#396 Herb & Wood changed the city's dining culture when chef Brian Malarkey and Chris Puffer opened it in Little Italy 10 years ago. In restaurant culture, 10 years is 100 years. A feat. But how do you stay relevant in the new-new-new social-media restaurant craze? You hire a "kid" like Aidan Owens, who's one of the fastest-rising young chefs we've seen in the city in a long time. He started cooking at an early age to pay his way through teen years. Now he's got a rep for whole-animal butchery, fermentation projects, and amiably stalking fishermen and farmers. He's rehabbing the menu at Herb & Wood, basing it completely on ingredients. This is his story. To follow chef Aidan click HERE. To follow Herb & Wood click HERE. To follow Herb & Sea click HERE.
