I grew up drinking Coffee Time syrup, aka coffee milk, when my parents had their coffee after dinner. When I started as a manager at Kalustyan's in NYC, I brought it in. It's been fun talking to other New Yorkers( I was raised upstate by parents from Brooklyn) about it.

Chef, In regards to Kosher Salt, I noticed a difference in sodium levels between Morton (More sodium content) and Diamond Crystal Salt (Less sodium content). Do you have a preference in your kitchen?

Any chance you’ll be at the National Restaurant Association Show this weekend?( I just can’t being myself to use the acronym). If so, swing by Sweet Grass Dairy booth 8178 in the North building @ Taste Of The States.

I’d love to share some cheese with you!
