Chapter 1, “Ground Zero” (86’d: How A Global Pandemic Rocked The World’s Culinary Capital)

In this first installment of 86’d: How A Global Pandemic Rocked The World’s Culinary Capital, Rob Petrone takes us back to the beginning of COVID-19 in New York -- and how the restaurant industry was responding in those early days last March.

Take a trip to “Ground Zero,” New Rochelle, to see how one restaurant in the containment zone -- Jerry DeJesus’s North End Tavern -- fared before the government-mandated shutdown.
Meet a mom-and-pop ice cream shop owner, Ellen Sledge of Penny Lick Ice Cream Co., who believed she had the virus.
Go to Chinatown to learn how the virus impacted businesses -- and life -- there before the rest of New York through the eyes of Wilson Tang of Nom Wah Tea Parlor.
Visit with one restaurant industry leader, Chip Wade of Union Square Hospitality Group, grappling with safety concerns.
And hear from a celebrity chef, Dale Talde, whose Goosefeather restaurant hasn’t even been open a year as he grapples with what feels like “nuclear warfare.”

Rob also speaks with The New Yorker staff writer Helen Rosner about the events of last March -- where we were and what we’ve learned.

As the owner of Penny Lick Ice Cream Co., Ellen Sledge can’t go a day without someone sharing with her their idea for an ice cream flavor. Everyone thinks they could make the perfect pint -- but as Ellen shares with Rob Petrone on this week’s Hot Takes on a Plate, there’s a lot more that goes into creating flavors than most people consider. Listen as Rob pitches Ellen his ideas for ice cream, sorbet and frozen yogurt -- and if Ellen likes one, you’ll be able to eat it yourself right after listening to this podcast!
