THE FOOD SEEN

On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, Ned Baldwin, son and grandson of a fisherman, chef/owner of Houseman restaurant in Lower Manhattan's Hudson Square, has long been inspired by the Norwegian word husmanskost, loosely translated to "everyday food." He's built his palate by way of commercial fishing, studying sculpture, and furniture making, and now renders near perfect versions of roast chicken and steak frites. It's all a practice of what's practical versus impractical, and how to mix in overlooked seafood, like bluefish, into a menu you want to eat every day. And THE FOOD SEEN's first windsurfing analogy on air!

On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, a cabaret may be a form of theatrical entertainment, but it's also a lifestyle for Daniel Isengart. Born in Germany, and raised in Paris, he's the living embodiment of culinary art meets the arts. While pursuing a stage career, he also found himself catering to New York's socialite sect and feeding a class of downtown creatives just like Alice B. Toklas and Gertrude Stein did during the Parisian avant-garde movement, as profiled in his memoir, The Art of Gay Cooking, which opens curtains to an artist, through the world of food.

On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, Christina Lecki runs Reynard, a wood-fire restaurant in Brooklyn's Wythe Hotel, with an ambition of being 100% sustainable. There's a whole animal butchery program, a 24-hour cooking schedule, food scraps are made into meals, and even dye the fabrics used at the table. While food is one of the top emitters of greenhouse gas, Lecki is the opposite of hot air, putting her operations money where her mouth is, funding farmers as natural resources; a return on investment we can relish.

On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, we mix up a Negroni cocktail, as Campari (the storied Italian bitter liqueur) celebrates Negroni Week. It only makes sense to speak to three Negroni ambassadors, as analogy to the cocktail's 1:1:1 recipe ratio. First, Gary "Gaz" Regan's recounts his book, "The Negroni" and the century old tale of Count Negroni's drink order which changed the face of cocktail culture. We'll sit at the bar with Naren Young of Dante, who's cocktail list boasts a Negroni on tap at his aperitivos in his all-day eatery. Sother Teague of Amor y Amargo (and Heritage Radio Network's The Speakeasy), stops by the studio to iterate on the classic cocktail, creating contemporary variations, while still staying true to the Negroni's bitter past.

On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, Maryland native, Drew Lazor, writes about cocktail culture for PUNCH, and most recently authored their low-alcohol drinks book, Session Cocktails. (NOTE: Lazor grew up drinking Baltimore's own Orange Crush.) With a library of libation anecdotes, Lazor's bar talk is fluid, but if you want to coherently converse and be drinking throughout, the 3/4-ounce rule is for you! Cobblers, Kir Royales, Sours and Collins, are a grade of mixed drinks made for those of us that want to drink all day!

On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, Gaz Oakley grew up on the south coast of Wales in the UK. He aptly chose catering as a subject for his GSCE when he was 14 years old, and from there on out, food became his core. For years, Gaz cooked in hotels, restaurants, but it wasn't until a few years ago, that he decided to become vegan, and truly found his food voice. Avant Garde Vegan, started as an Instagram feed, @avantgardevegan, now with over 200K followers, and then became a YouTube channel, now with over 400K subscribers. He's now released his first cookbook, Vegan 100, and challenges the modern precepts of veganism, with fun, flavorful recipes, that you don't have to just be a vegan to enjoy.

On today’s episode of THE FOOD SEEN, no one sets a scene like Southern boys, Ben Knox and Christopher Spaulding of Reclaim Design. Their narrative driven designs are inspired by years in theatre, and have somehow made a home in many a cookbook (e.g. The Art of the Cheese Plate, Eat What You Watch, Toast Water, Hot Cheese, Captain's Cocktails, Crimes Against Whiskey, Ranch, Tiki ... to name a few). Like an actor ability to story tell, the costumes they now lay are tabletops. From vintage tableware, to vintage desserts, Knox and Spaulding use pieces from their own lives to intersect this delicious world they've made for themselves.
