Co-Hosts Julie Laipply and Jordan Barowitz visit the Gracie Mansion kitchen to checkout what dishes are being prepared for upcoming events. They chit chat and chop with head chef, Feliberto Estévez (Fili). During each episode, the team travels to a special food market in one of the five boroughs to purchase special ingredients. The featured dishes have been tested on the toughest crowd: New Yorkers. These recipes have grown to be staples of the Gracie Menu since winning praise from the New Yorkers of all cultures and ethnicities who visit Gracie each year.—Seth Unger
