Cassoulet Cook-Off

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 East Village gastropub Jimmy’s No. 43, where for the tenth year running, amateur and professional cooks alike compete to make the best version. Proceeds benefit Brooklyn Rescue Mission, a food pantry and community garden in Bed-Stuy. Rest assured, your eating—and judging—is for a good cause.
