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
