We love our Kitchen Curiosities Conversation with Chef Bill Telepan! He is the owner of Telepan on West 69th Street in New York. This was really fun for us. Thank you for making us feel so welcome and lots of laughs. In this Kitchen Curiosities, you will learn about Wellness In The Schools, a loved ingredient on Telepan’s spring menu, where in the world he would eat dinner tonight and much more! Also, we took tons of pictures you’ll see below.
The people there were so nice and passionate. We took lots of pictures so look below for the full scoop on everything!
With Chef Telepan! We gave him a bag of our Make Your Own Kale Chips. And he was sitting so we look tall ( :During our interview. After we did our interview with Chef Telepan, we had a scrumptious lunch. It was so cozy and warm there which was especially nice because it started to snow (in March!)
We had lunch in the dining room with our family and Kelly Ford and Mrs. Grausman.
It was a special day!
Let us start from the beginning with what we ate in order.
Telepan menu!! We decided every dish we ate was our favorite.
Everything was plated so neatly and elegantly.
I loved this chickpea soup with rosemary.
Lyla here..I devoured this house made mozzarella. I cleaned the plate and don’t think I shared ( :
Kelly and our parents all ordered this poached egg on frisee salad with wild mushrooms. Chef Telepan has a very special way he poaches his eggs. Everyone finished every bite.
I don’t look too excited about sharing my chickpea soup with Ly.
A variety of veggies and fermented veggies. We loved fermented and learned about it from the Fermentation on Wheels lady who came to our school
Everyone shared this smoked trout on a buckwheat pancake. So pretty and we loved all of the flavors.
We love beets and so we both had beet gnocchi. We finished all of it and will order this again if it’s on their menu next time. We loved how the plate is decorated.Here I am finishing my beet gnocchi.
