Episode 358: Christina Lecki, Reynard
06/12/18 • 35 min
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.

Episode 357: The Negroni
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.

Episode 359: The Art of Gay Cooking with Daniel Isengart
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.
