Chicken French recipe and story by Kristen Hess featured in the NY Times Food section in 2018

That led to a feature on the front page + I rewrote it here:

Even though I write about food on somewhat regular occasion, I'm recently encountering the phrase "semi-fine dining." Is the food mid? Do they get mixed reviews? Is it like when someone says, "I'm fine" in a tone that indicates they are anything but? #foodwriter #Foodsky
