That's Shanghai - September 2016 Issue Out Now!

2016-09-03 ThatsShanghai




Now into its 14th edition, our annual That’s Shanghai Food & Drink Awards was held last month at Fusion. As always, the party was attended by hundreds of Shanghai’s F&B elite to celebrate the great work they’ve been doing over the past year… and what a blast we had.

The big winners of 2016? Mr & Mrs Bund (Restaurant of the Year), The Nest (Bar of the Year) and Le Baron (Club of the Year). No big surprises there, really. They’re awesome. They’re consistent. There’s always great fun to be had. As for the new kids on the block? Baoism, The Parrot and Elevator took home top prizes in their respective categories for newbies.  

In our Mad Men-themed cover story you’ll see the full list of all the winners and photos from the awards ceremony at Fusion. See if your favorites made the cut starting on p50.

Speaking of the theme, avid readers of That’s Shanghai will know that we always do a playful photo shoot inspired by famous movies or TV shows with familiar faces in Shanghai’s F&B circle on the cover of our September issue. Ever wonder how these photo shoots are created? In the Life & Style section, I’ve put together a little behind the scenes feature (p28) on how we imposed the looks of Mad Men characters on Paul Eschbach (Executive Chef, Jean Georges), Mark Klingspon (Managing Director, The Nest and The Cannery), Yao Lu (Mixologist, Union Trading Company), Anna Bautista (Chef, Blue Plate Consulting and Lucky Belly Group) and Camden Hauge (Owner, EGG).

Our deepest gratitude goes out to our five amazing models on the cover for being such good sports (and waking up early for the shoot). A HUGE thank you also goes out to Waldorf Astoria (for allowing us to use the Long Bar for the shoot), Gillian at Alize (for turning Camden and Anna into our favorite Mad Men characters with their hair and makeup services), SuitSupply and Massimo Dutti (for suiting up Paul, Mark and Yao).

Elsewhere in the magazine, Arts Editor Andrew Chin speaks to Brian May of Queen just before their show with Adam Lambert comes to Shanghai on Sep 26. See what the legendary guitarist has to say about the American Idol runner-up on p38. Meanwhile, Food Editor Betty Richardson continues to eat and drink her way through the newest restaurants and bars around the city. Check out her findings in the Eat & Drink section (starting p72).

Until next month.
Dominic Ngai, Editor-in-Chief
