Last week, we interviewed chef Ryan Hardy, who helms the kitchen at Charlie Bird.

No. 64: Breakfast nachos from Shopsin's
No. 65: Munich Pretzel from Radegast
No. 66: Burger (Bash or classic) from Burger & Barrel
In part one of my interview with Charlie Bird's Ryan Hardy, he talked about service, peanut butter and jelly, and the moment everything clicked for him. Today, he's back with his favorite ingredient, his best tip for an amateur cook, and the most memorable meal he's ever eaten.
No. 67: Ice cream (any ice cream) from Ample Hills Creamery
"I started cooking when I was a kid because I was the youngest of five in a big family," recalls Ryan Hardy, executive chef of Charlie Bird. "We were like slave labor, and cooking would teach us discipline and keep us busy on hot summer days. I hated it at the time, but the life lessons sunk in."

No. 69: Corn ravioli from Locanda Verde
No. 70: Smoked whitefish from Bear

Hip-hop thumped through the speakers as we took seats at the marble bar at Charlie Bird, the restaurant that opened at 5 King Street in the South Village just before the weekend got underway. It was Sunday, but the bi-level dining room hummed at the frenetic pace of a Saturday, a team of servers del ... More >>
