The BanterThe Guys talk about the drive of hospitality and it isn't what some folks say it is. The ConversationsThe Restaurant Guys welcome writer Genevieve Yam to discuss the decline in quality of Honeycrisp apples. Genevieve, who has investigated this issue, shares what happened and how we can keep other varieties from following suit.The Inside TrackThe Guys have been fans of Honeycrisp apples since the 1990s and even gave them as birthday gifts. Genevieve's article about the apple's origin, rise and “crapification” intrigued them so they had Genevieve on to tell them about it.“Dr. David Bedford and Dr. Jim Luby, two scientists working at the University of Minnesota's fruit breeding program came across a tree that was actually slated for the trash. Bedford was extremely curious about this tree. He thought that it had not been given a fair chance and decided to do a little bit of research and what he did changed the course of apple history because what would have ended up in the trash ultimately has become one of the most popular apple varieties here in the United States,” Genevieve Yam on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2025BioGenevieve Yam is a writer and editor based in New York. After graduating with a degree in politics and a brief stint in the start-up world, she enrolled in the International Culinary Center in New York City and cooked at Blue Hill at Stone Barns and Per Se.  After that, she became a freelance food stylist, a recipe tester and editor for the new edition of The Essential New York Times Cookbook, a personal chef, and a contributor to various publications.

Today's interview is so great. Dan Barber is the chef and co-owner of Family Meal at Blue Hill in Manhattan and of the legendary Blue Hill at Stone Barns. He's also the founder of Row 7 Seed Company, a seed company built by chefs, farmers, and breeders that is pushing the boundaries of modern agriculture. We talk about his Row 7 vegetables, including red Badger Flame beets and the semi-viral produce of the season, Sweet Garleek. We also discuss his day-to-day cooking at Stone Barns and how his aversion to tweezers has led to a philosophy that is both fresh and timeless.

Squash doesn't seem like the most charismatic of vegetables. Even the name sounds like a failure. But many chefs are into them. They say each one has its own unique qualities, with summer varieties offering fresh, clean tastes and winter ones providing sweetness and a sort of implied richness, despite their low fat content, that can help lighter dishes seem more satisfying.The difference between chefs' love for squash and consumer perception might be reflected in Technomic's Ignite menu data, which indicates that mentions of squash on United States menus overall decreased by 7% between the end of 2022 and the end of 2023. But butternut squash soup mentions are up by 19.6%, and squash mentions in fine-dining restaurants are up by 8%.One big squash advocate is Dan Barber, chef of Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Pocantico Hills, N.Y., and Family Meal at Blue Hill in New York City.Barber also is the founder of a seed company, Row 7, that essentially got its start developing new squash varieties, including the popular koginut, a variation of butternut that is now grown nationwide.

Did you know that half of the world's agricultural land is degraded? According to the World Economic Forum, this leads to farm productivity losses and is a risk to food security in the future. They define Regenerative Agriculture as a focus on improving the health of the soil that has been degraded by the use of heavy machinery, fertilizers, and can restore agricultural land and pesticides used in intensive farming. When soil is healthy, it produces more food and nutrition, stores more carbon and increases biodiversity – the variety of species. Healthy soil supports water, land and air environments and ecosystems through natural processes including the fertilization of plants. Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, located in Tarrytown (Westchester County), NY is a nonprofit farm, education and research center with a mission to catalyze an ecological food culture in the Northeast. Since 2004, they have been working to innovate ecological farming practices and mindful food choices that benefit human health, strengthen communities, and protect the environment. Their Hudson Valley campus, shared with restaurant partner Blue Hill at Stone Barns, is a living laboratory for interdisciplinary research experiments where farmers, chefs, diners, educators, and artisans come together to push the boundaries of sustainable farming and eating. Laura Perkins is horticulturalist at Stone Barns Center where she tends the formal gardens and develops and maintains the surrounding landscape while supplying Blue Hill with foraged edible foods, giving visitors opportunities for sensory immersion in the landscape, and enhancing wildlife habitat and the ecological resilience of the land. She joins the podcast, Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley, with fascinating insights into the work performed at the Stone Barns Center and how it is helping farmers and residents better understand successful ways to regenerate soils and farming practices.

