.GuideDog.org), has trained and placed guide and service dogs to provide independence, enhanced mobility, and companionship to people who are blind, have low vision, or have other special needs. The Guide Dog Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization serving clients from across the United States and Canada. The Foundation relies on contributions from generous individuals, corporations, service clubs, and foundations to fund its mission to serve people with disabilities. It costs over $50,000 to breed, raise, train, and place one assistance dog, but the Guide Dog Foundation provides its services completely free of charge to the individual. Its sister organization, America’s VetDogs, trains and provides guide, service, and hearing dogs for disabled veterans and first responders. The Guide Dog Foundation was the first assistance dog school in the United States to be accredited by both the International Guide Dog Federation and Assistance Dogs International.

By John D'Orazio, Owner of The John D'Orazio Salon

"JOHN D’ORAZIO SALON and the team enjoyed working with Peachy Deegan.  Our friendship began 2018 when Peachy's editorial captured the details of my wonderful career journey.  Peachy describes my childhood as a stylist in my parents' Brooklyn Hair Salon, my first job at Kenneth Salon, Pierre Michel Suga and the opening of one of my first Salons. Peachy's hair coloring is very important; Jackie Onassis was a client of Thomas Morrissey who colored Peachy's hair with the utmost attention to detail. Peachy's hair coloring was always created for the seasons that brought her hair into the top level of quality, that she describes so beautifully.  Thank you Peachy from John D'Orazio Salon."

#PeachysPicks #AmmosEstiatorio @AmmosNewYork by #DimitrisNakos Introducing #OmakaseRoom by #TabBu Discover the Art of Omakase Join Us Every Thursday & Friday Evening for an Exquisite Culinary Adventure at Ammos! COMING ON OCTOBER 24 at 52 Vanderbilt Avenue Just West of Grand Central Terminal

Dimitris Nakos, Founder and Owner of Ammos Estiatorio, Tab Bu, Executive Omakase Chef and Ammos Enthusiast Steve Kivel, Owner of Grand Central Watch

Sustainable bluefin tuna, Akami, Peachy Deegan's favorite course

It's never been who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we know DIMITRIS NAKOS and his brainchild, AMMOS ESTIATORIO, a Peachy's Pick Since 2011.  We've published on restaurants well over a thousand times in the last fifteen years, and the cream rises to the top.  Ammos has earned accolades time and time again for their superior authentic Greek cuisine, imagined by Dimitris himself, an Athens native.  Well, what do the best of the best do?  They get better and innovate: to that end, please meet Omakase Room by Tab Bu, exclusively at Ammos Estiatorio.

 Tab Bu came to New York in 1999 from Burma and tells us he has over two decades of sushi experience, and as you go on this culinary adventure, it will be evident to your tastebuds.  Each course is extremely targeted, detailed and nuanced in its own right and this experience will appeal to both the sophisticate and the novice, as it is equally elevated and inviting. 

Tab Bu and his brother Wayne

Discover the Art of Omakase

Join Us Every Thursday & Friday Evening for an Exquisite Culinary Adventure at Ammos!

COMING ON OCTOBER 24

5:30pm to 7pm

7:30pm to 9pm

We were honored to be among the first to try this exclusive new Ammos innovation, and this is the order in which it happens and exactly what we had.  First, Wayne offered each guest ginger and wasabi as a plate garnish.

***

MENU

King salmon, Sake

This traditional poisson started off the adventure on a fresh note with a fish that many have vast experience with, Salmon!  

Yellowtail, Hamachi

This had a savory, spicy flair we liked.

Red snapper from Japan, Sweet Madai

This has Yuzu with a pickle!  It's tangy and inviting.

Sustainable bluefin tuna, Akami

If Peachy Deegan were stranded on a desert island with only one course from this menu, it would be this one.  Its robust, superior flavor reigned supreme on her palate and it was truly outstanding.  Note everyone is born with different genes and therefore different tastebuds, so you may like other courses better than this one but if you are like Peachy, you'll live for this specific course.  The beauty of this experience is that it is full of surprises and discovery for you.

Striped Jack, Buttery Shima aji

Orange zest elevates this fish, and we really liked the touch of garlic!

Spicy bluefin tuna with Rice cake puff, Spicy maguro okaki

Pinkies out readers!  Caviar comes to the party here: osetra.

Scallop, Spicy hotate in its shell

Lime Zest and Chili Oil set apart this poisson

Sea urchin, Uni

This is wrapped in seaweed paper and wasabi

Tuna belly with caviar, Toro kyabia

This one was Peachy's second favorite and she's a scallion enthusiast: you can see them striking a pose with the caviar on top

Seared quality marbled beef, Wagyu A5

Torch smoke and wasabi relish elevate this fish

The final course, Eel hand roll with Unagi temaki, comes wrapped with a BBQ flair that is the final firework of your culinary Omakase journey.

Also, there is a premium Macallan pairing experience available that we discovered when we got there, and completely separately from our years of raving about Ammos, we have concurrently raved about Macallan detailed above; check out Culinary King and Mover and Shaker Charlie Whitfield, Global Brand Ambassador of Macallan (we've known him since 2013).  Peachy prefers both 18 years straight.
