Jacques Pepin in Newport this weekend

Award-winning chef Jacques Pepin is being honored this weekend during the Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival. WSBE Rhode Island PBS will have a display table at the Grand Tastings at Marble House on Saturday and Sunday (noon to 4 PM). If you're attending the event, please make it a point to stop our table and say hello.

This morning's Providence Journal has a nice article by food editor Gail Ciampa about Jacques Pepin and his visit to Rhode Island this weekend.
