Food City: Feast of the Five Boroughs(2017)

Food City: Feast of the Five Boroughs is a documentary that follows two chefs, Matt and Lars, as they attempt an ambitious culinary challenge: preparing a four-course meal for eight guests using only ingredients sourced from within New York City. The film explores the surprising diversity of food produced, farmed, fished, and foraged across the five boroughs, revealing a thriving local food ecosystem that most New Yorkers never see. As Matt and Lars hunt for ingredients and develop their menu, the documentary uncovers the farmers, fishermen, and foragers who sustain the city's hidden food network. The result is both a celebration of urban agriculture and a portrait of New York's complex relationship with the land that feeds it.
