The Brooklyn-based chef talks to Mark and Kate about what made growing up with both of his grandmothers around so magical; how, with his much-loved restaurant, Agi's Counter, he's preserving the past as he helps it to evolve a bit; and why he thinks of some of his most popular recipes as Pokémon.

The Bittman Project is featuring two recipes from Jeremy's book, Second Generation: Hungarian and Jewish Classics Reimagined:
