A real-life friendship was the catalyst for this tasty collaboration. Chefs Trigg Brown and Danielle Spencer, of Brooklyn’s beloved Taiwanese bakery and restaurant Win Son, will cross the bridge to join their long-time pal, executive Chef James Tracey of the Midtown East brasserie Monterey, for a one-night-only collaboration dinner held at the latter restaurant (37 E 50th St). With the chefs cooking together, the exclusive evening will feature dishes inspired by both Monterey’s modern American and Win Son’s innovative Taiwanese-American cooking.
Kicking off with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on Saturday, May 11, at 5:30pm, the Monterey-hosted meal will be a “pop-up seven-course blowout menu” that will “transport diners across boroughs and across continents” with bold dishes like fried soft-shell crab with grilled ramps, Taiwanese fish sauce and herbs; guajillo-braised beef cheeks with Anson Mills grits, fresh chickpeas, spring onions and cotija cheese; and chicken wontons with morels, firewood bean paste and five spice beurre fondue. Of course, you’ll be able to finish off with one of Spencer’s famed mochi doughnuts (a popular order at Win Son’s bakery offshoot), turned à la mode and topped with strawberry gelato and red wine gastrique.
The dinner marks the first time that the trio is back in the kitchen together, fusing the best of their respective restaurants, since the gang’s Colicchio and Sons days: Brown interned for Chef Tracy back in the day at Craft, and later cooked together at Colicchio and Sons, where they met pastry chef Danielle Spencer.
Tickets for the event are $98, excluding tax and service; space is limited, so you can reserve your spot now on Opentable. A creative drinks pairing from Chef Driven’s Beverage Director Aviram Turgeman will also be available to add on for $75 per person, with bubbles, sakes and wines accounted for. You can check out Brown, Tracy and Spencer’s full collaboration menu for the Monterey x Win Son dinner event below. Save us a mochi doughnut!

New Yorkers love (and love to hate) a spectacle—and this might top them all—literally.
Thirty Seconds to Mars lead and Mobius actor Jared Leto, along with 20 others, including actors Simu Liu and Jodie Turner Smith, rappelled down the Empire State Building this morning to help raise funds for a non-profit.
Leto and his fellow brave rappellers made their way down 900 feet from the building’s iconic spire to the 30th floor to bring awareness and raise money for Outward Bound, a worldwide educational and charitable network that works to change young people’s lives through challenge, learning and adventure. The participants raised over $3 million.
Last year, Leto became the first person to legally scale the Empire State Building to announce Thirty Second to Mars’ world tour.
This time, he was joined by others, who wanted to bring awareness to Outward Bound in a big way.
“My wife and I chose to join the Big Rappel to benefit a great cause, and I got to see the amazing views from the three levels of our Observatory and the Empire State Building’s few remaining great office leasing opportunities on the way down!” said Tony Malkin, chairman and CEO of Empire State Realty Trust in a statement.
But that’s not all: Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice, Trustee of Outward Bound in the U.K. flipped the switch for tonight’s ESB lights that will shine in blue, pink, green, and white to honor Outward Bound.
“On behalf of Outward Bound, thank you to the Empire State Building for hosting such an inspirational event,” she said. “Bringing young people out of their comfort zones and supporting them to achieve something they never thought possible is what Outward Bound is all about. I am so happy to offer my support as a trustee and a great admirer of the Outward Bound Trust and all they stand for—these participants really are an inspiration.”
