Located at 818 Central Avenue, Albany, NYI've been watching this chef on television for a while and liked his local style and pure chutzpah so I gave him a call and asked to come photograph him.
People, if you want something just ask! Carmine invited me right down and fed me before we have even had a chance to work together.
A chef's life is really chaotic and demanding and Carmine was called away before we actually got more than a handshake out.
I wandered his place while I waited for some of the best risotto I've ever had; see my clean plate.
Note the autographed photo of Patrick Stewart! I'm a "Kirk" man myself but there is no real question as to who could act. I was impressed to also see James Beard Foundation material up on the walls.
There is also Carmine's kitchen studio for his television show right in the restaurant! It was cool to see that it looks the exactly same on TV as in person. This is going to be a sweet gig!
