0:00.0	Hi, everyone's
0:02.0	Hi, everyone, you're listening to Radio Cherrybaum, and I'm your host, Carrie Diamond, coming to you from Rockefeller Center in the heart of New York City. If you're new to our show, each week we talk to the coolest culinary personalities around, the folks shaping and shaking up the food scene. I'm a big fan of today's guest. It's Hillary Sterling, the executive chef of Chi Siamo, the latest
0:39.4	restaurant from the esteemed Union Square Hospitality Group. Chi Siamo is tucked in a lovely,
0:45.1	quiet corner of Manhattan West, a new development in New York City. The cuisine is Italian-focused,
0:50.5	with lots of open fire cooking, and a big open kitchen. So Chef Hillary and her team are on
0:56.4	full display each evening, as we will discuss. I ate there the other night and everything was
1:01.6	fantastic. I saw some old friends, drank some prosceco, ate some great pasta and gelato, and left

1:37.8	Territory has been sending me meals to try this month, and I love what they've delivered.
1:42.1	Territory works with talented local chefs to create their
1:44.8	menu items, which means Territory's meals are fresh because they're cooked and packed locally
1:49.9	than delivered across town, not shipped across the country. The chefs work with Territory's
1:55.0	registered dietitians to make sure everything is made with nutrient-dense ingredients for a healthy
2:00.1	balanced diet.
2:01.5	Okay, a few of my recent faves, the cauliflower noki primavera with broccoli pesto,
