This past week, our administrative director, Alex Lawrence, was selected as one of the competitors on Food Network's Chopped.
The episode had a Thanksgiving theme — titled Turkey Day Heroes — featuring employees and volunteers who work with various soup kitchens or feeding programs.
Contestants are asked to make dishes with "mystery ingredients" that are only revealed to them minutes before they begin cooking. Alex was able to make it all the way through to the end, and ended up winning the competition! If you haven't had a chance to watch the episode, upcoming showings can be found here, in addition to wherever you stream television.
By working alongside other contestants who have committed themselves to feeding the hungry, Chopped was able to bring to a wide audience the very real challenges and needs that organizations like ours face.

Come gather with friends and neighbors for a potluck and performances remembering the life of Richard Kopperdahl, a writer who worked at the Village Voice and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. Richard lived for forty years in a 6th-floor walkup apartment just around the corner from Trinity Church, which looks out on Tompkins Park where Richard walked and sat nearly every day. Bring food, drink, words, or music to share, or just bring yourselves.
Contributions to help cover the memorial expenses will be gladly accepted. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Richard can be made to the Bowery Mission.
Davis, an $8.32-a-night resident, would file claims in Housing Court demanding that management make repairs to his tiny windowless room, and would then refuse to let the workers in, according to court papers.
Karma’s roots are in publishing, but it has become known for hosting shows by contemporary artists including Mark Grotjahn, Brice Marden, Dike Blair, Rudolf Stingel, and Marianne Vitale.
He said he was working on a program schedule to host events once a week on Orchard Street, veering away from the usual schedule for galleries, which organize new exhibitions every six weeks. “It’s a way to keep busy while we finalize our space,” Dugan said. “This is an interesting moment to kind of not rush into anything.” He described the real-estate market as “really overpriced. I don’t know if we’ll find any relief, but it’s helpful to have time to look.”
He wouldn’t say where else he was looking for a permanent spot, but added that it would be somewhere in Manhattan. He did allude to the fact that Karma may stray from the pack, as it were. Dugan mentioned the absence of galleries on Great Jones Street, as well as at Karma’s Amagansett space, which will begin its 2016 exhibition schedule in May. “I like being in places just where we’re on our own,” he said.

Individuals and organizations can donate gently used, freshly laundered coats at hundreds of locations throughout the five boroughs through Saturday, December 31, including at all New York City police precincts ... major transit hubs, and many other sites.
As a new addition to this year's New York Cares Coat Drive, individuals can text "COAT" to 41444 to donate $20 to cover the cost and delivery of one new coat to New Yorkers in need of warmth this winter.
Since 1989, the New York Cares Coat Drive has collected 1.7 million winter coats for men, women, and children in need throughout the city.
"When I come home at 2 in the morning, the last thing I want to do is deal with another loud-ass bar that I have to try to sleep above," said building resident Michelle Brilliant, who works late hours at a restaurant.
"We just don't want to have to deal with it again," she continued. "It literally is a nightmare."
District Manger Susan Stetzer said the board had spoken to police about the bar, and that 9th Precinct officers considered the spot a "serious problem."
"The history of this place is among the worst that we've had," Stetzer said.
Patel tried to assure community and board members that his restaurant would in fact be "calming," centered around tea and conversation rather than dancing and liquor.
"We were able to take this area, reclaim some of it from the automobile, make it safer and more inviting," said DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg.
"This was a big project and I know, looking at some of the elected officials and the community members, I know it took a long time and there was a lot of disruption, and I thank them for their patience. But now we will have beautiful public space, new benches and trees, water mains replaced underneath."
