I’m Sarah Simmons (@sarahmcsimmons) and I’m FOOD &amp; WINE magazine’s Home Cook Superstar. I’m developing a TV show, catering to the masses, and trying my best to get people back into their kitchens.

I also run City Grit, an underground supper club in Manhattan that’s making its way above ground.

&lt;div&gt;Asheville, North Carolina is one of the HOTTEST up-and-coming food cities in the country. And we are so excited to be bringing one of Asheville’s HOTTEST chefs, William Dissen, &lt;a href="http://citygritnyc.com/#WDISS" target="_blank"&gt;to cook a tasting menu at CITY GRIT featuring Appalachian ingredients and his signature farm-to-table cooking&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;…&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;When we think of Buffalo and food, we usually think of buffalo sauce, which we smother generously on just about everything. Turns out, the Buffalo food scene is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;blowin’ up&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;, and we just grabbed the HOTTEST chef in town to come cook at CITY GRIT!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;We’re talking about the wildly talented…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;We are so, so excited to announce our second chef for The Next Big Thing, a CITY GRIT series featuring NYC chefs who we think are, well, THE NEXT BIG THING!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Our first chef of the series - the immensely talented Jonah Miller - will be cooking a Spanish-inspired tasting menu to a sold-out crowd…&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;If it’s true that oysters are aphrodisiacs, then it’s about to get&lt;em&gt;realll&lt;/em&gt; hot and steamy up at CITY GRIT. Because we’re hosting &lt;a href="http://citygritnyc.com/schedule#SHUX" target="_self"&gt;Aw, Shucks&lt;/a&gt;, our first ever oyster extravaganza, featuring multiple courses of everyone’s favorite sexy shellfish…fried, baked, stewed and more!

&lt;div&gt;Our line-up over the past year has been pretty awesome - featuring some of the country’s most renowned chefs.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Having folks like Sean Brock, April Bloomfield, John Besh, Paul Qui (ok, we’ll stop with the not so humble bragging) at CITY GRIT is great because we get to cook with them and y’all…&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;We’re obsessed with Hot Bread Kitchen, the nonprofit bakery that offers culinary training (and a place to cook!) for immigrants and low-income New Yorkers. We’re also obsessed with Hiyaw Gebreyohannes, an HBK Incubates graduate and the man behind Taste of Ethiopia, who has been making…&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;While we never really paid attention in high school math classes, we definitely remember &lt;em&gt;pi&lt;/em&gt;, the mathematical constant of 3.14, because it reminds us of pie, one of the greatest foods of all time!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And according to our calculations…if pi = 3.14, we must therefore celebrate PIE on 3/14! &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;…&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I don’t know about y’all, but we’ve already blown our New Year’s resolutions. So we’re pretty excited about giving 2013 another go with our &lt;a href="http://citygritnyc.com/#CNYE" target="_blank"&gt;Chinese New Year’s Eve d&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://citygritnyc.com/#CNYE" target="_blank"&gt;inner&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;We love seafood that’s wild-caught, sustainable, and above all, delicious…so naturally, we’re obsessed with seafood from the Gulf Coast. Seeing as the East River is lacking in the seafood department, we decided to bring the gulf to us for a&lt;a href="http://citygritnyc.com/#MISS"&gt;“Taste of Mississippi” dinner &lt;/a&gt;featuring &lt;a href="http://www.msseafood.com/" target="_blank"&gt;…&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Fried chicken makes everything better. Seriously, everything…especially when it’s served with cheesy grits, collards, and other Southern, comfort food classics.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This weekend we threw a helluva Southern comfort dinner on Sunday—&lt;a href="http://www.rockshic.com/my-blog/2013/01/282-sunday-supper-with-city-grit.html" target="_blank"&gt;blogger Rockchic&lt;/a&gt; called it “a real treat…definitely one of…&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;We’re definitely not wine snobs here at CITY GRIT…our wine lexicon includes words like fancy-ass and sassy. So fortunately for us—and y’all—Hong Kong-based Master of Wine Jeannie Cho Lee is coming all the way to 38 Prince to school us on wines!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Join us as &lt;span&gt;Toy’s Executive Chef Doron Wong…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
