Second generation

Growing up a second-generation Hungarian Jew meant Jeremy Salamon spent a lot of time with family, gathered around a good meal. Jeremy honoured both his grandmothers, Agi and Arlene, in 2021 by opening up his restaurant Agi's Counter in Brooklyn where he carries on the culture, flavours, and recipes from his heritage. He's reimagined those traditions with an eye towards seasonality, market-driven ingredients, and a touch of American influence, plus the technical expertise of a career spent in some of New York's best kitchens. In 'Second Generation', traditional Hungarian classics like Meggyleves, a Sour Cherry Soup, are updated with a 21st-century point of view; and not just main and side dishes are covered, but desserts, drinks, noshes, pantry staples, and remedies - the secret recipes to reach for in times of need.
