LONG ISLAND’S ALL-STAR CHEFS: CLASS OF 2014

To help you get to know the people behind some of LI’s best restaurants, Newsday food writers Joan Reminick and Erica Marcus selected a dozen chefs notable for animating the local dining scene at J.A. Heneghan’s, Lola, The Riverhead Project, Prime and more. All 12 serve up new attitudes and ideas, and here they dish on everything from their favorite eateries to craziest customer requests.
