On todays episode of THE FOOD SEEN, Marco Canora regales us with his path towards A GOOD FOOD DAY. After surviving a decade behind the stoves at Hearth restaurant in NYCs East Village, with its 70 hour work weeks, breakfast, lunch and dinner of coffee, bread, and cigarettes, until that after shift burger, Chinese food order, or 24-hour bodega ham and cheese sandwich at 130AM, Marco had to make a healthy decision or further face the consequences. Prompted by a scary diagnosis of inevitable diabetes and gout if he didnt change his habits, Marco didnt want to compromise his life as most that diet do, but understood he couldnt keep going on like this. Thats where his training as a chef, and obsessive researcher, may have saved his life, all the while making it more delicious. Most recently opening a little takeout window called Brodo, which began the bone broth craze, Marcos constantly searching inside himself, on how to be a better cook, husband, father, business owner, and enlightened eater. This program was brought to you by Brooklyn Slate. I was never a junk food kid - I never ate a lot of processed food, but I ate a lot of bread. The vast majority of my diet over the course of a decade was basically bread. 03:00 Its not that broth hasnt been around - nobody has treated it like a hot beverage and put it in a coffee cup. I did that and everybody went kind of wild for it....Im a big believer in controlling the controllables as best as I can. What happened with Brodo is kind of uncontrollable. [10:00] Everybody thinks eating well needs to be surrounded by depravation. Its not depravation at all - Im a f*cking hedonist. I love food, i eat food like crazy. I dont have to be hungry to eat food -- its a huge part of my life. A lot of people are afraid of eating well because they think youre turning your back on this stuff.
