Is New York City really the food capital of the world, or are we all just victims of the hype? In this episode of Over Seasoned, Tony and Xavier dig into the cult of NYC food culture. From the legendary pastrami sandwiches at Katz's to overpriced caviar bumps, we explore what makes people flock to the Big Apple for a bite—and whether it's all just a brilliantly marketed illusion. Join us for a hilarious and irreverent conversation as we break down the myths, the must-tries, and the total misses of NYC's culinary scene. Plus, we share some of our own food brainwash confessions (yes, we've been there too).

Our guest is Phillip Frankland Lee who is the chef/owner of Sushi by Scratch.  Sushi by Scratch Restaurants began in Los Angeles and New York marks its tenth location, which opened in September 2024. Phillip is known for innovative omakase-style sushi preparations, while still respecting the values set by sushi masters. For example, he uses premium seafood mostly from the Toyosu Market in Japan and he imports rice from Toyoama Prefecture and mills it in-house.  On the other hand, he pays homage to his American upbringing by flavoring hamachi yellowtail with sweet corn pudding and topped with a sprinkle of sourdough breadcrumbs. Sushi has come a long way in the U.S. since the 1960s when it was introduced to the general public for the first time.  Sushi is now one of the most popular foods in the U.S. and great talents like Phillip seem to be making it uniquely American.

Still today, hundreds of our neighbors continue to line up in search of groceries. It's mainly thanks to volunteers that they return home with a bag of food.

Many of us daydream of leaving our home country to pursue our dreams, yet not many of us find ourselves making that a reality. Amelie Kang was one of the few who took the leap, leaving her home in China to move to America and explore a career in culinary arts. After years of being a student to a Chinese teacher with international cooking exposure and her grandmother's culinary influence, her curiosity was heightened. Upon arriving in America, she soon graduated from the Culinary Institute of America and hopped on the fast track to open her own restaurant. Through monumental success and a few bumps along the way, Amelie kept one thing at the forefront of all she does, keeping customer experience first. Through her dining, Mala Project aspires to bring bold, authentic flavors of China to the American table with a form of dining new to many of us called dry pot. This dynamic conversation will serve up: Her journey to America, and her inspiration along the way.How she ended up on Forbes 30 under 30 list and what she learned through the successes and failures along the way. What it means to be a “customer service company that happens to serve food.”How everyday hosts can bring her “culture building” philosophy to their own tables.How to broaden our scope of Chinese food with new menu items and dishes to try! Amelie and I found ourselves sharing so many of the same values when it comes to the table! We are overjoyed to bring you such an inspiring story of courage and community!

One of the most beloved Thanksgiving side dishes is also the most contested. Is it called stuffing or dressing? And what's even the difference between the two? Quite a lot, according to chef, restaurant-owner, and cookbook author Alexander Smalls. From what kind of bread to use, to what kind of protein to add, this Thanksgiving dish can look vastly different depending on what part of the country you hail from. Smalls will walk us through how to make a special kind of dressing inspired by flavors from his own childhood: Low Country Oyster Cornbread Dressing with Crispy Slab Bacon.Low Country Oyster Cornbread Dressing with Crispy Slab BaconServes 84 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing1 cup smoked slab bacon, cut into 1-by-1/3-inch pieces2/3 cup finely chopped Vidalia onion1 large red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped1 cup grape tomatoes, halved1 cup roasted corn kernels (optional)2/3 cup finely chopped celery1½ tablespoons rubbed fresh sage1¼ teaspoon dried thyme1/2 teaspoon celery seeds5 cups crumbled day-old buttermilk cornbread 4 cups torn white bread, slightly dry toasted18-20 fat oysters (1 pint), shucked with liquor reserved2 cups chicken stock or low-sodium canned chicken broth3 large eggs, well beaten1 teaspoon sea salt3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper1 teaspoon cayenne pepper1 teaspoon grated or ground nutmegPreheat your oven to 375 F and grease a 9- by 13-inch baking dish generously with butter.Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray, cover with a layer of aluminum foil, top with a cooking rack and spray that with non-stick cooking spray, too.Arrange the bacon onto the rack in a single layer, leaving space in between each piece.Roast until firm and crispy, about 45 minutes, then reduce the oven to 325 F.Transfer the bacon to a cast-iron pan and sauté over medium heat until very crispy, about 20 minutes.Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat.Add the onion, bell pepper, tomatoes, corn (if using), celery, sage, thyme and celery seeds, cover with a lid and cook, stirring once or twice, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes; remove from the heat and cool.In a large bowl, toss the cornbread and white bread to combine. Add the bacon and any renderings and toss to combine. Add the cooled vegetable medley and toss to combine.Line a fine-mesh sieve with cheesecloth, place over a 4-cup liquid measuring cup and strain the oyster liquor through it. Add enough stock to equal 2 cups. Add the eggs and whisk to combine, then pour it into the bowl with the bread. Add the salt and pepper, cayenne and nutmeg, and stir to combine.Spoon half of the dressing into the prepared baking dish. Space the oysters evenly over the dressing at least an inch away from the sides of the dish. Spoon the remaining dressing over the oysters, spreading it to the edges of the dish.Bake until the dressing is steaming, and the top is lightly browned, about 1 hour. Let stand for 5 minutes, then serve hot.Recipe by Alexander SmallsFor this recipe and more, go to: https://www.today.com/podcasts/cooking-up-a-storm.

