How many people can say that they’ve received cooking tips from Jean-Georges Vongerichten the man himself in person? Well, quite a few of us here in Shanghai. Just this past weekend, Three on the Bund hosted a cooking demonstration by the grand chef, followed by a four-course lunch featuring the same dishes he showcased. Sounds like an gastronomic Saturday morning? Oui oui.

For those who are unfamiliar with Jean-Geroges Vongerichten, here’s an excerpt from Wikipedia:

…No single chef has had more influence on the way New Yorkers dine out – or on the way other chefs cook and other restaurants look. “He invented America’s answer to nouvelle cuisine,” says Mario Batali. “When I first came to New York, his book Simple Cuisine was the holy grail for young chefs, and JoJo was the hottest ticket in town.”

Joining Jean-Georges at the cooking demonstration was Lam Ming Kin, the executive chef at Jean Georges Shanghai, and Seani Lin, the pastry chef. They have both been around since the opening of the restaurant in 2004, after spending some time at Jean Georges New York.

Jean-Georges also introduced Dan Kluger (“Best Chef of the Year”), the chef at his recently opened ABC Kitchen (“Best New Restaurant”) in New York.
