What happens when the best French and American chefs of the moment converge on New York City for a weekend of casual culinary madness, all in the name of charity?

It's called Le Fooding D'Amour Paris-New York. The two-day event took place in Long Island City, N.Y. at the P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center and included tasting stations by David Chang (Momofuku), Wylie Dufresne (WD~50), Yves Camdeborde (Le Comptoir du Relais), Sean Rembold (Diner), William LeDeuil (Ze Kitchen Galerie), Christophe Pelé (Bigarrade) and more.

Slashfood attempted to try as many of the dishes on offer as possible, considering the long, snaking lines and lack of lighting at the outdoor venue.

Check out our photos after the jump.

Microwave Cooking Gets Haute With Wylie Dufresne

A curious thing happened Tuesday in New York City. A Michelin-starred chef fiddled with a microwave.

It might not be considered so odd as the chef in question was culinary experimenter Wylie Dufresne, who took to the dining room of his restaurant, WD-50, to make an egg dish with a microwave.

"I think microwaves are pretty neat," Dufresne said before his demonstration. The chef uses three standard microwaves in his kitchen and has been testing out this new model for the last three weeks.

"We realized we could poach in the microwave," he said. But it takes time ... 29 minutes to be precise.

Hear how he uses metal in the microwave after the jump.

Top Chef - Countdown to the Finals

Well kids, this is it. The last Top Chef until the finals in New Orleans. The show opens with a Quick Fire in which the chef'testants must do something interesting, innovative and delicious with eggs. Wylie Dufresne of WD-50 in New York is the guest judge. He's known for his edgy use of molecular gastronomy and so these can't just be two soft boiled eggs with toast soldiers (check out a teaser for the QF here).

Once they get through the Quick Fire, they must cook for Wylie, along with the famed French chef Jacques Pepin. With just Stephan, Hosea, Leah, Carla and Fabio left, who will be headed to the finals?

Personally, I'm still smarting over the loss of Jamie a little, I would have far preferred seeing her tonight over Leah (for more Top Chef misfires, check out this gallery from Television Without Pity, I thought they were right on). Who do you think will be progressing to the finals?
