A Chef’s Best Friend
Visit the Union Square Greenmarket in the early morning, and you’ll find many New York City chefs searching for their day’s fare. Be it black kale, white beets, or dandelion greens, chefs flock to this market searching for the best produce available. Ruth Reichl, editor in chief of Gourmet magazine, joins Leonard, along with Bill Telepan, former chef of Midtown Manhattan's Judson Grill, and Tom Colicchio, chef-owner of Gramercy Tavern and Craft, to discuss what local farmers have that supermarkets don’t.
