NEW YORK — About 3,000 people attended the 2022 Baldor Bite show in downtown Manhattan, compared to about 1,750 at the last show, held every two years, except for 2020.
There were 170 exhibitors, 20 more than last time. There were panel sessions, including keynote speaker Chef Massimo Bottura, chef patron of three Michelin-starred Osteria Francescana and founder of food nonprofit Food for Soul.
Chef Brian George of the French-American Reserve restaurant sampled the green apple sorrel from the Fresh Origins microgreens booth.
“It really tastes like sour green apple, and it’s juicy,” George said. He uses edible flowers sometimes at his restaurant.
