On today’s THE FOOD SEEN, husband/wife owners of dinnerware/house Fishs Eddy, Julie Gaines and David Lenovitz, fell in love 25 years ago over antiques and glassware. Now they’re a stalwart in New York City’s ever-changing dining scene, as seen by their stockpile of classic restaurant plates; a bastion for unadorned Americana at it’s finest (China). This program was sponsored by S. Wallace Edwards & Sons.
"I think Americans make the best China. It's made with love."
--Julie Gaines of Fishs Eddy on The Food Seen
