‘We Eat It Like an Apple’: Maker and Monger’s Anthony Femia on Burrata-Gate, Plus His Top Chef Toastie Series
This month, New York Magazine's Grub Street published an article dubbing Burrata "a big fat blob of boring", triggering a heated debate around the world about a cheese that's long been a darling of the dining scene.
