Last night, two of our favorite chefs on the planet joined forces to make pizza, when April Bloomfield became the latest out-of-town guest chef at Michael Schwartz's Harry's Pizzeria. We couldn't be there ourselves, unfortunately — hey, we can't be everywhere! — but we spotted Genuine Hospitality Group's Jackie Sayet's post on the Michael's Genuine site touting the "Spotted Pig Pizzeria in Pictures." 

As we find out in the first of a two-part interview, the overlapping worlds of music and food most certainly predates a Tumblr dedicated to the topic. It predates the guy who invented Tumblr being born. Ken Friedman, a former music executive and partner in The Spotted Pig and The Breslin, has been at the center of this world for the past three decades. 

April Bloomfield is the chef and co-owner of a trio of hot-as-they-come New York City restaurants: The Spotted Pig, The Breslin and The John Dory. Each offer a dining-with-benefits experience — exceptionally flavorful and decadent cooking (pork topped with runny eggs seems to be a go-to prep), served in sharply designed dining rooms packed with celebrities of the screen and social web. Here's a recent video from her trip to Chicago.
