Elana Karp is Head Chef and Culinary Co-founder of Plated, she stops by Cheddar with a look at what's new on the menu this month. We try three plated recipes, Chicken Bruschetta, Cacio e Pepe Skillet Pizza, and Greek Horiatiki with Marinated Feta. Each dish takes 30-40 minutes to prepare. Karp explains why food cooked at home tends to be healthier. She also says that, you're brown-bagging your lunch, salads without lettuce don't get soggy. She also talks about how Albertsons' recent acquisition of Plated will impact the meal-kit service's offerings.
