We’re also checking in with chefs from some of our favorite spots in Waterbury, New Haven, and Seymour to see how they’re doing at this phase of the pandemic. Plus, cookbook author and food writer Melissa Clark talks about her article “The Meat-Lover’s Guide to Eating Less Meat” and shares tips for home cooks who want to make more room on their plates for beans, grains, and tofu.
