Chef Angie Mar of the Beatrice Inn in NYC's West Village doesn't care about trends. And although she owns one of the hottest restaurants in the city, she doesn't eat out at buzzy new restaurants herself for fear of being inadvertently influenced by the food of other chefs. Instead she is true to her vision of big cuts of glorious beef, magnificently prepared, inspired by dinners made with her Chinese American father. On this episode of Speaking Broadly, Mar talks about the challenges of being a perfectionist in the kitchen but wanting to work on new projects, as well as what she learned about cows from the butchers of France and the UK.

Lucy Thurber is getting an honor not usually granted to mid-career playwrights: a cycle of five of her plays is being mounted in New York City. The cycle, called “The Hill Town Plays,” centers around one character, a smart young heroine struggling to form an identity independent from her western Massachusetts upbringing.  The first play "Scarcity," follows the character at age 11, while the final play, "Stay," focuses on a woman in her 30s. Keep in mind, the main characters in each of these five plays don't always share the same name. Rattlestick Playwrights Theater is behind this deep dive into Thurber’s oeuvre, which continues through September 28. New York Times theater critic Charles Isherwood has seen the plays and tells us what to expect from the performers and the world they create on their various stages
