Couple Serves 'Bucket of Aioli' Beats Baby Food Biz
Patricia Howard and Ed Szymanski, the West Village power duo behind Dame, Lord's, and Crevette, are redefining veggie vibes with their iconic tomato sandwich. Ed 'serves a bucket of aioli' at every dinner party, fueling their empire and their one-year-old’s oyster ambitions. Patricia recalls, 'We’re gonna open restaurants together,' proving true foodie love means marinating tomatoes and growing kale dreams, all while juggling Daddy duties and the gold-standard Barbuto kale salad. It's like a culinary rom-com where the sandwich steals the show and kale gets a massage it desperately needed.

Ed and Patricia’s secret to success? Marinate everything and occasionally let your baby sample oysters—nothing says ’kale yeah’ like a seafood start-up mixed with toddler taste tests.
