When you dine in or order delivery from a pizza parlor, you’re likely doing so for the pies. Whether it'sDetroit-style, grandma, deep-dish, New York-style, Neapolitan, or pan, chances are that the pizzas themselves are luring you in.
But at chef Wylie Dufresne’s New York City restaurant Stretch Pizza, the biggest buzz is about an often overlooked pizzeria offering—a salad. In fact, The New York Times restaurant critic Pete Wells visited Stretch Pizza and wasn't necessarily expecting what he found. His headline? “Wylie Dufresne’s Pizzeria Has a Really Good Salad.”
Wells' review included some critique of the joint's pizza, but the snacks and salad offered on Stretch's menu were up to par. On the plus side for the pizza, fan feedback is more positive. Plus, Ina Garten and Ree Drummond (along with a number of other accomplished chefs) approve wholeheartedly.
The Food Network stars chimed in on an Instagram post shared by Dufresne’s wife, Maile Carpenter. “Wylie, keep making those DELICIOUS pizzas—and everything else—it’s all SO GOOD,” says Garten. “And your restaurant is so much fun!”
“Stretch is #1 on my NYC restaurant list next time I’m there!!” adds Drummond. “I have followed Wylie’s pizza passion and it has been inspiring on so many levels!!! Wylie, save me a seat, the review makes me want to get there and try that potato chip salad even sooner!!!”
The pies, sides, and desserts (banana soft serve with peanut butter and babka crumbs, take me away!) look worth the trip. But just like Drummond, we’re most excited to chat about this potato chip salad.
To rewind a bit, let’s talk about Stretch’s co-founders. Wylie Dufresne, who you may know from his previous Michelin star-worthy molecular gastronomy at wd~50, teamed up with

We’re back in New Zealand today to see more of Jill Hammond’s beautiful garden. She has spent the last 28 years transforming a 7.5-hectare (18.5-acre) piece of land in rural Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. When she and her husband moved in, it was a completely bare piece of land, so she’s created this entire garden from nothing.
Today we’re visiting with Jill Hammond.

REDUCING THE footprint of our lawns has been a key environmental message for gardeners in recent years, since lawns lack biodiversity and involve huge amounts of pollution between fertilizers, herbicides, and the gas used in mowing. But what to cultivate instead? That is the subject of a nearly 15-year native lawn research project at Cornell Botanic Gardens in Ithaca, New York, with some interesting insights.

Project Giving Back has announced that it will be continuing its support of gardens for good causes at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2025 and 2026. Speaking at the opening of the 2023 Gardens For Good Causes Exhibition at the Garden Museum in London, Project Giving Back’s CEO, Hattie Ghaui, said: “I am thrilled to confirm we will be supporting even more gardens for good causes at RHS Chelsea Flower Show until 2026. As we move into our third year of funding, it feels like PGB is still in its adolescent years and we wanted to give it time to mature into adulthood. We know from having to turn down some incredibly strong funding applications over the past couple of years that there are so many wonderful stories waiting to be told. We’re all excited to see how the creativity of charities, designers and wider garden teams continues to unfold and look forward to welcoming more partnerships into the PGB family.”

The Rocky Mountain Region is stretched over 10,000 feet in elevation change and nearly over the full longitude of the Continental United States.
