Today and tomorrow night only, humans will eat human food created by a pet-food company while discussing the palates and interests of cats. The menu includes brasato di manzo, which is a fancy kind of pot roast. “Cats used to be employees,” chef Amanda Hassner told @Choiresicha last night. “We domesticated cats because we needed somebody to catch mice in our barns who were trying to steal our grains.” Yet somehow, we now serve them. Hassner has been the chef for Fancy Feast since 2010, having transferred over from Stouffer’s and Lean Cuisine. (These are all wonderful brands in the Nestlé family, the collection of waters, coffees, and — who could forget! — baby formulas that had a profit of about $5.5 billion in the first half of 2022.) Hassner, with her attractive colleagues in marketing, is now presiding over a two-day restaurant experience. It is called Gatto Bianco and is housed in a rental space in the West Village. Head to the link in our bio for a look at Choire's feline-fueled evening.
