22-year-old Massamilliano Eandi, seem positively ancient compared to wunderkind chefs like Flynn McGarry, until you realize how much Eandi’s accomplished in such a mind-bogglingly short span of time — working his way up the ranks at Michelin-starred restaurants, like Gordon Ramsey and ARBITUS in London, as well as the avant garde Combal.Zero in Rivoli, Italy, under the tutelage of the highly esteemed Davide Scabin…

Read MoreA Seafood-Lovers Brunch at Barchetta
Given our self-proclaimed obsession with shellfish, brunch often feels like a missed opportunity. After all, there are generally precious few seafood dishes available during the breakfast-meets-lunch meal, save for smoked salmon. But if anyone understands our penchant for under-the-sea eats, it’s Dave Pasternack, whose claim to fame was opening one of New York’s top seafood destinations, Esca, along with Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich back in 2000.
