Todd English Does a 360

Chef Todd English has already taken to the seas (lending his famed name to one of the restaurants aboard the Queen Mary 2). Apparently, it was only a matter of time before he took to the skies as well. At a jam-packed event this evening, English, along with Whiskey Bar founder (and hubby of Cindy Crawford) Rande Gerber celebrated a new partnership with Delta Airlines.Yep, for those of you who rue the day that flight attendants started serving peanuts and calling the little foil bags a meal, there is nutritional hope on the horizon. English, chef and founder of Olives restaurant, has designed new menus for the formerly flagging airline, and Gerber is offering specialty cocktails. Venue for the announcement was Sky360, a pop-up lounge space that has been created in a vacant storefront the corner of 57th and Avenue of the Americas. From today through November 12, the lounge—with its reading area, WiFi Internet access and cell-phone/iPod charging stations— will be open to the public throughout the day. Insider tip: Free samples of Todd English's cuisine will be served on Wednesdays. %%showphotos [setid=72157602528833110]%%
