utica greens

I've had several people ask over the last few years to post the official Utica Greens Morelle recipe. My friend Joe Morelle, who passed away a few years ago, created Greens Morelle for the Chesterfield back in the 1980s. Nobody made Greens like Joe.

One of Utica's most famous recipes has a storied history. Today, the dish has been duplicated and reinvented over in over in cities outside Utica-Rome, like Manhattan, Boston, Buffalo and Albany.

A beloved dish that is tasty as it is historic shockingly ranks as the strangest food in the entire country.

Food Network star Guy Fieri decided to make a Central New York dish for Upstate New York Food Network star Anne Burrell. People have complained ever since.

And now for something completely disgusting!

Do you follow the custom that calls for eating black-eyed peas and greens first thing on New Year's Day? If you do, then you should have a very prosperous 2019.

Just because you live in Central New York doesn't mean you have to embrace all of our stereotypes.

The Travel Channel aired an episode of Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern that featured Utica restaurants Chesterfield's and Caruso's Pastry Shop.
