Jeremy Kittelson is now the culinary director of Edible Beats, the group behind such Justin Cucci hot spots as Linger, Root Down, Ophelia’s and the newly opened Vital Root. He chatted with Gretchen Kurtz for Chef and Tell, and opened his kitchen at Vital Root to our photographer, for a taste of his "vegetable-forward" cooking. All photos by Danielle Lirette.