#142:  Dave interviews celebrated chef and author Dan Barber at Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, where they discuss the potential of getting the masses to understand the value of food production practices above the final product. Dan believes the key lies in exceptional flavor and the innate human drive to pursue pleasure.Dan Barber is the chef and co-owner of Blue Hill in Manhattan and Blue Hill at Stone Barns in New York's Hudson Valley His book The Third Plate is an exploration of America's relationship with food and agriculture and its overall lack of a defined food culture, which he believes has served other geographies through the intentional incorporation of fertility practices into their cuisines.To watch a video version of this podcast with access to the full transcript and links relevant to our conversation, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/dan-barber-power-of-deliciousness-episode-one-hundred-forty-twoThe Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/farmsWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

“This experience felt very unique because it was deeply authentic. They were walking the ranch with the rancher. They were eating food that was not only grown onsite, but then also sourced from the cheesemakers, the oyster farms, the beekeepers, and they were even meeting those producers.” We're in great company with David Rust, Founder and CEO of SAGRA, a new collection of curated individual Farm Stays and experiential Farm Retreats in partnership with regenerative farms across the US where guests have the opportunity to connect with each other, the sources of our food, and the people who thoughtfully grow it.  Whether staying in a quaint private home on a dairy farm, taking a glamping adventure on the coast of a shellfish estuary, or savoring fully-serviced accommodations amongst seasonal produce, the SAGRA experience is the perfect home base for a day of exploration on the farm, unwinding in a serene natural setting, visiting nearby sights and shops, tasting the freshest food, and connecting with the people who passionately produce it.  In this episode, David shares how an interest since childhood led to a passion for a new business concept and activism in a community looking to make farming more relatable and accessible as we look forward to a new food future.  Top Takeaways [1:40] How growing up visiting his extended family's farm in Germany and agriturismo in Italy turned into a passion for farming and understanding farm culture in his adult life, even while pursuing different careers across different cities.  [7:00] It was both a slow progression and a special moment in time that brought David and his co-founders to create and actively pursue the concept of SAGRA. [11:10] “Get your hands dirty, or don't.” David shares more about his mission in making agriculture accessible to everyone, regardless of their level of interest or experience. [13:40] A look back to the beginnings of SAGRA in 2019 when David joined forces with the family behind Stemple Creek Ranch, a regenerative rotational grazing cattle ranch in Northern California, to prototype and practice this agricultural hospitality experience before opening an east coast experience, Hill Farm in Vermont.  [17:20] How SAGRA is part of a broader food and farm community, “Whether it's Dan Barber or Alice Waters, they're deeply passionate about telling a story, whether through cooking food, making a restaurant, or in our case allowing you to book a stay.” [20:10] The meaning behind “SAGRA,” an Italian word for a harvest festival, a celebration of food and community. [24:45] David explains how “hope and active optimism are powerful tools for change”, both for regenerative farmers and their guests who seek out to experience and learn more about those better ways. [31:20] Meet the 4 Farm Stays joining the SAGRA family this fall: Studio Hill in Shaftsbury, VT, Reverence Farms in Saxapahaw, NC, Silver Penny Farm in Petaluma, CA and Zuma Canyon Orchids in Malibu, CA.  [42:20] What David and his team at SAGRA are looking for in future Farm Stay locations, experiences, and types of farms, sharing their stories and supporting their businesses by broadening awareness and appreciation, one stay at a time.

“But that was really my dream. I wanted a tasting menu and to highlight the seafood. And to go forage this property and use the moss and the wild cranberries and the ocean. I mean, the ocean is literally in my backyard here, and I wanted to bring that to the plate.” We're in great company with Devin Finigan of Aragosta at Goose Cove. As an acclaimed chef and proprietor, a proud mother and community activist, Devin curates the best of Maine's bounty through her creative palate for food and hospitality. Having traveled the world learning from some of the best chefs, Devin was inspired to make Maine her home, committing to the community of fishermen and farmers who source local ingredients from the island and the ocean around it. Since 2019, she has restored Goose Cove with its 21 acres of lush greenery and rocky coasts, to house a heavenly seasonal restaurant with cozy vintage cottages for guests to have a taste of her own “chef's dream.” In this episode, Devin shares all of the senses that can be found on Deer Isle, Maine from the mossy forest floor to the salty sea air, from the wildflowers gracing her dishes to the cracking of the wood fired stoves, and what makes those memories so meaningful for her family and her guests alike.  Top Takeaways [1:30] Devin paints a picturesque memory of growing up in the mountains of Vermont, working in her father's restaurants, gardening and milking the cow with her mother, enjoying homemade ice cream, butter, and maple syrup with her three sisters. [3:40] Without a formal culinary education, Devin shadowed in Michelin starred kitchens around the world, from Thomas Keller's The French Laundry, Dan Barber's Blue Hill at Stone Barns, and Kyle Connaughton's SingleThread Farms where she learned to “highlight the ingredient as it is.” [7:45] With its original location on Main Street in Stonington, Devin set out to create beautiful dishes “from the heart,” with a feminine touch of course.  [13:25] After deciding to relocate her growing family to restore an old restaurant and cottages along the forested coastline of Goose Cove, Devin's young daughters are learning their way around her culinary world as “momma's helpers.”  [15:20] Fishing is the way of life in Deer Isle, and Devin thought what better way to highlight the prized catch of the town, than by naming her restaurant “Lobster” in Italian.  [23:50] Overnight and dinner guests alike can dine in good company with Chef Devin's multi-course tasting menu that is no fuss, no frills, just fun. [30:30] Guests can “live a chef's dream” by supporting local fishers and farmers, from scallops and oysters to carrots and mesclun. [36:15] From farming her own oysters to harvesting honey from her beehives, from private dining greenhouses to a craft cocktail beach bar, from collaborations with other local female chefs to restaurants around the world, Devin continues to build upon her island destination.

