A list of New York's Top Lady Chefs shows there are many accomplished women working in the kitchens of this city. But it also confirms the point I made last week regarding the types of kitchens women helm in NY: these aren't the places that garner a lot of stars from the critics, no matter how delicious they are. The list is a good start towards raising awareness of the issue, and I'm glad it exists. It's just that, me being a real capital F Feminist, I'd rather they didn't say "Lady Chefs" and really, chefettes? Chefettes?! I know, I have no sense of humor. [via Eater]
