It's not every episode that we get to sit down and talk with a pioneer of our industry, and in today's show, we invite Chef Amanda Cohen to sit down and bring her incredible perspective on cooking and life as she reminisces about the vegetable forward journey she has been on over the last 20+ years. In 2008, Amanda opened up Dirt Candy, a groundbreaking vegetarian restaurant that took NYC by storm, and became one of the hottest tickets in town, where curious and passionate guests alike jockeyed for one of the 18 seats available each night. Fast forward 17 years, and Dirt Candy continues to pack it in, albiet in a larger space, each night as her loyal customers and fans show up to eat her clever and cheeky crave-inducing takes on classic combinations.
Here are some other highlights of the discussion:
