EaterWire: Canora on Celebrity, P&G Update

EAST VILLAGE— The HuffPo runs an interview with Hearth, Insieme and Terroir's Marco Canora. He discusses the benefits of skipping cooking school, a major lesson he learned from Tom Colicchio, and working in the era of celeb chefs: "In this city especially, you almost have to go about your business as if you're some kind of politician because with cell phones and with video, you never know who's going to be there, who's going to see you doing what, or who you're speaking to. The insanity of exposure with all this technology is crazy." [HuffPo via EMD]

UPPER WEST SIDE— The Observer talks to Steve Chahalis, the owner of the legendary P&G about it's planned shutter and relocation. While regulars bemoan the loss of the neon sign and the space, Chahalis is looking forward to the new location's size (four times larger than the original) and the plans to add a kitchen and music.
