Taste Matters
Restaurant Trends 2012
Recap the year with Mitchell Davis joined by Andrew Knowlton and Adam Rapoport of Bon Appetit on the season finale of Taste Matters! Many culinary trends have emerged in 2012, perhaps none more popular than the "New Nordic" cuisine. Mitchell, Adam and Andrew discuss some of the Scandinavian dishes and ideas that have found their way into the New York restaurant scene. From tasting menus to economics, learn what restauranteurs are doing to keep up with the creative DIY ethos of today while maintaining their bottom line. Why is it so hard for visiting chefs to find success in NYC? How have food trucks found such stability in this city? What role does the media play in developing trends? Get inside the industry with a room full of experts on a great episode of Taste Matters. This program was sponsored by S. Wallace Edwards & Sons.
"Food like this [New Nordic] is hard to pull off. It's ambitious, creative and interesting but is it delicious? Only a few chefs can pull it off." [07:12]

"The fact that the chef of the century can come to NY and not succeed is incredible to me." [20:40]
