Chef Michael Cimarusti discusses the challenge of sourcing wild seafood and the thrill of catching your own dinner. Independent producer Whitney Henry-Lester captures the inspiring story of pie baker Teeny Lamothe. Jonathan Gold declares he's found his platonic ideal of a potato chip, and beloved TV personality and chef Sara Moulton gives us a rundown in how to shop efficiently at the farmers’ market.
