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-oldâs oyster ambitions. Patricia recalls, 'Weâre 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.