Chef and serial restaurateur Greg Baxtrom is behind acclaimed Prospect Heights staples Olmsted, Maison Yaki and relative newcomer Patti Ann's Family Restaurant and Baker. A little over a week ago he launched a fourth restaurant — in Rockefeller Center. He joins the podcast today to discuss his mini empire and how discovered he wanted to be a chef in the first place — turns out learning how to make beef stew in the Boy Scouts had something to do with it. We talk about his resume, which is impressive by design (Per Se, Blue Hill at Stone Barns, etc.) and he walks us through his many pandemic pivots. Baxtrom breaks down the culinary scene at large, food trends that bore him, learning to not be one of those asshole chefs and where he eats when he's not working, which is not very often.   Brooklyn news and views you can use: bkmag.com  Email: hello@bkmag.com  Follow along on Facebook: Brooklyn Magazine  Twitter: @brooklynmag  Instagram: @brooklynmagazine  Follow Brian Braiker on Twitter: @slarkpope  

ep. 113: Benedikt Bösel · Land Use Pioneer Forces of Nature is a talkshow miniseries featuring dynamic leaders from across food & environmental movements. Tune-in for a dose of optimism.   ECOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES IN LAND USE w/ host: Aaron Niederhelman Benedikt Bösel is founder and CEO of Gut & Bösel, a 3,000 hectare ecological farm and land use research center east of Berlin, Germany.  The site is quickly becoming an epicenter for the future of food & fiber production.  It's the whole ball of wax from regenerative food production practice, forestry management, savvy land use, stewardship initiatives, animal centric integration, and even a royal bed & breakfast to welcome new guests to the movement. It's a gem of a spot and a big win for the EU Regen. In 2016, Benedikt took over management of the land that's been in his family for 300 years. He changed the operating system to farm and forest by improving the ecology. In just a few short years, Gut & Bösel has grown from a concept to now tabulating positive outcomes of systemic land use management trials.   Brought together in Brandenburg, this epicenter will expand everyone's capabilities to understand and to work smarter with natural systems.  Buy-in has been good. Agtech is woven into the fabric of this innovation hot-bed, and influential players from around the Brandenburg region, across Germany and throughout Europe have responded to Gut & Bösel with resounding support. In the blink of an eye, Benedikt has laid the foundation for a Stone Barns, EURO.   --- LAND USE PIONEER ---   FARMING THE ELEMENTS Mitigating climate change & biodiversity loss, staving off hunger & malnutrition and even offering equal opportunities for all, at Gut & Bösel they believe that land use is the key to addressing many pressing problems. Through holistic pasture management, composting, syntropic agroforestry and forest conversion, and even the development of new software and technology – they're working on methods of multifunctional agriculture to build healthy, resilient and thriving ecosystems. The Brandenburg region has little precipitation and very sandy soils. It's a challenging place to farm. Benedikt came to Alt Madlitz with a grand idea. Then drought came, and everything changed. This forced him to innovate years before originally planned. Benedikt doubled down on closing the nutrient cycling loop of ecology to keep healthy production from his land. He's weathered that storm and now built resiliency.   AWARD WINNING EFFORTS & DEFT TOUCH Benedikt was named 2022 Farmer of the Year in Germany by the Federal Minister of Agriculture. The Gut & Bösel team was recently the subject of a six-part Disney+ miniseries titled ‘The Farm Experiment‘, which is expected to drop in 2023. The release of a book sharing more of the good, the bad and the journey to date is on the docket. In ep. #113 we chat about the soon to begin World Cup 2022. You get some insight into Benedikt's POV on global affairs, and where he believes change is going to come from. We also learn that despite being a German football fan at heart, it's the NBA that gets Benedikt to kick back and have a few beers. In fact, it's my hometown Boston Celtics may be his team. Go GREEN (C's & The Planet). I'm pulling for team USA in Qatar, but no matter what happens I'm just excited to see the beautiful game played on its grandest stage.  Despite all the problems that brings.   https://sourcingmatters.show

