On this “On Foodable Side Dish,” Foodable video correspondent Agnes Chung takes us to the lower east side of Manhattan, where the highly acclaimed, veg-centric restaurant Dirt Candy has replanted itself to a new, larger location.

With Chef Amanda Cohen at the helm, Dirt Candy moves vegetables from a side dish to the main course, and it’s receiving praise along the way.

“This has been a work in progress, and we did open Dirt Candy — the original one — about seven years ago,” says Cohen. “I’d been working in the city for years and years, and I finally came to a point in my career where I wanted to work for myself and not others. And I really wanted a restaurant that was going to celebrate vegetables.”

Of course, we’ve seen chefs focusing more on vegetables being the star of the plate throughout the past year or so. But no one has done it as prominently as Cohen and her team.
