A Note from Feedfeed

We threw the Ultimate Comforta-Bowl Throdown at FeedfeedBrooklyn with our friends at Tuttorosso Tomatoes and we invited three New York City chefs to participate in a friendly showdown for the title of the best bowl. This dish, Japanese Curry Shakshuka, is by Chef Emily Yuen of Bessou, and was a complex crowd pleaser!