In this episode of “From Kitchen To Cause,” we speak with David Helbraun about one of the most urgent issues today: rent. David is the Founding Partner and Chairman of one of the largest law firms focused exclusively on hospitality, Helbraun Levey (https://helbraunlevey.com/). David is also an entrepreneur who owned Pyramid Coffee Company. David recently served as the Chair of the Hospitality Law Committee of the NYC Bar Association, an industry group comprised of over 40 of New York City's top hospitality attorneys who regularly comment on the laws and regulations affecting the industry. He is also a board member of the NYC Food & Beverage Hospitality Council, an alliance of over 30 NYC industry professionals and businesses. In this episode, David shares how business owners are working with landlords to renegotiate rent during this difficult time.

When rent negotiations with her landlord were going south, Chef/owner Angie Mar knew it might be time to say goodbye to the historic New York City restaurant space that changed her life. So what did she do? She returned the keys, walked away, and rented the space right next door. Angie joins us to discuss her decision to close The Beatrice Inn, the challenges of 2020, the future of fine dining, and more. As Chef Angie’s fans know, she’s a bit of a glamour puss, so we also asked her a few questions about her fashion faves and her beauty routine. Tune in to learn more about this colorful and creative personality.Thank you to Catbird, the finest fine jewelry, for supporting this episode.

Think about your last delicious meal at a restaurant. How did it make you feel? Restaurants are the lifeblood of creativity, community, and storytelling - and these days, they're an art form whose importance we're all too aware of. This week, we'll hear from Michael Chernow, a restaurant entrepreneur and storyteller extraordinaire. Michael is the co-founder of the famous NYC restaurant, The Meatball Shop, and his latest spot, Seamores, a sustainable seafood restaurant - among other food and wellness ventures. In today's chat, we'll dive into the why and how behind creating a restaurant in one of the most competitive cities in the world - New York - and Michael's exact process from idea to rocket-growth of launching not one, but two, successful restaurants that have been featured everywhere from Jimmy Fallon to Chelsea Handler, have tens of thousands of fans, cookbooks and more. This episode is quite nostalgic for any foodies, restaurant lovers, or even NYC dwellers (past or present!) who are currently craving the coziness, comfort, and community that bubble up inside of your favorite restaurant. Whether you're curious about becoming a serial entrepreneur, or simply enjoy whipping up a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs - our chat with Michael reminds us all that we can create, even in the most difficult (simple) of moments. Some stuff we also cover: Michael's career path in the restaurant industry - from delivery boy to bartender to founder - and how he navigated each step Why storytelling and having empathy are extremely important skills in the hospitality world - and how you can cultivate them How the process of opening a restaurant has changed over the past decade The importance of culture in creating connected and long-lasting organizations - and why any entrepreneur should tap into it Resources you might want to check out: Restaurants mentioned: The Meatball Shop, Seamores (others: Candle Cafe, Frank) Social media: @michaelchernow Website: michaelchernow.com As always, this podcast is sponsored by: Daydreamers.

