NY Times Reads Blackened Out; Do Gooder Darling

NOLA AND NYC? The New York Times has been reading Blackened Out's blog. NYT Contributor Julia Moskin says: "How often do you get to read a restaurant review based on 36 visits over three years? That's how much one New Orleans food blogger loves Domenica." [Twitter]

GARDEN DISTRICT? On September 24, Commander's Palace is hosting a Celebrity Chef Dinner, benefiting the James Beard Foundation, featuring a seafood-inspired feast by chefs Tory McPhail, Danny Trace, Chris Barbato, and Juan Carlos Gonzales, . Tickets are $150 per person and can be purchased by calling (720) 201-1853. [EaterWire]

EVERYWHERE? Gary Darling on his project, Three Chefs One Mission, which cooks for communities recovering from natural disasters: "When we do those events, we approach it like a mini Jazz Fest. We set up a stage, we have music, there's a lot going on, and when people come to eat, we're not serving relief food. We have Louisiana seafood, Louisiana dishes... you're also taking your mind off whatever you're dealing with." [Gambit]
