A yearlong festival showcasing contemporary Hungarian visual,
performing, and literary arts in New York and Washington, D.C.,
throughout 2009, organized by the Hungarian Cultural Center, NY

Chef Attila Bicsár hails from one of the best culinary addresses in Budapest, the restaurant Alabárdos.

His cooking demonstration was held at the International Culinary Theater of the French Culinary Institute, the birthplace of brilliant careers in the food business. Departing from classic recipes, he elaborated on emerging trends of a Hungarian cuisine still little known to American palates. It was a unique opportunity for first-hand learning and tasting! Organized by the Hungarian Investment and Trade Development Agency (ITD), this event was reserved for food professionals, press, and merchants.
