How Georges Eats: Chef Perrier’s Ten-Course Collingswood G(o)utfest
The last time I wrote about Blackbird Dining Establishment chef/owner Alex Capasso, he was allegedly punching a Center City lawyer who had allegedly insulted Capasso’s very pregnant hostess (the whole thing wound up getting tossed out of court). So when a source left a message on my machine saying “I have some information about Alex Capasso and Georges Perrier that you may find interesting,” the first thought that came to my bloodthirsty head was that the two hot-tempered chefs had bludgeoned each other to death with esoteric kitchen instruments, and that I would be up for a James Beard Award for Best Salacious Chef Exposé.

A source close to Jonathan Newman says the former LCB chairman is in talks with the Inquirer or the Daily News for a new gig to occupy his time between counting money and squashing grapes. The job details are sketchy, and it’s not known whether he’d be on the executive side or the editorial side. If it’s the editorial side, Inquirer editor in chief Bill Marimow knows nothing about it.