Episode 142: Jorge GaviriaThis week, we're thrilled to welcome Masienda founder Jorge Gaviria to #TalkCookbooks with us.Jorge's first cookbook, Masa: Techniques, Recipes, and Reflections on a Timeless Staple, explores the deep history and significance of masa—the dough made of nixtamalized corn that goes on to become tortillas, tamales, sopes, and many more Mexican and global staples. It all started with a realization while apprenticing at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Jorge started to dream of opening the “tortilla equivalent of Tartine Bakery, the San Francisco–based high temple of sourdough.” That idea led to sourcing heirloom corn and masa harina (the dried version of masa) from local farmers in Oaxaca and supplying some of New York City's top chefs. Jorge's company, Masienda, was born.Eight years later, Masienda is on a quest to revolutionize how we think about corn—and therefore, masa, masa harina, and other products. Today he's sourcing heirloom corn from a network of 2,000 farmers across six states in Mexico. And yet, he realized something else was missing: a text.And so, he created Masa the book. It's a quite comprehensive tome (nearly 300 pages) on the history of corn and masa and a guide that's as useful for a home cook as it is for a scientist. (Want to nixtamalize your own corn at home? Jorge walks you through it! And offers practical lessons on how to make high-quality masa at home.) Somewhat shockingly, this is the first major cookbook to focus on masa.Of course, there are recipes, too. Masa offers 50 base recipes for tortillas, tamales, pozole, and more to build on, as well as inventive recipes from top chefs across the world. (Get two of them this week by becoming a paid subscriber to Salt + Spine!)Jorge writes that “like sourdough before it, craft masa is on the brink of a global culinary movement.”In today's show, we're talking with Jorge about what led him to focus on masa and launching his company Masienda, about how we're now in a “third wave” of masa, and we're putting him to the test in our signature game.[[EPISODE DETAILS GO HERE.

#083: Real Organic Project co-founder Dave Chapman is joined by renowned author and market gardener Eliot Colemanm, and Stone Barns Farm Manager Jack Algiere, at the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture in Tarrytown, NY. The three address an audience of chefs, doctors, nutritionists, and other organic food enthusiasts. Dave Chapman owns and operates Long Wind Farm in East Thetford, VT, which concentrates on soil-grown glasshouse tomatoes that are produced year round, a true feat in Vermont's cold climate. Dave is a longtime organic farmer, who along with fellow Vermont tomato farmer Dave Miskell noticed the suspicious appearance of  hydroponic tomatoes from other countries being sold with the USDA organic sticker a handful of years ago. Their research led to a web of injustices and untruths affecting real organic farmers throughout the organic industry, including berry growers, dairy producers,  grain farmers and more. The Real Organic Project was founded in 2017 and has evolved into an add-on food label. It is 100% farmer-led organization.Eliot Coleman is an author, market gardener, and educator. His work on the USDA study in the late 1970's, "Report and Recommendations on Organic Farming" helped lead to the formation of the National Organic Program, setting the very standards that are being ignored by corporate interests today. Jack Algiere is the Director of Agroecology at the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, a farming enterprise that welcomes the public to enjoy the nature trails, farming operation, and food grown on site at its restaurants, including the famed Blue Hill. Relying on decades of farming experience, Jack works closely with chefs in the kitchen to grow a variety of crops for their dishes. He also oversees projects that communicate the importance of land stewardship and nature-based farming to visitors.

