Eater Nominated for 2 NY Emmy Awards

Eater Video

The video team has been recognized twice in the category in the Informational/Instructional category

Eater has scored two nominations in the annual New York Emmy Awards, both in the category of Informational/Instructional — Long Form Content.

One of the two candidates to take home the award is “How An Indoor Farm Uses Technology to Grow 80,000 Pounds of Produce Per Week,” an episode of Dan Does that looks into the technology used by Bowery Farming to create a network of vertical farms in NYC. Reimagining agriculture with digital innovations, Bowery Farming aims to use 95% less water and zero pesticides without compromising the flavor of the produce. Producer and host Daniel Geneen takes the audience through each step of the process, learning how produce is grown inside and shipped out fresh to consumers.

The other nomination is a standout Vendors episode, “How Yama Seafood Sells 8,000 Pounds of Tuna to NYC’s Michelin-Starred Restaurants,” in which we follow a top NYC seafood vendor as he and his team prepare their main product: tuna. Starting with cutting down the tuna at 3 a.m. for restaurant clientele across the city, viewers get a glimpse into the step-by-step processes of Yama Seafood and why they approach their work the way they do.

Nominated multiple times, Eater’s video team has won four NY Emmy Awards over the years, including a win in 2021 for another Vendors episode, “How Steven Wong Moves 80,000 Pounds of Lobster a Week,” as well as an award in 2020 for an episode of the series Queer Table and two awards in 2017.

A Comforting Braised Pig Feet Recipe Perfect for Your Pressure Cooker

Image
Louiie Victa Chef Jenny Dorsey’s recipe is a testament to the trotter’s versatility When I go grocery shopping, I always look for pig feet. In the sea of unrecognizably standard-looking cuts of animal muscles at grocery stores — disk-shaped loins, round humps of pork butt — trotters are always the anomaly. They look most precisely as they were: feet, hooves, the tired bones and tissue that kept an animal upright its whole life. Unfortunately for pig feet, their look hasn’t exactly made them a popular part of the mainstream American diet. As Cecil Adams wrote back in 2016, one of the challenges in encouraging more Americans to consume offal and organ meat is that “organs resemble, well, body parts: any steak slapped on a plate looks like dinner, while a lovingly presented calf heart may suggest an autopsy.” And, Adams added, there’s the “socioeconomic stigma…that had a racial component too,” which is only exacerbated by “travelogue shows [like] Bizarre Foods .” Despite being mali...

Beyond Impossible: The Sanitarium and World War II Past of Meat Substitutes

Image
Photo by Tom Kelley/Getty Images We’ve come a long way from John Harvey Kellogg’s “protose cutlets” It’s no stretch to say that fake meat is having a moment . With the popularity of brands such as Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat joining fast-food menus and grocery store aisles alike, plant-based meats are no longer seen as a sad option for vegetarians long denied flavor with meat substitutes (though, as we know, plenty of vegetarian food is packed with flavor), but for anyone who enjoys a good burger, fried chicken, or nuggets. But are meat substitutes really the future of eating? Maybe by necessity as food resources run out, but not likely by choice. In fact, despite the big money raked in by Impossible and Beyond over the past few years, industrial meat consumption in America is actually on the rise. This week on Gastropod , Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley see how the not-sausage gets made, with visits to the Impossible Meat lab and Meati , a Colorado-based start-up that’...

Without Government Aid, Americans in Need Are Shoplifting Food Essentials

Photo: Niloo /Shutterstock Plus, Colin Kaepernick gets his own Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor, and more news to start your day More people admit to shoplifting what they need to survive Since the pandemic began, Americans have called for relief for individuals and small businesses. Stimulus checks, rent and mortgage cancelation, and universal health care have all been on the table. But aside from $1,200 months ago, we’ve gotten none of that, and the latest stimulus package is woefully inadequate. So, as the Washington Post reports , more people than ever have resorted to stealing essentials like bread, baby formula, and diapers to survive. Honestly, what did the government expect? WaPo says there’s been a 45 percent increase in the number of Americans facing hunger this year, up to 54 million people. Lines at food banks have been miles long for months, with many saying that mutual aid groups and donations can’t keep up with demand . And with SNAP and WIC programs cut back,...
