Metromix hit up a fundraiser dinner for Tibet last night, and came away with a couple of fun interviews. Sam Talbot says that a lot of the seafood on his menu at the Mondrian—opening in September—will come from Montauk fishermen. Gavin Kaysen describes sitting near comedian Aziz Ansari at Alinea, Anita Lo hopes Annisa is just a few weeks away from reopening, Eric Ripert is pissed that his real estate moves made it into the Post, and Laurent Manrique reveals that if he ends up as the consulting chef at Millesime, the new restaurant proposed for the Country space, he'll still live in San Francisco.
