This week on Chewing, we talk about markets, chaos and scoby snax! Monica does a ride along with Blue Hill at Stone Barns chef Dan Barber to talk about his Row 7 Seed Company, and makes a trip to the farmers market. Ecologist Mark Easter tells us about his James Beard nominated book The Blue Plate: A Food Lover's Guide to Climate Chaos, along with more Beard nominees including chef and filmmaker Art Smith! Finally, Monica dares her family to try fungi cold cuts, and double dares Iris and Louisa to taste her homemade scoby snacks, but will they eat it?
