Party Paradox: Chefs Invade Barneys For Have A Foodie Holiday Party

Over a thousand people turned out last night to check out the big Simon Doonan/Lee Schrager collaboration at Barneys for its Have A Foodie Holiday-themed windows. Doonan was in particularly good spirits, saying that foodies are much more fun than fashionistas and offering to dress in womens' clothing if the audience all bought Schrager's cookbook. Seen in windows and in real life: Emeril Lagasse, Paula Deen, Bobby Flay, Mario Batali, Morimoto, Anthony Bourdain, Anne Burrell and Daniel Boulud. Party was also a kick off for the South Beach Wine & Food Festival Cookbook: Recipes and Behind-the-Scenes Stories From America's Hottest Chefs. For more mugs from last night's party, click here.
