James Beard Award-winning chef Michel Nischan partnered with Coterie resident Rita.
“Soup is simple, but when it’s made with real, whole foods, it becomes powerful,” Nischan told Coterie residents as they sampled the Chef Showdown offerings. “Whole foods like vegetables, grains, and legumes are like the original medicine cabinet. They don’t just feed you. They heal you.”
In collaborating with Coterie, Wholesome Crave now brings the benefits of a plant-forward diet to the residents of Hudson Yards.
As the Chef Showdown demonstrated, plant-based ingredients lend themselves to delicious dishes shared with friends in a fun, communal atmosphere––even when everyone’s eating out of a Fritos bag. “If a dish makes you smile before you even taste it, you know it’s good,” Walter said. “And Fritos make me smile.”
