THE INSIDE TRACK

The Guys admire Dan Barber’s work as a top notch chef and champion of sustainable agriculture.

“When you understand who's behind it and the reasons for the history. There's a context, for which to enjoy food, and that only increases the flavor, and as a chef, there's no seasoning, and no cooking technique that I can provide that's more appealing than, than a good story."
