Back in May, we reported the opening of The Plaza Food Hall by Todd English in NYC, and recently Allen Salkin had the opportunity to tour the Hall with English himself. Get an up-close-and-personal look at the Hall's many stations, including a cheese section, The Ocean Grill fish grill, and a dumpling bar at which English's chefs will be experimenting with a variety of Asian cuisines.

"Behind The Apron," is a video series featuring news-breaking conversations between the journalist Allen Salkin and the biggest names in the culinary world. The series goes beyond the plate and into the lives of those in the food world who have become mainstream cultural icons. In a turnaround from his TV role as head judge on Top Chef, Tom Colicchio talks about his struggle to rise to the expectations of judges at the James Beard Foundation; Jose Andres gets political; and Jacques Pepin laughs about the social ascendance of chefs over the past two decades from blue collar workers into "geniuses." Much more is to come in this groundbreaking series.
