Former NYC superstar Chef Gavin Kaysen has returned to his mid-west roots to put Minneapolis on the culinary hot map. In the land of 10,000 lakes he visits a shuttered urban brewery that’s now producing a bounty of produce and sweet striped bass—in a symbiotic aquaponics farm.

Ep3: THE FLOATING FARM featuring CHEF JEREMIAH LANGHORNE

The bounty of the mid-Atlantic region holds countless treasures for famed chef Jeremiah Langhorne who grew up fishing and foraging off the riches of the Chesapeake region. Today his Michelin-starred restaurant in Washington, DC is a showcase for regional cuisine. On the water Chef Langhorne jumps in to savor “the best oyster of the region” where his favorite watermen are growing oysters in a method that locals decry as “insane, but maybe just crazy enough to work.” Cooking on a giant open fire, Chef Langhorne makes a sumptuous but simple grilled oyster dish, creates a unique take on mignonette, and offers tips on the quirky “local” method for shucking an oyster.
