Plus: at restaurants across the city, chefs and crew share a staff meal before dinner service. Banner reporter John-John Williamstakes us behind the scenes of “family meal,” and the talented cooks serving up homestyle dishes. Read the full story here, and check out photos of family meals being prepared.
