Hipster Chefs

These dudes look like they're in a rock band or just went to check one out downtown. But actually they are the chefs at WD-50, headed by Wylie Dufresne, formerly of 71 Clinton Fresh Food and who helped spark the Lower East Side restaurant boom. The Times gives foodies a glimpse into the new operation. Don't know if Wylie Dufresne is trying to be all ironic, but WD-50 is a lot like WD-40. Not to worry 71 Clinton fans - the new chef is doing just fine.

i don't trust a chef with that much facial hair.

Sam Mason looks suspiciously like he's vying for the Jimmy Fallon/Paul McCartney position as the "cute" one in the group.

You know which chef really irritates me? The Naked Chef, that's which. I want to slap that guy.

The dude sitting on the table looks like Jeff Goldblum...

Check out the site and spread the buzz!!! Thanks...

Chef Dufresne and Chef Mason are two of the most talented Chefs I have ever gotten the experience to work with and learn that indiviuality in this field is key. Innovative, wacky, and down right amazing are good words to describe WD~50. If you want to expreince food and drink like you have never had before i suggest you check it out. You will not be dissapointed.
