This is a culinary ode to old school East NY, Bushwick, and Crown Heights, Brooklyn before okra and kale were viewed as superfoods to the wealthy. Thank you, @attia, from @womanlymag for the incredible feature and the way you worked around my chaotic schedule in the middle of a literal earthquake. And ugh, these photo @sawyer_roque - thank you! Thank you for allowing me to geek out for a few minutes on your film camera. Although many of you know me for my athletic adventures, I am a classically trained chef. I love incorporating my love for different art forms into my work. It is always a joy when I can talk about culinary history, fat liberation, and, of course, share a recipe in the mix.
