The Company:
Cayuga Pure Organics
What They Do:
If you’ve limited your local lexicon to produce and animal products, consider your pantry now complete—as locally-grown beans, flours and grains are on the rise. The latter come organic from this Finger Lakes-area growing and distribution company founded by long-time farmers Erick Smith and Dan Lathwell in 2003. They [...]
Our September/October issue is up online, and it’s all about the fall harvest, baby. It’s in honor of our Eat Drink Local week, which runs from September 26th to October 6th.
To that end we spend a 17 hour day with the manager of Union Square greenmarket (chaos! cucurbits! cops! crowds! ), lay down the line on the [...]
Oh yes, all you city chowhounders, episode 13 of our Heritage Radio Network show is just for you: Hitting the streets for Coney Island tacos and tortas, Ditmas Park dumplings, Trinidadian roti and Caribbean Chinese food in Crown Heights, Brighton Beach Ukrainian bests, Old-school Italian-American in Bensonhurst and the secret codeword to let you know [...]

The Restaurateur:
Bill Telepan, chef and owner of the eponymously named Telepan.
What He Does:
After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, Bill Telepan spent the ’90s in some of the most high-profile restaurants in the city at the time: Le Cirque, Le Bernardin, Gotham Bar & Grill. Today, he owns and operates his hyper seasonally-driven [...]
‘Tis the season for farm-stand cocktails–one of our 11 Eat Drink Local week ingredients of the day. So we’re going around our towns (meaning our Edible communities of Manhattan, Brooklyn and the East End) asking bartenders to show us what they do this time of year with Crop organic vodka and Farmer’s gin. These two American-made [...]
This just in! GrowNYC is just now announcing the next roundup of chefs at the third annual Taste of Greenmarket event on Wednesday, October 6th at the Altman Building, one of the ne plus ultra farm-to-tasting events each year. This is one the cream of the crop of local and locally-minded chefs make a point to [...]
The Cheesemonger:
Anne Saxelby, purveyor, local cheese cheerleader, owner of Saxelby Cheesemongers
What She Does:
Like any good monger, Anne was pulled by an obsession—an obsession, in her case, for cheese. A college trip to Florence, Italy is to blame for ditching the degree in art and signing up for a job at Murray’s; an internship with Cato Corner [...]
It’s a rare occasion that we’d urge anybody to stay in and watch TV in a city so filled with fantastic experiences, food or otherwise. But tonight on PBS they’re airing documentarian Jessica Edwards‘ seven-minute short Seltzer Works, about Gomberg Seltzer Works in Canarsie. It airs at 10:50 p.m. as part of POV, the series [...]
