All in a Day with Fabián von Hauske
December 15, 2018

In a video brought to you by Uber, we tag along with Chef Fabián von Hauske as he takes a break from his book tour to check in with his home base in NYC’s Lower East Side. The distance between Contra, Wildair, & Una Pizza Napoletana might be blessedly close, but if you think that means there’s no need for a go-to ride, you’ve never seen a chef hit a market. Bags on bags on bags. #DoorsAreAlwaysOpening

Darphin potato and uni

"Wildair's darphin potaro and uni is classic East meets West equals perfection! Crispy potato pancake topped with briny, meaty uni is the best combination in years. The potato pancake cuts the oceanic flavor of the uni while adding texture. Just get it."
