Jean-Georges Vongerichten on Watching New York Change
About this episode
Mark Bittman and Jean-Georges Vongerichten discuss the evolution of the New York food scene over the past four decades.
Mark has known Jean-Georges Vongerichten since 1987, when he arrived in New York. They've written books together. They've remained close friends for nearly 40 years. Today, they talk about Jean-Georges growing up in Alsace on pork fat, juniper berries, and parsley as the only herb anyone grew, and on arriving in New York when the Union Square Greenmarket was two stands selling apples and potatoes, and on watching the whole thing transform over four decades.
