● Mena Suvari at the Zac Posen for Target shopping party: "Sushi at Nobu." ● Ginnifer Goodwin: "Candle 79 here. Madeleine Bistro in L.A." ● Selma Blair: "I love the Savoy and I love Minetta Tavern." ● Zac Posen: "My favorite restaurant Kai, just closed in New York. And I'm very saddened about Takashimaya. I love Casa Lever has the best steak and great pasta. It's really good Italian."

At the Date Night premiere: 1. Steve Carell - "Boy! You know what? On the way in, we drove by Shun Lee. My wife and I, when we lived here, we ate there all the time. John's Pizza was one of our favorite pizza places. Any one, but, certainly, the one in the Village, and I think they opened one up off Times Square. That's just always good." 2. Tina Fey - "My favorite restaurant in the world is a restaurant in Chicago, called the Athenaeum Room. Favorite dish? Chicken on french fries." 3. Taraji P. Henson - "The Little Owl. I went there the other night!" 4. Jimmi Simpson - "Providence, on Melrose, in Los Angeles. Any special dish? The five-course tasting menu." 5. Carol Alt - "Actually, I like Pure Food and Wine because it's a raw restaurant. What do you like there? Well, just about everything, but their ice cream is killer! Raw ice cream -- unbelievable, unbelievable. I eat at a lot of Japanese places, so I can have raw fish. I'm a raw foodist, so it, kind of, limits."

1. Richard Gere, at the premiere of Brooklyn's Finest: My favorite restaurant has to be the Bedford Post. 2. Don Cheadle: BOA, in L.A. 3. Ethan Hawke: Manganaro's, on 9th Avenue. 4. Wesley Snipes: That's gotta be home. My wife is an excellent cook! Where do I like to go? Oh, La Dinastia, the Cuban-Chinese restaurant on 72nd, near Broadway. 5. Hoda Kobt: I love 21 Club. I love Tabla. I love Shake Shack, just their burgers. 'Cause the first time I saw a line, I thought, 'Who would wait in a line this long for a burger?' And then I realized, 'I would.' There's something about the size, the texture; they're moist, they're delicious. And I like Kefi -- on Columbus -- the best, best Greek food ever, delicious.

Jim Lahey is a bread man. After a trip to Italy while he was in art school studying to be a sculptor, Lahey realized that baking was his true calling. In 1994, he opened Sullivan Street Bakery, which now provides bread for over 250 of the city's best restaurants including Jean Georges, Babbo and Gramercy Tavern. In 2008, Lahey opened his first restaurant, Co., where he turned his signature bread into artisanal pizzas. Famous for his no-knead method, Lahey is trying to spread the word with his recently published book, My Bread, as well a more personal approach: baking lessons at Sullivan Street Bakery. Over lunch at Co., the loquacious baker with "major A.D.D." spoke with me about the importance of good reviews, culinary influences, and his idea of the most bitter, foul taste in food: effort.

At the New York Film Festival premiere of Broken Embraces:

Moises de la Renta could very well be a reality television icon by now. With Fashion God Oscar de la Renta as his father and a velvet rope lifestyle, he certainly fits the I-wish-I-was-him credentials. But Moises opted for a real (and respected) career in design/photography. And if his recently launched, painfully hip website for his bad ass womenswear fashion line MDLR is any indication, his career choice was wise. We met up to chit-chat for what I thought was drinks at the Thompson Hotel, but to my surprise, I was greeted by the man about town in a room full of models getting ready for their close-ups in an MDLR photo shoot featured on Whatswear.com. It was all lights, cameras, and action, mixed with plenty of cigarettes, blaring background noise of the sub-par performances of MJ's classics from the previously aired BET Awards, sexy leather biker jackets complete with gilded MDLR zippers -- and, in true rock star form, an Iggy Pop vs. David Bowie debate.
