Seeing Double at Perilla

Dinner was nearly ethereal at Top Chef winner Harold Dieterle’s Perilla last night, but I’ll get to that a little later in the week.  While the handsome chef remained behind closed kitchen doors, another attractive Top Chef alumni made an appearance in the front of the house.  Sam Talbot, who coincidentally parted ways with Wil & Rob Shamlian of Spitzer’s Corner that very same day as first reported by Eater, spent the evening running in and out of the kitchen.   Perhaps he was seeking counsel from the Season One veteran, who was busy feeding a packed house.  It was a television star-studded evening at Greenwich Village’s newest hot spot, where Sarah Jessica Parker dined in a nearby booth.

Until we eat again,
