What’s Up With The Dogs

So I get to Cafe Des Artiste (it’s 2004 and I’m working on my first book “The Great Bagels & Lox Book) and Chef Ari Neiminen is waiting for me. He’s been looking forward to surprising me for weeks. He introduces me to his manager’s girlfriend (I can’t remember her name) and she proceeds to take off as many pieces of clothing as possible without putting the book in jeopardy. The lady climbs up on the bar and lies down. Chef Ari goes to the kitchen and returned with all the ingredients needed for an authentic New York Bagel & Lox……only in New York and no, we didn’t eat the sandwich after the shoot. 
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.
