What’s GQ critic, Husk-hater, and recent James Beard award winner Alan Richman up to tonight? A rep from the men’s mag writes in to let us know that they’re celebrating Richman’s 25 years of GQ service with a roast at Le Bernardin. As in, comedy roast. It isn’t open to the public, just press, but as you’ve no doubt gleaned from the headline, the roasters will include Eric Ripert, Anthony Bourdain, and Dave Chang, who has probably picked up at least some comedy tips from his buddy Aziz Ansari.
