Battle Apres Westminster
Battle of the Apres Parties
Westminster hasn't even officially started, but already the show-downs are in high gear.
Traditionally, the Westminster winner has made an obligatory stop on the Wednesday after the show at the
Dog Fanciers Club luncheon at Sardi's. There, this year's Best in Show judge, J. Donald Jones, will talk
about the dog he selected, and owner Vincent Sardi Jr. will feed him -- the dog, not the judge -- steak
tartare as the roomful of photographers get their photo op.
But this year, an upstart group, the Metropolitan Dog Club, has planned a competing event -- a Best-in-Show
Brunch, featuring the very same draws as the Dog Fanciers luncheon, starting at the same time: 10:30 a.m.
How will it be possible for pooch and judge to be in two places simultaneously? Layering like some huge
lasagna, probably. The Metropolitan Dog Club -- whose members were visible at tonight's Dog Writers
Association dinner, waving their blue MDC mini-flags -- has the tactical advantage: Its brunch is being
held at Cipriani Dolci, overlooking the main terminal at Grand Central Station, where, conveniently, the
Best in Show dog will be doing a live telecast.
All that will be missing is some raw meat. Then again, we wouldn't be surprised if the pooch gets slipped
some carpaccio (after all, Harry Cipiriani is credited for inventing it, way back in 1950). Which will
make the Dog Fanciers luncheon feel like, well, leftovers.
