A war where everyone wins: SF Food Wars' Essential New York Times Cookbook Ultimate Potluck

I've been wanting to check out SF Food Wars for quite some time and this weekend the stars finally aligned. This event differed from the norm which usually features a mix of amateur and pro chefs from around the area competing for one of the coveted SF Food Wars titles. Instead, this time a dozen of the top chefs and mixologists in San Francisco made their picks from the best of 150 years of New York Times recipes as part of the launch of Amanda Hesser's The Essential New York Times Cookbook. Sunday afternoons don't get much better than this.
