The Taste of the Upper West Side has been one of my favorite foodie events for a while now. This year they stepped it up and made it even more special. The Best of the west which was on a Saturday night was the last of a three day food and wine lovers dream which also included a soiree in the park on thursday night and comfort classics on friday with over 40 chefs preparing our favorite comfort food recipes. This year The Best of the West honored Daniel Boulud. World-renowned chef and owner Daniel Boulud of Daniel, Café Boulud, db Bistro Moderne, DBGB Kitchen and Bar, Boulud Sud and Epicerie Boulud culminated in a magical evening with music by the Silver Arrow Band, spectacular food, and fantastic cocktails. Hosted by Jill Martin the chefs prepared specialty dishes in honor of Mr. Boulud and the crowd was having a great time. @NewTasteUWS
