Chefs & Christmas

When the holidays come around, the store windows

of Barneys New York liven up with whimsy and

a spectacular sense of humor.

"A Foodie Holiday" is this year's theme.

Let's face it, chefs have turned into rock stars,

thanks to the Food Network.

Check out this huge pot of "revolutionary stew",

boiling with the culinary geniuses...

Julia Child, Thomas Keller, Dan Barber...

James Beard and Jamie Oliver.
