Meet the Food Gal at Macy’s San Francisco
I liken this to a boxer braving his first bout in — of all places — Madison Square Garden.
But that’s what yours truly will be doing at 2 p.m. June 11, when I do my first cooking demo ever: At Macy’s. Union Square. In the heart of San Francisco.
Gulp.
Yes, the gleaming kitchen in the Cellar at Macy’s, which has hosted some of the best chefs in the country, will be the setting for my debut cooking demo.
I’ve been training hard for it, putting in extra hours at the stove at home, and doing Jumping Jacks in front of the cutting board. I hope you’ll come out to cheer me on at this free event. Or even bring some smelling salts in case I pass out.
Chef Earl Shaddix of All-Clad will join me in the kitchen to make sure I do Macy’s proud.
I’ll be showing you how to make one of my favorite dishes of all time — my late-Mom’s tomato beef chow mein. And yes, there will be tastes afterward. How’s that for a bribe to entice you to attend?
Sounds wonderful! A very good reason to try to make it to the city!!!
Your Mother’s recipe sounds absolutely delicious! I have been attending the Cellar at Macy’s events and have enjoyed the presenters, food and networking with the attendees. I think you will enjoy presenting your Mother’s Tomato Beef Chow Mein to a very enthusiastic audience.
How awesome for you. I’ve made your mom’s most-delicious chow mein, and I cannot wait to sample your take on this most-yummy recipe.
And I also can’t wait to see the ad/your picture run in my copy of the San Jose Mercury News.
Oh no, I have a Giants game that day! But how cool, good luck! I bet you’ll slay it! 🙂
Awesome awesome awesome! You rock!
Wish I were going to be on the west coast then!
Congrats!! wished I lived nearby..I would love to meet you!

Hey Carolyn,
Congrats and I’m sure you’ll be dazzling! Well done coz since reading your blog, you have great style, taste and most of all fantastic food sense and charisma!
Good luck! I’m sure it’ll be a fun time for everyone…wish I could make it…
Greetings from KPH!
YAY for you Carolyn! Now if I were in your neck of the woods I would definitely come and meet you! 😀
Oh shoot, I don’t think I can make it, but I’ll be rooting for you, and I have no doubt you’ll be a pro. What fun and what a missed opportunity not to be able to sample this special dish.
That sounds like a fantastic opportunity! Good luck with your demo!
I wish I could attend! Good luck on your first demo and congratulations! Can’t wait to see your post on this 😀
The last chef I saw at The Cellar was Julia Child.
(OK, I don’t get out much.) Looking forward to being there to see you.
Michele: Julia Child! Oh man, now I’m really getting nervous. LOL
You’ll be great! Sounds like such a fun event. And, you picked a great dish to demo.
If I am not swamped with jet lag and cleaning/re-organizing our space we will totally cheer you on!! 🙂
Oh wow! I have to re-arrange my plans to get over there – I am going to do my best!
