Rucker's JBFA Special; Coava's New Seasons Exclusive

E. BURNSIDE—The 2013 James Beard Foundation Awards fetes on Monday at NYC's Lincoln Center, and Le Pigeon's Gabriel Rucker — himself a nominee for Best Chef Northwest — will be cooking at the post-show gala, ostensibly themed " "Lights. Camera. Taste! Spotlight on Food & Film." Tonight, Rucker will offer his gala dish on the menu at Le Pigeon — inspired by Dances with Wolves, it's a corn crepe filled with corn and buffalo heart, served with corn smut vinaigrette.
