Ѹ Grad Ed Brown to Appear on NBC Today Show
Hyde Park, NY – The
Culinary Institute of America was a good match for alumnus Ed Brown, and as the U.S. Open tennis tournament begins, Chef Brown
will be on set at the NBC Today show on Tuesday, August 29 sharing
recipes viewers will love. That’s because
while the best tennis players in the world are serving aces at the grand slam
tourney in Flushing, NY, Brown will be serving dishes that are a smash at his restaurant in Arthur Ashe
Stadium, Aces by Ed Brown.
Brown is chef/innovator for Restaurant Associates, a hospitality
company that provides premium food services for cultural venues and corporate
dining, including the Aces restaurant and concessions at the U.S. Open. Chef
Brown and his team also oversee The Egg student dining venue at the Ѹ, and his son Alec is enrolled at his alma mater,
currently a freshman majoring in culinary arts.
Chef Brown has been with RA since 1990, including 14 years
as executive chef of the Sea Grill in Rockefeller Plaza—just outside the Today show studio. He is known for his
expertise with seafood, but we’ll have to watch to learn if lob-ster is on
Chef Brown’s menu, or if he’ll be preparing game. Either way, the net result will be
delicious.