How do you feed 1.5M of people every day? NYC Department of Sanitation commissioner and recently appointed food czar Kathryn Garcia talks to Billy Shore about leading the city’s massive and complicated hunger relief efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s really been the sheer scale and magnitude of how many people are in need. Not any one piece of it is necessarily difficult in and of itself, but the scale is really massive,” says Garcia. “We’re a city of incredible variation. We need to be able to deliver the right food at the right time… People want to eat the food that comes from their culture, and if it doesn’t, they may not eat what you deliver to them,” she notes. With more than 500 public schools distributing food every day, Garcia reflects on what she’s learned about school nutrition programs. “There are specific funding streams that drive the development of the programs, rather than being more kid focused. What works for [the kids] rather than what works for reimbursement?,” she asks. Join us for this important discussion about tackling food insecurity on a massive scale during a crisis.

Karen Washington is one of the most influential food and farming activists of our time. From starting the Garden of Happiness in the Bronx, Black Urban Growers, and now Rise and Root Farm, Karen is modeling a new food system based on equity, social capital, and health. New York State has over 57,000 farmers, and less than 200 of them are people of color, and this disparity holds true in every state across the country. Karen challenges Governor Cuomo to meet with black and brown farmers to talk about the policies and programs needed to support their success in agriculture.

On this week’s episode of Straight, No Chaser, we’re talking about the 2012 Farm Bill. Katy Keiffer is joined in the studio by Benjamin Solotaire of the Brooklyn Food Coalition and the NYC Food and Farm Bill Working Group, and Caitlin Salemi of the Urban Rural Alliance Building Committee, and also the NYC Food and Farm Bill Working Group. Tune in to hear discussions concerning cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and what it means in terms of food security for low-income families. Learn about the budget dedicated to crop insurance subsidies, and how these affect commodity crops such as corn, sugar, and soy. Why it is so important for an agreement to be reached concerning this year’s Farm Bill? Learn more about the process in the Senate and the House of Representatives that determine what the final bill will look like. This program has been brought to you by S. Wallace Edwards & Sons. “One in five kids in the United States are at risk for food insecurity”. — Benjamin Solotaire on Straight, No Chaser “Farmers who grew commodities were paid regardless of what the price of the commodity was on the market, and regardless of whether or not they actually had that commodity planted. It was based on historic base acres, or what they could have planted. So the fact that that was eliminated and replaced with a much smaller commodity support system is a big deal.” “The largest farms will not be eligible for the same amount of subsidies on what they pay as a premium. Now, farmers- regardless of income or size- the government subsidizes 62% of their premium that they pay for that crop insurance. That’s almost a reverse of what it was in the year 2000.” —Caitlin Salemi on Straight, No Chaser

This week on Straight, No Chaser, Katy Keiffer chats with Mark Dunlea about everything current in US Food Policy.

He is a co-convener of the NYC Food and Farm Bill group. Tune in to learn more about the Farm Bill and why it is not necessarily helping family farms as advertised. This program was sponsored by S. Wallace Edwards & Sons. “[They] promote things like corn, which gets turned into corn syrup, and soy, that gets turned into fat, rather than provide incentives for fresh foods and vegetables.” “If farmers don’t exist in America, then food prices will be through the roof. We need to create a sustainable food system that provides both an adequate wage to the farmer while providing us healthy food at a reasonable price.” “If one looks at almost any community and sees how much money is being spent on food in that community, it’s often the single largest part of the economy. Everybody, rich or poor, has to eat three times a day.” “Most farmers in America get almost nothing out of the Farm Bill.” “The problem isn’t what people buy with food stamps, the problem is with what American people buy overall.” –Mark Dunlea, Executive Director of Hunger Action Network
