This week I went to the Spice Market in the Meatpacking district to photograph Pastry Chef Eric Brack’s dish for “Crossing Borders”. This was his first time to have a dish of his published so besides being excited he was a bit nervous. I set up my equipment and we went to the kitchen where he was going to put his dish together. There by the dish that was full of these green things only 5 minutes before ( I can’t divulge what it was because it’s a secret until the book comes out) was one of his kitchen staff with the last piece going into his mouth! I guess no one told him “Don’t eat the green things” Eric kept his cool and fortunately had more green stuff that he could fry up.
Battman
Alan Batt, better known in the culinary world as simply Battman, began his career as a photographer in 1981 shooting photos of city scenes and landmark sites of New York City. He began taking food photography in 2001, and has since become one of New York City's most recognizable culinary personalities. Battman is often seen riding his bicycle up and down the streets of Manhattan as he travels to and from photo shoots and meetings with the chefs.
