In the upcoming episode, Garten welcomes Danny Meyer, a celebrated figure in the culinary world, known for his groundbreaking contributions to the restaurant industry. Meyer, a New York City restaurateur, is the founder and executive chairman of the Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG) which comprises some of New York’s most acclaimed restaurants, including Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern, and Shake Shack.
In this episode, Garten greets Meyer with a delightful spread of croissants and smoked salmon served with vanilla coffee shakerato, an Italian iced coffee. The two industry veterans engage in a candid conversation, sharing stories of the best and worst times in the restaurant trade and delving into the secrets behind Meyer’s success. Meyer then returns the culinary favor by teaching Garten how to prepare his favorite home-cooked pasta dish, orecchiette with broccoli rabe and sausage, which they enjoy together in the garden.
