Happy New Year Fam,
I spent New Years Eve dressed to the nines pouring cocktails for some of NYC's creative elite at the Afro Punk/Coup de'tat Punk-N-Paint Show. Big shout out to Ms. Mary Pryor (We Fancy) & extra special thank you to Ra$u Jelani (cdtbk)!
In all it was a great night (except for the psycho who I thought I had a crush on and his strange outbursts –more on that in the next issue), perfect dresses, art abound, drinks galore, good friends, great music, and Dante's Mac & Cheese.
The later stands in a category by itself.
Now I've heard about this catering company DANTE FRIED CHICKEN for at least a year or so now. DFC have been aligning itself with the local indie music scene and catering all these high profile underground events. But I didn’t get what the big deal was... food, music, indie kids, Arab scarves...ok ok ok. I get it, and I wasn’t buying it. I thought, 'good marketing, but the food is probably "regular" at best'.
I've been converted.
That jawn was THE FOOD HIGHLIGHT of 2008. Seriously.

See I don’t eat everybody's cooking and I don’t eat ANYBODY'S macaroni & cheese (I'm a bit of a food snob)...but THAT WAS THE BEST MAC & CHEESE I EVER ATE IN MY LIFE. Real talk, it was better than my Grannies!
Poor Dante, when he was not serving up plates for the hungry masses in attendance, he spent the entire evening avoiding eye contact with me. I was doing mad Jedi Mind tricks trying to score an extra plate.
xoxo
P.S. I can only hope your 2009 turns out to be as rich and creamy. The Toy Plane wishes you sincere love and abundance for the New Year.
