Dinner at The Fat Radish

As part two of my evening in research for my story on The British Invasion — British chefs bringing their delicious food to the U.S. — we paid a visit to The Fat Radish, a lovely, well-appointed, simple restaurant on a gritty street near Chinatown that draws celebs and foodies for its farm-to-table food, presented beautifully.
