Our old Boston-based celeb-chef pal Ming Tsai visits New York this week. Friday at noon, the Mingster will be appearing at a vast artificial cranberry bog constructed by Ocean Spray near the entrance to 30 Rockefeller Center — that's your morning-juice money, hard at work — and giving a live cooking demo. On the menu: sweet-and-sour cranberry chutney, to be used for cranberry crab rangoons; sweet-and-sour pork-fried rice; and a panko-crusted turkey scaloppine. What — no trail mix with dried cranberries?
