The New Yorker: “[Jimmy’s No. 43]…one of New York’s most enthusiastic cassoulet champions, takes a more lenient approach…The cook-off competitors stood over seaming buffet trays, doling cassoulet into small plastic bowls. A number of flagrant, if delicious, digressions from protocol were in evidence.”
 Timeout: “The iconic Southern French dish of white beans, duck and sausages, slow-cooked in its eponymous earthenware crock, is one of winter’s ultimate comfort-food dishes. Warm up with tastes of multiple versions at [Cassoulet Cook Off] where…amateur and professional cooks alike compete to make the best version.”