Coffee is more than just a drink. It is an expression of cultural values and a vehicle through which we experience many different facets of this rich life. No matter where you are from, it is easy to think only of the our own way of enjoying coffee and then to never really explore how deeply rooted and significant coffee is around the world in cultures different from our own.  Well today we are going to balance the scales a bit and broaden our worldview of coffee by talking with the author of a new book all about global coffee culture, Lani Kingston! Lani Kingston is a food consultant, author, and founder of F&B agency, Four Seasons of Food. Her first book, How to Make Coffee: The Science Behind the Bean, was released to international acclaim in 2015 and has since been translated into several languages. Her third book on coffee, Spill The Beans: Global Coffee Culture was released by international publisher gestalten in February 2022. Lani has written extensively about food and drink for varied publications and developed F&B products and brands around the world. Armed with a Masters in Food Studies, a Masters in Education, pastry chef, and barista qualifications, she's spent the last 15 years working the breadth of the industry: she helped set up and ran the European offshoot of MAST Chocolate; led a food-waste-powered cooking school in Australia; set up a coffee company in Singapore; and worked with renowned chef Dan Barber at his prestigious farm-to-table upstate New York restaurant Blue Hill at Stone Barns. You can follow her adventures in food and coffee on Instagram @lanikingston, read more about her work at lanikingston.com, or get help with your f&b business at fourseasonsoffood.com. In our conversation with Lani we will explore how her experiences in writing, the culinary world, and coffee have influenced and shaped her pursuit of giving readers not just information about coffee, but an understanding of it through exploring its meaning and the story of its expressions globally.  We cover:  Initial career and experiences in the food industry Discovering coffee through writing Immersion into the culture of coffee Writing t give understanding Exploring global coffee culture Unfurling the true coffee story and inspiring wonder Expanding our view of what good coffee is How culture and history deepens our understanding  Allowing your understanding of culture to evolve Favorite recipes from the book   Links: www.Fourseasonsoffood.com Lani on Instagram @lanikingston   Related episodes: 022 : Founder Friday w/ Colin Harmon of 3fe Coffee, Dublin Ireland & Author of the new book, “What I know About Running Coffee Shops” 349 : Talking About 21st Century Coffee w/ Kenneth Davids 297 : Making Coffee Education Fun w/ Suneal Pabari of Leaderboard Coffee 198 : The Evolution of the Coffee Shop w/ Prof. Jonathan Morris 196 : Understanding Customer Preferences w/ Peter Giuliano Interested in consulting?

Lani is a well known coffee-writer and global food industry consultant, and has has published best-selling coffee books in the USA, Finland, Sweden, China, Korea, Thailand and the UK. In her work, she has written about the history of what a third place is through the lens of the coffee shop. She has over a decade of experience in every corner of the food industry (and every corner of the world), including serving as a barista in London.This interview is a lot of fun and shows how important third places are in our lives. After talking with Lani, we would even say that to fully live this human experience is to include finding your own Third Place.*******www.lanikingston.comIn addition to writing books about coffee, Lani has written culinary articles for a range of print magazines and newspapers; set-up and managed London's largest bean-to-bar chocolate factory; headed up a cooking school run entirely with ‘food waste'; worked as one of Chef Dan Barber's senior managers at his World 50 Best Restaurant Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Upstate New York; judged food and coffee for the UK's prestigious annual Great Taste Awards; set up food brands and retail stores in Singapore; and traveled and researched food production and preparation all around the world.With over a decade of experience in every corner of the industry (and every corner of the world), Lani saw first hand where food businesses were most in need of support. In response, she started a global food and beverage support agency, Four Seasons of Food, offering on-call, highly experienced and affordable staff for the movers and shakers of the food world.What Lani loves most about her work is that she never stops exploring and learning. Throughout her career, she's been lucky enough to bake pies in English bakeries, learn about hunting reindeer from Fäviken's gunsmith, tap maple trees in Wisconsin, mill flour in an 1800's Lincolnshire windmill, cook Peranakan cakes with Singaporean grandmothers, eat rattlesnake in the Arizona desert, forage for wild food at River Cottage, spend Swedish Midsummer on a potato farm, venture deep under the streets of London to harvest herbs from disused Air Raid bunkers, harvest cacao with local farmers in the hills of Kerala, India – and much more!*******The Third Place Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners into the hard conversations that we have a tendency to avoid.We “go there” on things such as…How anger is beautifulHow to find presence amidst chaosHow to have difficult conversationsHow to be an allyHow to live with griefThe Third Place is a safe place where curiosity is encouraged, differences are welcomed, and empathy is embraced through healthy dialogue.We've forgotten how to talk to each other… Life has become polarized and dualistic - you're either with me or against me. To embrace the complex human experience is to see the world through other's eyes. The Third Place podcast helps with the disconnect. This looks like less conflict and tension and more like a peaceful existence with others. The Third Place podcast restores the art of dialogue.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-third-place/donations

