State Plate

New York

Entertainer Taylor Hicks tastes his way across New York on a quest to assemble a plate of the state’s most iconic foods. First, Taylor heads to the Union Square farmer’s market to gather ingredients for a classic Waldorf salad. Then, he visits Delmonico’s to learn how to cut and cook the namesake steak. Next, he travels to Central New York to sort spuds for salt potatoes and assemble the Italian-inspired Utica greens. Finally, he prepares a quintessential New York cheesecake. It’s a heaping helping of New York cuisine filled with the stories and legends behind the Empire State’s historic foods.