This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens and Paleovalley. Our current food system is not working. Food waste is at an all-time high, food deserts exist in many neighborhoods, and our produce is falling short in flavor and nutrients. The good news is that innovators in various fields are implementing ideas that promote better access to fresh, nutritious, and tastier food for everyone. In today's episode, I talk with Kavita Shukla, Tobias Peggs, and Dan Barber about a creative way to reduce food waste, growing the number of farmers in urban areas, and ideas to improve the flavor and nutrition profile of produce. Kavita Shukla is the founder and CEO of The FRESHGLOW Co. and the inventor of FreshPaper, a simple innovation taking on the massive global challenge of food waste by keeping food fresher longer. FreshPaper is used by farmers and families across the globe, and The FRESHGLOW Co. has partnered with some of the largest retailers in the world, from Whole Foods to Walmart, so that people everywhere can take advantage of this incredible product and the goodness of real food. Tobias Peggs is the cofounder and CEO of Square Roots, the Brooklyn-based urban farming company known for changing the way people think about growing local food and training the country's future generations of farmers. Previously, he led Aviary, a mobile photo-editing company, as its CEO until its acquisition by Adobe and was also CEO at OneRiot, a social media analytics company, since acquired by Walmart. Tobias grew up in England and has a PhD in Artificial Intelligence from Cardiff University. Dan Barber is breaking the conventional ways we eat, cook, and think about food. He is the chef and co-owner of Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns and the author of The Third Plate. He also cofounded Row 7 Seed Company, a seed company bringing together chefs and plant breeders in the development of new varieties of vegetables and grains. Dan has received multiple James Beard awards including Best Chef: New York City (2006) and the country's Outstanding Chef (2009). In this episode, it's clear how mutually passionate Dan and I are about changing the current food system and doing so in a way that promotes health and supports the environment.

Dan Barber is on a mission to quite literally plant seeds for a better future. Around a decade ago, after learning that the nation's largest food companies rarely breed food for flavor—and instead select for self-serving characteristics, such as the ability to produce high yields or endure long-distance travel—Barber, a chef and the co-owner of the restaurants Blue Hill in Manhattan and Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Tarrytown, New York, turned his attention to seeds. From there, he collaborated with a vegetable breeder to make the honeynut squash, a sweeter, healthier version of the butternut variety, and has since used his cooking to raise awareness about the vital roles seeds can play in our food system. A co-founder of the seed company Row 7, he is not only concerned with the beneficial impacts seeds can have on taste buds, but also on communities and the planet.Rethinking what people eat has played a constant role in Barber's practice. His cooking style, honed at restaurants including Alice Waters's Chez Panisse, favors minimal ingredients as a way of celebrating their distinctive tastes. His upstate restaurant sits on a property shared with the Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture, a nonprofit operation that includes a regenerative farm and robust educational programming; there, his Blue Hill kitchen staff works with the Stone Barns teams to develop new ideas around food and farming. Barber regularly hosts educational programs, too, such as WastED, a 2015 pop-up that served delicious dishes made from ingredients most of us would consider trash.On this episode, Barber talks with Andrew about the distinctive role that restaurants can play in supporting social movements, food scraps as part of a chef's DNA, and why producing more food won't solve food insecurity.Special thanks to our Season 5 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Full transcriptResourcED [05:07]Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture [09:09]Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns [15:11]The Third Plate [15:11]Row 7 [27:35]Michael Mazourek [27:35]Eliot Coleman [51:43]WastED [01:00:32]

#058: Legendary organic farmer Eliot Coleman inspired Chef Dan Barber to focus on serving regional ingredients that could shape the food culture and ecological practices of his community for the better.

His work on the USDA study in the late 1970's, "Report and Recommendations on Organic Farming" helped lead to the formation of the National Organic Program, setting the very standards that are being ignored by corporate interests today.Dan Barber is the author of the Third Plate: Field Notes on the Future of Food, the founder of Row 7 Seed Company, and the ecologically-minded chef behind the truly farm to table menu at Blue Hill at Stone Barns.  He is a multiple James Beard Award winner, including: Best Chef New York City.
